Ming-Na Wen has played her share of badass characters, such as Mulan in Disney's animated adventure and the Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., so why wouldn't the actor want some action in KARATE KID LEGENDS with Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio? The actor reveals to CineMovie why she wanted to show off her fighting skills so badly.
KARATE KID: LEGENDS opens in movie theaters on May 30.
Synopsis
Karate Kid: Legends unites the iconic martial arts masters of one of the most beloved film franchises of all time to tell a completely new story full of action and heart. When kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) relocates to New York City with his mother to attend a prestigious new school, he finds solace in a new friendship with a classmate and her father. But his newfound peace is short-lived after he attracts unwanted attention from a formidable local karate champion. Driven by a desire to defend himself, Li embarks on a journey to enter the ultimate karate competition. Guided by the wisdom of his kung fu teacher, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), and the legendary Karate Kid, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Li merges their unique styles to prepare for an epic martial arts showdown.
