Two of theMKuniverse’ most notable roles, Thunder God Raiden and the chosen one himself, Liu Kang, will be portrayed respectively by Tadanobu Asano – best known as Hogun in Marvel’sThormovies – and Ludi Lin, who was the Black Ranger in 2017’sPower Rangersand Murk in 2018’sAquaman.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, New Line is pushing for a huge, eclectic cast of international stars, taken from TV, cinema and martial arts.Mortal Kombatwill begin shooting in Australia later this year, directed by Simon McQuaid and penned by Greg Russo. Musetta Vander is still working and still looks every bit the Queen of Edenia, so I’m hoping she’ll be getting a phone call real soon. Make it happen, New Line.
