Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms is set to be released on August 31, and this week, we've been catching up with some of the film's cast. On Monday, we spoke to Bayardo De Murguia (Tiny Pretty Things) about his role as Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero, and expressed interest in returning to Warner Bros. Animation to join the DC Animated Universe.
As a result, we had to ask if there are any dream roles Bayardo has in mind. It just so happens that's something the actor has given some thought to, and there's one superhero he definitely has his eye on.
"Ohh...I mean, everyone always wants to be Batman [Laughs]," he initially responded. "You know what, for the future, because I’m Mexican-American, I’d take a swing at Kyle Rayner who is one of the Green Lanterns. He’s also Mexican-American, so I would say him. You haven’t seen much of him and I’d like to give it a shot one day!"
Just like in live-action, the Green Lantern Corps haven't really taken centre stage in animation for quite a few years now, and they're arguably long overdue for a movie of their own. If and when that does happen, it would be awesome to see Kyle take on a leading role (especially as it seems he's the only human Lantern not set to factor into the upcoming TV show and movie reboots).
We'll have to wait and see, but based on his work as Sub-Zero, we'd love to see Bayardo given the opportunity to put his spin on this character in a Green Lantern animated feature. Make sure to check back here on Saturday as that's when we'll be sharing our full interview with the actor.
Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms arrives August 31 on 4K/Blu-ray & Digital!
