HILARY SWANK WAS ALMOST IN COBRA KAI?! 😱

What’s up, Geekly Goods fam? 👋🔥
Another big Cobra Kai “what if” just dropped at CinemaCon 2025! 🎬 In a red carpet interview with CinePOP, Ralph Macchio revealed that Hilary Swank, who played Julie Pierce in The Next Karate Kid, was very close to appearing in Cobra Kai! 😳

While Swank’s return has been teased and speculated for years, this is the first time we’re hearing directly from Macchio that the creators were seriously exploring ways to bring her into the mix. So why didn’t it happen? And could it still?

With Cobra Kai wrapping up and Karate Kid: Legends on the way, fans are wondering: is Julie Pierce being saved for the big screen? This just adds fuel to the fire that her time in the Miyagi-verse isn’t over yet!
