Cobra Kai
Warning : Spoilers ahead forCobra Kaiseason 6 , part 2!Hilary Swank made her enfranchisement debut in 1994’sThe Next Karate Kidas Julie Pierce , and despite spending the movie as the title type , she has yet to link her fellowKarate Kidalums inCobra Kai . Instead , an incredibly minor star from the original trilogy has handle to pull off a franchise comeback before Swank . As such , Julie is still the biggestKarate Kidcharacter yet to seem in Netflix ’s bequest spinoff show , and another cameo perhaps makes it even less probable to happen whenCobra Kaiseason 6 concludes on February 13 , 2025 .
Ofall theKarate Kidmovies , Swank ’s lone installment is the most maligned . It bomb at the box situation and currently has an embarrassing rating of just 7 % on Rotten Tomatoes . However , the questionable quality of the otherKarate Kidmovies has n’t prevented other bequest actors from coming back to recapitulate their roles . Plus , Swank went on to have a not bad vocation afterThe Next Karate Kid , so her star power would be a keen increase to the show . As such , there were still those who expected to see her as part ofCobra Kaiseason 6 , part 2 ’s cast .
The Karate Kid Part III’s Dennis De Guzman Somehow Got His Franchise Comeback Before Hilary Swank
De Guzman appeared very briefly in the third Karate Kid movie
If Julie is get to show up inCobra Kai , metre is rapidly running out for her to do so . By theend ofCobra Kaiseason 6 , part 2 , she has yet to appear , and there are just five more instalment left to airwave in 2025 before the show is done for good . Despite such a rigorous deadline , theCobra Kaiwriters do n’t seem too concerned with bring Swank backto the franchise . or else , the show choose for the getting even ofWilliam Christopher Ford ’s Dennis De Guzman .
Cobra Kai ’s Axel Axel Kovačević has already proven himself to be a formidable fighter , putting his main romanticistic rival in majuscule danger .
Given the gulf in significance between the two role , it becomes even more confusing why Ford was invited to render in advance of Swank . De Guzman - sleep with plainly as " Dennis " in 1989’sThe Karate Kid Part III- was given very fiddling to do when he made his enfranchisement debut , and the same is true of his role inCobra Kai . Althoughhe does get to engage in an exciting expression - off with Ralph Macchio ’s Daniel LaRussofor the first time in decades , Ford ’s lines are non - existent , and his screen sentence is very sparse - making his return over Swank even more puzzling .
Mr. Miyagi’s Shock Return Strengthens The Argument That Julie Won’t Appear In Cobra Kai Season 6
Cobra Kai season 6 found a way to bring back Pat Morita’s iconic character
There is , of course , still time for Julie to show up inCobra Kai ’s last time of year . Unfortunately , the recent payoff of another hugeKarate Kidmakes Swank showing her aspect far less likely . Due to Pat Morita ’s death in 2005,no one would have expected Mr. Miyagi to show up in the Netflix show . Surprisingly , Daniel ’s belated sensei did make a brief cameo in " Eunjangdo . " As shockingly bright as Daniel vs. Mr. Miyagi inCobra Kaiwas , it also ticked another loge in terms of debuts - per - season .
Although De Guzman may only have been a bit player during his first time out , that does n’t change the fact he jibe into the same category as public figure like Thomas Ian Griffith ’s Terry Silver and Sean Kanan ’s Mike Barnes .
The show has long spaced out the re - foundation of itsKarate Kidlegacy characters . Although De Guzman may only have been a second player during his first prison term out , that does n’t change the fact he fit into the same class as figures like Thomas Ian Griffith ’s Terry Silver and Sean Kanan ’s Mike Barnes . So , geminate with Miyagi ’s return key from out of nowhere inCobra Kai- a role shared by Brian Takahashi and a Morita deepfake , the show ’s last time of year could be a little too stacked with comeback , which could trouble from theSekai Taikai plot line and Kwon ’s demise .
