In Karate Kid: Legends Li Fong finds a new home in New York City with his mother, Dr. Fong (Ming-Na Wen), moving across continents from Beijing. Finding himself clashing with the local karate champion, he turns to his uncle Mr. Han for guidance, who enlists original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso. Merging both karate and kung-fu, the two trainers prepare Li Fong for the ultimate martial arts showdown, and behind Fong’s back is his new friend Mia (Sadie Stanley), retired boxer Victor (Joshua Jackson), and his SAT tutor Alan (Wyatt Oleff).

A worldwide search was on for the actor who will take on the mantle of Karate Kid for Karate Kid: Legends, and producer Karen Rosenfelt felt that Ben Wang was the perfect fit for the role. “It’s always like threading a needle when you're looking for the center of a film,” she says. “I couldn't be happier with Ben. He’s exactly what I saw in my mind. I think he’s the Marty McFly of our generation. He’s so talented—he performed most of his own stunts—and I think he’s got an amazing career ahead of him.”
