During last week’s New York Comic Con, we were lucky enough to get the chance to chat with the creative team behind the latest Mortal Kombat Legends movie. Snow Blind finds the cocky and talented but undisciplined Kenshi refusing to take a knee when Kano, vicious and power-mad, becomes determined to take over Earthrealm. The film is available now on digital platforms as well as on disc.
In this first interview, Neil chats with actor Ron Yuan (MK11) about his role as Kuai Liang, aka Sub-Zero. The two discuss Yuan’s character as well as the legacy of the new three-decades old franchise.
You can watch their interview, in full, in the player below:
Make sure and come back later for Neil’s interview with the voice of Kira, Courtenay Taylor, and tune in tomorrow for our interviews with the film’s writer and director.
Manny Jacinto (Top Gun: Maverick, The Good Place) and David Wenham (Elvis, 300, The Lord of the Rings franchise) lead a terrific voice cast as Kenshi Takahashi and Kano, respectively. Returning from previous installments of the film series are Patrick Seitz (Mortal Kombat X, Aggretsuko, Naruto: Shippuden) as Scorpion, Artt Butler (Her, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) as Shang Tsung, and Debra Wilson (World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, MADtv) as Graji. And new to the Mortal Kombat Legends films is Ron Yuan (Mortal Kombat 11, Mulan) as Kuai Liang, Imari Williams (Transformers: Rescue Bots) as Tremor, Yuri Lowenthal (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe) as Kobra, Courtenay Taylor (Regular Show, OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes) as Kira, Keith Silverstein (Overwatch, Genshin Impact) as Kabal, Sumalee Montano (The Lost Symbol, Transformers Prime) as Kindra, and Lei Yin (Saint’s Row) as Peter & Sento.
Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind is produced and directed by Rick Morales (Mortal Kombat Legends franchise, Injustice) from a script by Jeremy Adams (Supernatural, Justice Society: World War II), who also penned the screenplays for the series’ first two films. All three films are based on the video game created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. Jim Krieg (Batman: Gotham by Gaslight) is Producer. Sam Register and NetherRealm Studios’ Ed Boon are Executive Producers.
