Lewis Tan on Mortal Kombat II "This Film Is So Much Bigger Than the First We Made This for the Fans"

Lewis Tan was back on the red carpet at the Mortal Kombat II UK Premiere at the BFI IMAX in London, returning as Cole Young — the one fighter in the franchise who exists entirely outside the video games. In a candid and energetic chat, Tan revealed how the team went back to the drawing board after the first film, why they let the fight team go completely loose on the sequel, and what it's like sharing a set with a man whose Brummie accent remains completely incomprehensible.

The film stars Karl Urban, Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Damon Herriman, Chin Han, Tadanobu Asano, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada; it was written by Jeremy Slater and directed by Simon McQuoid. Colin Hart and Ethan Hart ask the questions. Plot: The stakes have never been higher as Earthrealm's greatest fighters face the tyrannical conquest of Shao Kahn, whose quest for dominion threatens to shatter the realms forever. Hollywood hotshot Johnny Cage joins the fray alongside returning champions, in a no-holds-barred tournament where only the strongest will survive.
