The newest star of the beloved franchise opens up about the surreal — and nerve-wracking — experience of working alongside two martial arts icons.

This story discusses major plot points, including the ending for "Karate Kid: Legends," currently playing in theaters. The most dramatic moment in "Karate Kids: Legends" is its final fight – a 12-minute sequence called the Five Boroughs Tournament that takes place on the roof of a New York City skyscraper.

Making the leap from the lead in Disney+'s American Born Chinese to Karate Kid: Legends, Wang has to deal not only with balancing teen drama with fight choreography, but also standing up to iconic martial arts movie stars, all while making a karate kid his own. He does all of this with an astonishing ease.
