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.
