Sean Kanan plays Mike Barnes in the Karate Kid universe, and after appearing in Cobra Kai, he says he has a plan for a spinoff.
During an interview with Mind Blowing Films, he said he would like to be paired with his costar Yuji Okumoto, who plays Chozen, for a buddy comedy where they “teaching karate by day and working as detectives by night,” which he thinks would be “a lot of fun.”
“I think it would be incredible, I’d love to do that. I thought it’d be kind of funny if you had Chozen and Mike Barnes as roommates together, and Mike Barnes is really clean, and Chozen’s like a mess and a slob,” he said.
The actor continued, “And they’re two guys that are trying to navigate the dating scene at 50 years old. Maybe they’re teaching karate by day and working as detectives by night.”
“I think it would be a lot of fun to do any kind of spinoff. I’d be incredibly honored and excited for something like that. Who knows?” Sean concluded.
