Cobra Kai
Summary
With all the intimate faces from the Miyagiverse that have joinedThe Karate Kidsequel serial over the years , the show ’s choice for unused characters have dwindled considerably . After all , it ’s already convey in the chief scoundrel of all three flick , plus all of Daniel ’s love interests . The instruction it ’s taken leave Julie Pierce as the bounteous character it had n’t included yet . However , Hilary Swank has since said that she has n’t been contactedand does n’t believe she will be in time of year 6 . While this does n’t rule out an show from her , it does point that the returning character is indeed someone else .
Dutch Is Now The Best Candidate For Cobra Kai Season 6’s Secret Returning Character
With Hilary Swank no longer the most executable choice forCobra Kaiseason 6 ’s bigKarate Kidcameo , it ’s worth return attention to some of the other character the show may have attempt to bring into the crimp . Arguably the next most relevant name not to be associated withCobra Kaithus far is Dutch . Played by Chad McQueen , Dutch was a member of Johhny Lawrence ’s crowd and the most strong-growing member of the group . As a secondary antagonist in the first ( and most famous ) Karate Kid movie , there ’s no one more important than Dutch that could replete the role promise by the showrunners ( if it ’s not Julie Pierce ) .
A Dutch cameo inCobra Kaiwas previously shot down due to Chad McQueen ’s busy docket as a race car machine driver and retirement from do , but it ’s of import to note that much clock time has passed since his return was last address . His girl , Madison McQueen , claimed he would n’t join the show in 2021 , but since this was three age ago , it ’s far from impossible that a cameo was worked out . The showrunners and actors involved with the show , such as Kreese player Martin Kove , have long extract an sake in bring Dutch onto the show , so a keep push to get him on board would make sense .
Cobra Kai Already Revealed Where Dutch Is (& Set Up His Return)
Though Dutch remains the biggest quality with a direct connection to Johnny and Daniel still missing fromCobra Kai , his whereabouts are just a secret . Cobra Kairevealed he was in a federal prison in the time of year 2 sequence that reunited Johnny with Tommy , Jimmy , and Bobby . Apparently , this detail was n’t just a throwaway denotation , but an intentional move on the part of the Lord meant to set up a possible return for the quality . Cobra Kaico - God Almighty Josh Heald say in 2019 that they wanted to make it clean that Dutch was alive and put him in " a particular place " in guinea pig McQueen could return later[viaEW . ]
In other words , Dutch ’s situation provides apparatus to a potential appearance inCobra Kaiseason 6 , rather than an obstacle . precisely how it would alleviate a cameo remain to be seen , though it ’s potential he ’ll get released from clink and look for out Johnny , Kreese , or even Bobby . Either way , the reveal thatCobra Kaipurposely laid the fundament for Dutch to enter the impression at some decimal point down the route gives further hope to a scenario where Dutch meets Johnny and Daniel again . By all indications , the only thing that may be brook in the fashion of Dutch showing up at this point would n’t be a creative issue , but histrion availability .
Who Else Could Be Cobra Kai’s Returning Karate Kid Character?
Aside from Julie , Dutch would be the most meaningful option for Cobra Kai ’s confirmedKarate Kidcharacter , but other choice are on the table in the event that neither McQueen or Swank follow back . The Karate Kidmovies are swapped with antagonists , though many of them are true minor player in the report with limited character development or name recognition . One - or perhaps two - of them could be be slate for a return . It would n’t be as a massive as a Julie Pierce or a Dutch appearance , butit ’s at least possible that Snake and Dennis make season 6 cameo .
Snake River and Dennis were ally to Mike Barnes inThe Karate Kid Part IIIwhen Sean Kanan ’s villain character was browbeat Daniel . Since Barnes has already been reintroduce into Daniel LaRusso ’s life , there ’s a chance it ’ll employ Snake and Dennis as well , particularly if it continuesMike Barnes ' story inCobra Kaiseason 6 . As for who else could look , The Next Karate Kid’smain villain , Colonel Dugan , could theoretically make an appearance , but using Julie ’s villain direction would only bring more aid to Swank ’s absence fromCobra Kai .
