If Lewis Tan had his way, he’d be starring in the MCU, not a video game movie.
The star of the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot is sharing how it felt to lose out on the role of Shang-Chi but how it opened the door to be part of the Kombat world.

Debuting in 1973, Shang-Chi was created to take advantage of the martial arts craze sweeping America at the time. He was the son of the infamous criminal mastermind Fu Manchu who rebelled against his father to fight for justice.
