Cobra Kai has been very good at bringing together the stars of the four Karate Kid films. Only one double Oscar winner has made a name for herself so far and has also not officially announced for the final season: Hilary Swank.

Swank’s character Julie Pierce trained under Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) in the Daniel-less 1994 sequel. It was the actress’ first leading role in a film.
