‘Mortal Kombat’ Rehearsal Video Teases Liu Kang vs. Kabal Fight Sequence

Published

on

Actor Ludi Lin has shared a video from the set of Mortal Kombat in which he’s rehearsing for a fight sequence as Liu Kang.

Followers quickly noted that he appears to be practicing for a battle against Kabal, which is suggested by the duel hook swords. A quick check to IMDb did not reveal any casting for Kabal, so this should be a nice surprise if proven true.

The ensemble cast also includes Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Chin Han as Shang Tsun, Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, stuntwoman Elissa Cadwell as Nitara, and Sisi Stringer as Mileena. Lewis Tan (Wu Assassins) is playing an unknown leading character.

Greg Russo wrote the script, with Simon McQuoid directing and James Wan producing. We’ve been promised a rated “R” adaptation of the video games that will most definitely feature Fatalities.

The fight will begin on January 15, 2021.
