According to Variety, Ludi Lin who played Captain Murk in Aquaman and Zack in Power Rangers (2017) is in talks to play Liu Kang in the Mortal Kombat reboot.

It is slated for a March 2021 release date. Unlike the 1990s series of Mortal Kombat movies, it will be a hard R-Rating and include the fatalities the series is known for. New Line has yet to comment.
