The Mortal Kombat movie's Liu Kang is Power Ranger Ludi Lin High kick. News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 17 Aug 2019 20 comments Casting for the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie has gathered pace. Ludi Lin, who played Zack in the 2017 Power Rangers reboot as well as Murk in Aquaman, is Liu Kang. Lin, who also played Lance in that episode of Black Mirror that was about virtual reality sex and, improbably, Street Fighter, took to Twitter to say he's well up for playing Kang in the new Mortal Kombat movie, and tipped his hat to actor Robin Shou, who played Liu Kang in the wonderful 1995 Mortal Kombat movie. Much luv to all the MK fans button mashing that kept the series thriving. Respect to Robin Shou for portraying the OG LK. An unshakable source of pride for countless of us. Times are changing but the challenges keep coming. I'm so ready for the fight. #MORTALKOMBAT! #LiuKang- Ludi Lin (@ludi_lin) August 17, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
