Leigh Whannell, director of the upcoming Wolf Man, has spoken to NME about an online backlash that followed an alleged ‘reveal’ of the creature’s appearance.According to an intriguing Karate Kid: Legends theory, the franchise might have already answered how Jack Chan's Mr. Han and Pat Morita's Mr. Miyagi are connected. Karate Kid: Legends' trailer is finally out and it seems to be the perfect follow-up to Netflix's Cobra Kai. While the two installments of the franchise only seem to have a few loose connective threads, with one of them being Ralph Macchio's Daniel LaRusso, the movie perfectly sells itself as a worthy addition to the overarching Karate Kid franchise by featuring LaRusso and Mr. Han in the same frame.
Blumhouse Productions’ loose remake of the 1941 Universal Studios horror classic The Wolf Man is not due until January and trailers have not revealed the werewolf’s full appearance. However, in September, Orlando’s Universal Theme Park Florida hosted a Halloween Horror Night that featured a photo opportunity with branding for the new movie.With two worlds colliding in the new movie, it is not surprising that it is trying to draw subtle connections with the original Karate Kid movies. However, despite this, one of the most fascinating moments in Karate Kid: Legends' trailer is when Daniel LaRusso discovers that Mr. Han knew Mr. Miyagi. Although the trailer does not delve too deep into exploring the connection between the two characters, a theory seems to reveal the hidden link between Han and Miyagi.
This included an actor, apparently intended to portray the Wolf Man, with outlandish makeup, white hair and torn clothes. Fans were quick to mock the ‘reveal’ on X, casting doubt on the film itself. “That’s not The Wolf Man,” wrote one user. “That’s your insane grandpa who transformed into a werewolf and broke out of the retirement home.”Although often touted as one of the best installments in the franchise, and rightfully so, the first Karate Kid movie presents Mr. Miyagi as an enigmatic sensei who rescues Daniel LaRusso and helps him turn his life around. It reveals little about Miyagi's past and where he comes from. The Karate Kid Part II, however, explores more details about Mr. Miyagi's ancestry, explaining how Miyagi-do was first created. The movie features a sequence in which Mr. Miyagi recalls how his ancestor, Shimpo Miyagi, got drunk on sake during one of his fishing adventures in 1625.
Another commented: “Oof, that doesn’t look good… more so just the design, if that’s what it’s going to look like in the movie then I’m officially worried about the movie now.” In October, Whannell reassured fans at New York Comic Con that this was no reflection on the actual film, while the Wolf Man branding was quietly removed from the theme park.As a result, Shimpo's boat drifted to China's coast, leading him to live in the South Asian nation for the next decade. 10 years after he landed in China, Shimpo returned home with a Chinese wife and two kids. In the first Karate Kid film, Mr. Miyagi mentions that Chinese tea helped his ancestor create the Miyagi-do karate style. This implies that Miyagi-do karate's roots are deeply influenced by Chinese traditions. Since Mr. Han's narrative in the 2010 Karate Kid reboot unfolds entirely in China, it is hard not to believe that Mr. Miyagi's ancestors could somehow be connected to Mr. Han's.

If this holds true, Mr. Miyagi and Mr. Han would be distant relatives. Another possibility is that Shimpo Miyagi studied Chinese martial arts under Mr. Han's ancestors during his stay in China. While the ancestors passed their knowledge to newer generations in China, Shimpo took his lessons to Okinawa to start Miyagi-do karate. This connection between Han and Miyagi would mean they share the same martial arts heritage.
