Well, one of the things is that you’re in a solo environment. Kung Lao sees a lot of action in this movie, but how challenging is it to find that physicality when you’re in the recording booth? It was interesting talking to him about the nature and the arrogance and nobility of the character and then seeing where I would take it in the movie. Yeah, and he’s played in the video game by a wonderful actor and friend of mine, Sunil Malhotra. It must have been quite surreal playing a character here who is like a brother to Liu Kang and jumping between the two roles? Later that afternoon, I also had an audition for the live-action movie as Liu Kang again! It was like, ‘Is my life just Mortal Kombat at this point?’ ![]() ![]() The funniest thing for me was doing Liu Kang in the video game in the morning and then coming in in the afternoon to record Battle of the Realms as Kung Lao.

The actor also touches on some minor spoilers about how his character's story progresses, explaining the delight he took in watching how violent things often get in this upcoming animated adventure. Yesterday, we spoke to Matt about what it was like to make the leap from the games to Battle of the Realms, and he offered plenty of insight into the work that went into bringing Kung Lao to life. Actor Matt Yang King ( Riverdale) brings him to life in the movie and is definitely no stranger to this franchise after actually playing Liu Kang in the hit Mortal Kombat 11 video game.
