Lewis Tan is an undisclosed character
Tan’s been tight-lipped as to who he is playing but posted a rather emotional and lengthy post on Instagram.
In the post, he thanked director Simon McQuoid, spoke about the beauty of Australia, called fellow cast members his family and shared a heartful story about his inspiration – his 15-year-old niece.
Tan previously turned down 3 films and 2 TV shows only to be rejected for a huge film until this lead role in Mortal Kombat showed up and changed his life.
Cladded in a black singlet and sweatpants, Tan’s pictures provided no hints whatsoever but when we think of a badass lead character that impacts the Mortal Kombat storyline greatly, we immediately think of Johnny Cage. Could it be? Well, who knows?

Mortal Kombat is rated “R” which means fans would certainly get to see a live adaptation of the beloved iconic Fatalities. Mortal Kombat is scheduled for release on March 5, 2021.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, for behind all this makeup, is a geek just like you. To simply put it, superheroes, Star Wars, Harry Potter and all things gore and creepy makes this girly girl swoon.
