I'm very protective of The Karate Kid franchise and even more so the Daniel LaRusso character. Speaking to Screen Rant about returning to the character, the actor said: "I've said 'No' for 30 years to almost everybody. Finding fame prior to the movie in the sitcom Eight Is Enough and the movie The Outsiders, Macchio's roles after playing Danny included the Oscar-winning My Cousin Vinny, the comedy-drama Ugly Betty and HBO's The Deuce. Ralph Macchio played Daniel, a bullied high school kid who becomes a karate master in The Karate Kid, The Karate Kid Part II and The Karate Kid Part III. All The Karate Kid stars who appear in Cobra Kai The Netflix show, however, is missing two of the leading stars of the first Karate Kid movie in Pat Morita, who died in 2005, and Elisabeth Shue-though there are a number of rumors that she may return for Cobra Kai Season 3. Ralph Macchio, who played Daniel LaRusso in three Karate Kid movies, returns, as does his one-time rival Johnny Lawrence (played by William Zabka). The show features many of the major cast members from the first movie 35 years later when the Cobra Kai from the 1984 movie reopens. The one-time YouTube series answers the questions of a lot of fans of The Karate Kid who wonder where the cast is now. Cobra Kai has been a blast from the past for many Netflix viewers.
