Cobra Kai And Karate Kid Are Coming To Theaters--Watch The New Trailer

After several teasers, the first full trailer for the upcoming YouTube Red series Cobra Kai has arrived. With the trailer comes news that you'll actually be able to watch the new series in theaters, paired with a screening of Karate Kid.

The one-night-only event takes place on April 25, a week before the YouTube Red original show debuts online. In addition to the film, fans will see the first two episodes of Cobra Kai. Tickets will be available on March 23 through Fathom Events.

As for the trailer, it paints a much better picture of just who the hero and villain are in this revival. While Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) may have been the good fighting against the evil Cobra Kai dojo in the original movie, it seems as though tables have turned.

While former Cobra Kai student Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) is a flawed hero at best, the Cobra Kai trailer shows him to be teaching teenagers to stand up for themselves. Of course, he does it by teaching them to punch and kick their problems away after roughing up a group of much younger bullies, so perhaps he'd be best described as an antihero.

Still, it's impossible not to see Daniel as the villain in this particular trailer. He's turned the lessons he learned from Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) into shenanigans for his car dealership commercials. When Miyagi was teaching his student to wax on and wax off, chances are he didn't expect the young man to use his skills to karate shop prices, while yelling "bonsai."

Naturally, the roles could certainly switch on the series. After all, the trailer clearly teases one final showdown between Daniel and Johnny. The question is who you'll be cheering on when the time comes. Surely, nobody wants to boo Daniel. Given the judgmental man he's grown up to become, though, you might not have a choice.

If you can't see Cobra Kai during its special screening event in theaters, you won't have to wait much longer. The 10-episode first season premieres on YouTube Red on May 2.
