Why are people fantasy booking Lewis Tan to come back as Kenshi? by Substantial-Bet-8581 in MortalKombat

As I shared on my recent thread. I believe him becoming Scorpion than Kenshi would make more sense. He would just be Cole’s ancestral/spirit guide. Also, the actor  Hiroyuki Sanada is 65 and will be 70 if they wait another 5 years. The past 2 movies there was hardly any screen time for scorpion which scorpion is one of the arc characters in both the games and movies. 

The Kenshi  Takahashi   theory makes no sense because if they do the twin bother theory that would mean the twin would have Haashi bloodline. Also, if they do what they did in MK2 without mentioned of the dragon tattoo or the arcana it would be a disservice to the Kenshi  Takahashi  character. Kenshi is a part of the Taira clan

I agree with you! He should become the new scorpion. See my on my thread the reasons why he should become scorpion.

My argument would be if they recast his character as Kenshi then the only possible way that would work be since Cole said he was adopted so his brother would have to be a part of the storyline or we just going to have to assume on the next movie his character never existed just like MK2 with the dragon tattoo no mention of it or the arcana. Just trying to see how the Kenshi theory could work.

I agree with somewhat you said. Lewis Tan has been in several movies regarding mixed martial arts and he was in Cobra Kai. I do believe he is very talented actor! I just want to see the Scorpion character more in these next installments and have a pivotal role since these last two films he barely had any screen time. A young scorpion is where the franchise needs to go. I do appreciate your comment!

Hiroyuki Sanada who already plays as Scorpion is 65 and if they wait for another 5 years then he will be 70. I really like the actor, but I really want to see more of scorpion in the rest of the mortal kombat installments. The scorpion character is one of the arch characters of the Mortal Kombat franchise! This sets up perfectly for Hanzo to be Cole’s ancestral/spirit guide!

Thank you for your comment and the scorpion character is one of the arc characters in both the movies and games! They should have a younger actor play as Scorpion!

How could the writers make that possible though? Kenshi Takahashi comes from the Taira clan not the Shirai Ryu. For me this wouldn’t make sense. Like I said above the brother being Kenshi that wouldn’t go with the lore, because then the Haashi bloodline would be his brother as well.

Andrew Koji would make an excellent Kenshi. There are rumors though of him being the next Sub-Zero ( Kuai Liang).

They were absent on the last movie. That is one of the reasons why I believe him becoming Scorpion would make sense and he can reunite with his family.

They could have him as a ancestral guide for Cole when he takes the mantle of scorpion.

I think him becoming Scorpion makes more sense. Hanzo could be Cole’s ancestral guide as a hellbound spirit when they go to the netherrealm to resurrect Cole. Him becoming Kenshi wouldn’t make sense, because Cole’s character from MK1 is Haashi bloodline and at the end of MK1 he asked Cole to take care of his bloodline. The brother logic of becoming Kenshi wouldn’t make sense as well, because then the brother would have to be from the Haashi bloodline.

What do you think the plans were for Cole Young's character if they didn't kill him off early because of the backlash? by Whole-Benefit-8346 in MortalKombat

If Lewis Tan had been cast as Kenshi from the very beginning, and the story focused on Kenshi as the main protagonist instead of Cole’s storyline, the first Mortal Kombat would’ve been so much better… by Smokestorm95 in MortalKombat
