The last season of Netflix’s popular martial arts show Cobra Kai will start on November 15. The actor Yuji Okumoto promises that his character Chozen will have an interesting story. In upcoming shows, the character must decide how to balance his personal goals with his dedication to Miyagi-Do martial arts.
Okumoto said in a private talk that Chozen is still looking for happiness in his personal life while also taking care of his duties. One of the actors said, “He has a lot of unfinished business in Okinawa.” The main theme of his story will be putting young fighters’ training first, especially as they prepare for the Sekai Taikai competition.
“When we see what happens to him on his journey, he realizes now that the focus needs to be on the present, which is training the kids,” said Okumoto. This change is a big deal for Chozen, who has...

“Cobra Kai,” Netflix’s hit martial arts dramedy, is in the midst of its sixth and final season, which is being released in three parts. Netflix released a trailer for Part 2 on Wednesday, and it’s a kick in the head.
In the five episodes of Part 2, Miyagi-Do heads to Barcelona for Sekai Taikai, the world’s most prestigious martial arts tournament. Per Netflix’s official synopsis “At the Sekai Taikai, Miyagi-Do faces new challenges and old enemies as they fight to become world champions — can they stay united as internal rivalries bubble back to the surface?” In other words, Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (Billy Zabka) are at each others’ throats again, while the kids are feeling betrayed by Tory’s (Peyton List) defection to Cobra Kai.

The Miyagi-Do find their way to Barcelona for the fight of their lives during the Sekai Taikai tournament in the official trailer for the second part of Netflix’s Cobra Kai season six, which dropped on Wednesday.
But not all goes to plan, as sensei Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka, has his hands full getting his karate students motivated to battle to become world champions. “We’re Miyagi-Do. We’re not losing … So wipe the smirks off their ugly faces,” Lawrence tells the students after stand-outs like Hawk (Jacob Bertrand), Devon (Oona O’Brien) and Demetri (Gianni DeCenzo) take a beating during early tournament competition.
“The first thing that you’re going to notice is we’re not in the Valley anymore. It’s a totally different environment. The competitive space is different from previous All Valley tournaments. There’s no crowd watching. This is a karate temple that they’re going to,...

Production on the sixth and final season of the hit Netflix series Cobra Kai, a continuation of the Karate Kid film franchise, was delayed several months due to the writers and actors strikes last year – but the extended wait was worth it, because the show is wrapping up with a 15 episode season (previous seasons consisted of 10 episodes) that has been split up to make it a three part event. The first batch of episodes dropped back in July, and the second batch of episodes are set to begin streaming on November 15th. With that date right around the corner, a trailer for Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2 has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above!

Johnny Lawrence, Daniel Larusso and their students are headed overseas to compete in the international Sekai Taikai tournament in a new trailer for “Cobra Kai” Season 6 Part 2, which will drop on Netflix on Nov. 15.
The trailer shows the group landing in Barcelona, Spain and the group entering the doors of the karate competition, where they’re set to face off against 15 other teams. In addition to new rivals, Miyagi-Do will also deal with the fallout of Tory Nichols (Peyton List) defecting to Cobra Kai, while also fighting to stay united as internal rivalries bubble to the surface.
“We’ve heard all this garbage going around about loyalty. Almost all of us are trained somewhere else at some point,” Lawrence says in the teaser. “What matters is where our asses are now. We’re Miyagi-Do and we’re not losing. So wipe the smirks off their ugly faces.”

Do we really need a three-part final season of “Cobra Kai”? Netflix thinks so.
Trailers-wise, we are officially two-thirds of the way through the sixth and final season of the “Karate Kid” sequel series, which started way back in 2018 as a YouTube Premium show. Remember those days?
Since then, “Cobra Kai” has settled in nicely at Netflix. It’s a reliable series, though not an all-timer.
Now, in the Season 6-b trailer released on Wednesday, the Miyagi-do and Cobra Kai dojos head to Barcelona for the Sekai Taikai tournament. From Valley champs to world champs? Demetri (Gianni DeCenzo) doubts it.
“There’s no way we can win,” he says in the trailer.
Spoiler alert: There probably is a way.
On the bad side of the mats, Sensei John Kreese (Martin Kove) is fighting free.
“Some of us have nothing to lose,” he reminds Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio).

Netflix just released the first batch of photos from Cobra Kai season six part two. The new photos show Miyagi-Do out of the Valley and onto a bigger stage at the Sekai Taikai. The photos also provide our first look at Sensei Wolf, played by Lewis Tan (Deadpool v. Wolverine).
“We left off with the big surprise that Tory has joined Cobra Kai, so we’re in the aftermath of that with everyone reacting to what just happened, while also trying to get their footing –– as the new kids on the block –– of this giant international tournament that has been going on for decades. They have no idea what’s in store for them,” says series co-creator Jon Hurwitz to Netflix’s Tudum.

Ahead of Cobra Kai season six’s return to Netflix for part two on Nov. 15, viewers should get ready for the caliber of black belts and karate masters at the Sekai Taikai, the global tournament, to go way up.
When Miyagi-Do competes at the Sekai Taikai in Barcelona, there’ll be new challenges and old enemies as they fight to become world champions amid the usual high school and karate school rivalries.
“The first thing that you’re going to notice is we’re not in the Valley anymore. It’s a totally different environment. The competitive space is different from previous All Valley tournaments.

Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid is back at the helm for the sequel Mortal Kombat 2, and while the video game adaptation wrapped production back in January after a bumpy ride through the year of the strikes, it sounds like they’re doing some reshoots at the moment. Ludi Lin reprises the role of Liu Kang in the new film, and while doing the press rounds for the martial arts movie Art of Eight Limbs, where he co-stars with former TV Spider-Man Nicholas Hammond, Lin took a moment to hype Mortal Kombat 2 to the folks at Screen Rant, saying the sequel is bigger and better than its predecessor, and that Karl Urban’s performance as popular video game character Johnny Cage will “blow your socks off.”
The screenplay for Mortal Kombat 2 has been written by Jeremy Slater, who was the lead writer on the Marvel / Disney+ series Moon Knight.

The highly-anticipated sequel to last year’s hit “Mortal Kombat” reboot is primed to take the iconic fighting franchise to a whole new level, according to recent reveals from cast and crew. Speaking to reporters at Comic-Con 2024, star Lewis Tan teased that “Mortal Kombat 2” will deliver the long-awaited tournament format that gamers have adored since the franchise’s 1992 debut.
In the games, the tournament serves as a battle royale where champions from Earthrealm and Outworld duke it out fighter by fighter. Curiously absent from the 2021 film, fans lamented the missed opportunity to see signature battles play out on screen. However, Tan promises the sequel will rectify this oversight in spectacularly gory fashion.
“For the sequel, I can promise many more fights, much longer fights,” Tan revealed. He explained viewers can expect an authentic tournament structure that allows combatants like himself to literally battle it out in bracket-style competition. “It’s very gory,...

We're still waiting (and probably will be for a while longer) on a first look at some footage from Warner Bros./New Line's Mortal Kombat 2, but producer and co-creator of the iconic video game series, Ed Boon, has now taken to social media to share a teasing glimpse of one of the new characters who'll be debuting in the sequel, Kitana.
Her face is kept hidden, but we do get a look at the fan-favorite fighter's signature weapon and costume. Kitana will be played by Chilling Adventures of Sabrina actress Adeline Rudolph.
The Netflix series marked Rudolph's screen debut, but the Hong Kong-born model-turned-actress has also appeared in the CW’s Riverdale and Netflix’s Resident Evil series. She is also set to play the female lead in Millennium’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man.
Boon also revealed that he has seen an unfinished cut of the movie.

The next Mortal Kombat movie is going to kick things up a notch. That’s according to Lewis Tan, who plays Cole Young in the films. Tan talked all about Mortal Kombat 2 at San Diego Comic-Con this year. He says the fights will be even longer and bloodier than before. The gore and violence will be more intense, bringing the film closer to the super crazy battles in the video games.
Tan explained that the filmmakers listened to what fans liked and didn’t like about the first movie. “We made the sequel a hundred times better based on your feedback,” he said. One big change – this time they’re including an all-important tournament, just like in the games. The first movie left that part out.

Taking to Twitter, Ryan Reynolds has said goodbye to the Fox Universe of Marvel superhero films.
Of course, MCU fans are convinced that Deadpool & Wolverine won't be the last we see of the Fox Universe, thanks to 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars. And there's a chance that they might turn up sooner as Marvel Studios quietly backs away from Kang the Conqueror and The Kang Dynasty in 2026's Avengers 5.
Still, who knows if this is indeed the last time will visit Earth-10005?
On social media, Reynolds wrote, "This isn’t just Deadpool saying ‘Oh, Hello’ to the MCU. It’s Deadpool – and Hugh, Shawn and me – saying farewell to a place and an era that literally made us."
"We are forever grateful to the fun, weird, uneven and risky world of 20th Century Fox. It was our origin story and we wouldn’t trade it for anything. And thank you...

Despite all the wild theories out there currently floating around the internet regarding the surprises and cameos set to be unleashed in Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds says he's amazed that some of the film's biggest moments and appearances have yet to leak or even be hinted at.
When asked about what aspect of Deadpool & Wolverine would he have wanted Marvel legend Stan Lee to see, Reynolds replied that he couldn't answer because that particular piece of the film is currently still a secret.
"Oh boy, there's some surprises in this thing that I cannot believe are not out or on the internet yet, thank God. But I think there are things in this film that we've been hiding that I feel like Stan would 100% [love], yeah."
Hugh Jackman went on to add that he wishes Stan could've had a cameo and director Shawn Levy revealed the scene that he would've had Lee appear in.

With time travel and changing the past serving as a central element of the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film, what would Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige change if he could also change the past?
In an interview with Blavity TV, it's revealed that Deadpool is struggling with whether he can rewrite the past by changing one moment and the interviewer puts that same question to Feige. If we could change the past, what's the one thing that he would alter?
Feige took some time to think about the question and it seems as if he was hesitating to even answer but he ultimately revealed, "In little ways, there's lots of things," began the prolific Marvel Studios producer.
He continued, "You can't finish a project and then look at it again and not see lots of little things that you would have done differently. In the big picture, we've been very lucky.

Did the recently released, final trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine give away too much of the movie? That's the questions posed to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige in a new interview with Blavity TV.
Feige admitted that he wouldn't be opposed to only having one trailer for each new MCU film released but that it's not really his call to make.
"I would be open to it," said Feige on the notion of only having one trailer.
He continued, "I don't know that our marketing department, who knows better and who knows that we have to appeal- not just to the people like ourselves, who watch every trailer and analyze every shot but also the people who are busy doing other things with their lives. We also have to get in touch with them to let them know that the movie exists."

Simon McQuoid’s 2021 feature directorial debut with the martial arts fantasy film Mortal Kombat has certainly created a splash among fans but it was far from having an impressive box office gross. Still, New Line Cinema alongside Atomic Monster and Broken Road Productions is bringing a sequel to the first movie with Warner Brothers distributing the movie.
Sisi Stringer as Mileena in Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat 2 hype is quite promising as the movie will bring back the essence of the action-adventure fighting video game series, Mortal Kombat. However, fans have one subtle demand for the studio asking the makers not to repeat one critical mistake in the sequel of the action movie.
Mortal Kombat 2 Will Be “Way Bigger” Hiroyuki Sanada in Mortal Kombat
The preparation of the movie following the announcement has been long, perhaps, this time Warner Brothers are expecting more appealing sequences embedded into the narrative.

DC Studios is wasting no time in setting a release date for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow now that the movie has found its director.
The high-profile movie will fly into cinemas on June 26, 2026, DC and Warner Bros. announced Tuesday. It is the second film to receive a release date since James Gunn and Peter Safran were brought in to overhaul DC under the new banner DC Studios. The first was Superman, which Gunn is currently shooting for a July 2025 release date.
Flimmaker Craig Gillespie was tapped by Gunn and Safran to shepherd Supergirl, which stars Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon). She’ll play Superman’s Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman. The feature film, from a script by Ana Nogueira, is inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic, and will depart from the earnest take on the character seen on the CW Supergirl series.

It’s Deadpool’s first foray into the MCU and also the only MCU movie to be released in 2024, in the hopes of restoring at least some of the faith that the fans of the franchise lost in the last several years due to a string of several poorly received movies.
Recently, a teaser trailer was released during the Superbowl and we got a glimpse into the overall plot of the movie we can see Wade Wilson just trying to live his life after he resurrected Vanessa in ‘Deadpool 2’ when he is apprehended by Tva Agent Mr. Paradox for yet unknown purpose. The teaser trailer also confirmed that several old faces from the ‘Deadpool’ franchise are going to be making a return. Morena Baccarin confirmed her return several weeks ago.

Hiroyuki Sanada has wrapped up his scenes for Mortal Kombat 2 in Australia, just in time for the holidays. He’s reprising his role as Scorpion, the unforgettable cursed ninja from the first film. Sanada let slip that we’re in for a treat with both well-loved characters and some thrilling newcomers making their way into the sequel.
In the original Mortal Kombat, we delved into Scorpion’s heart-wrenching backstory and his ties to Cole Young, portrayed by Lewis Tan. Though Scorpion seemed to find solace, the sequel is shaking things up with fresh villains that have connections to his family’s history. Sanada is buzzing about the blend of old and new faces, assuring fans that this sequel is set to entertain.

Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid is back at the helm for the sequel Mortal Kombat 2, which recently wrapped production after a bumpy ride through the year of the strikes. This film will be bringing popular video game character Johnny Cage to the screen, with Karl Urban of Dredd, Star Trek, and The Boys taking on the role. Despite Urban’s established awesomeness, he was an unexpected choice for Johnny Cage, and there are some fans who have let it be known that they would have chosen someone else to play the part. We’ll have to wait and see how it turned out, but one thing we know right now is that Urban had a great time working on the movie, calling it “most action packed fun I’ve ever had on a film!”

Karl Urban marked the end of filming on Simon McQuoid‘s upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 on his Instagram, calling it “the most action packed fun I’ve ever had” on a film. Urban, who plays Johnny Cage in the follow-up to the 2021 film, also took the opportunity to show himself sans beard, which he’ll no doubt be growing back for The Boys, which will be returning for Season 4 later this year.
We’ve not seen a picture yet of Urban as everyone’s favourite action movie star, though MK2 producer Todd Garner had given us a peek of what to expect a few weeks back. Garner had taken to X last week to announce that filming had wrapped for the film, which according to Garner, won’t have a trailer out just yet.

Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid is back at the helm for the sequel Mortal Kombat 2, which started filming at the end of June last year… then had to shut down production when the Screen Actors Guild strike hit a couple weeks later. That strike came to an end in November, and filming resumed on Mortal Kombat 2 very soon after. Now filming has wrapped, and we know this because Max Huang, who plays Kung Lao in these movies, shared pictures from the wrap party! You can check them out at the bottom of this article, along with some images producer Todd Garner shared to social media during the production.

Twilight director says if there is a reboot, Jenna Ortega and Jacob Elordi would be “amazing” for it
The high school, vampire, love story may be over, but in an age of reboots, remakes and general continuation of franchises, if there is ever a reboot of the Twilight Saga, the original film’s director, Catherine Hardwicke, has already made her casting choices. The former stars of the Stephenie Meyer novel adaptation, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, have long been criticized for their performances in the Twilight films (even by Pattinson himself), but both have gone on to various film projects where they had gained the praise of critics for their performances.
Hardwicke recently appeared on the Watch-a-long podcast, where she shared who she feels would be amazing casting for both Bella and Edward should the movies get rebooted. According to Deadline, Hardwicke name-dropped Satlburn star Jacob Elordi for her choice as the new Edward Cullen, “I mean, he’s amazing. He probably would be Edward today.” She continued...
