Daniel talking to Sam in Cobra Kai season 3
Although Cobra Kai uses a blend of new characters and existing stars from the larger Karate Kid franchise, some of the show's most exciting moments are when familiar faces return decades later, but there's one actor who has yet to come back and has perhaps always been unlikely to. To put it another way, some of the best Cobra Kai characters were also prominent Karate Kid figures in the original trilogy of movies.
Hilary Swank's Julie Pierce Has Never Interacted With Any Cobra Kai Character Julie's franchise comeback could be a little underwhelming 1994's The Next Karate Kid was the first franchise installment not to feature Ralph Macchio's Daniel LaRusso. Instead, Pat Morita's Mr. Miyagi served as sensei to Hilary Swank's Julie Pierce. The movie is a soft reboot of the movie series, despite also being a sequel.
Despite Daniel and Mr. Miyagi briefly going their separate ways for The Next Karate Kid, certain context clues in Cobra Kai confirm an eventual reunion between the two, with Daniel's mentor and father figure forming a bond with not just Amanda, but also the next generation of the LaRusso family. It's possible that Mr. Miyagi told the LaRussos about Julie during his later years, but they never actually met.
Although The Next Karate Kid feels isolated from the original movies, it still exists within the same canon. So, Swank's character is included under the"Miyagi-verse" umbrella. Interestingly, now that Jackie Chan's 2010 Karate Kid remake has been folded into the franchise's main continuity, the Cobra Kai showrunners could also be referencing characters like Chan's Mr. Han or even Jaden Smith's Dre Parker.
