An open casting call for the next instalment in the Karate Kid franchise has received a lot of attention, with it racking up 10K submissions in just one day. These submissions have come from across the globe from countries such as the UK, India, Sweden, and South Africa.
This is unsurprising really, as the successful applicant will be given the life changing opportunity to star alongside Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio in the upcoming film.
According to the website for the casting call, the team are looking for an actor aged 15-17 to portray Chinese or mixed-race Chinese. Filming will reportedly take place between March and June of 2024 and prior acting experience isn't essential.
Are you planning on auditioning?
Thanks, The Hollywood Reporter.
