00:00很 rarely does your cast may call you and say hey congrats you got the job
00:06this is a war for the faith of your word i have some burning questions from the imdb
00:14team so
00:15let's see how many we can get through all right all right let's go let's talk a
00:17little bit about
00:18johnny cage because he is such a great character what's one aspect of playing this character that
00:23you wish you could actually bring into your real life when he believes in himself and transforms
00:28into johnny cage and the level of the skill set that he has i would love to be able
00:35to do that
00:35is there anything you admire about johnny cage of course i mean yeah it's good looks
00:42looks it's testing style where do we begin the bromance is real tell me you're not some
00:50crazy fans
00:52what type of special preparation did you need to get ready for the famous nut punch
01:01a lot of stretching yeah a lot of to be fair a lot of stretching uh maybe some injuries did
01:07occur
01:07maybe they didn't allegedly yeah ouch now this sequel centers on a large-scale battle for earth realm
01:17how does this level of threat raise the stakes for your characters in this sequel the stakes for the
01:22individual characters are raised in the second sequels everything's higher everything's heightened and
01:26now i think that the main threat is the big bosses they had shao khan and immediately when
01:31you see
01:32him you feel the menace and it could mean the end of the world for us i don't
01:38i don't have anything to
01:39add to that because that's that's all true that those both of those things are true and i
01:42i feel like
01:43it's a biography of what's happening in the world today so yeah yeah you both worked on chilling
01:48adventures
01:48of sabrina what was it like to reunite on this project the best thing in the world a
01:53gift like
01:55you could not ask for a better situation especially in a movie where we had to have such a strong
02:00emotional connection to enter that project with something so amazing and pre-existing was
02:05a dream yeah who texted whom first i did so yeah before she found out like and i couldn't
02:13hold it
02:13like i was texting i was like congratulations immortal comment oh my god and for reference
02:18usually the way it works is as an actor your team calls you and they let you know that you
02:23booked it
02:24very rarely does your cast may call you and say hey congrats you got the job so it was
02:31amazing so
02:32it was the best way to find out how did you get yourself pumped up for the action sequences in
02:38the movie
02:39lots of coffee well mine my day would normally start at midnight i'd wake up go to the gym
02:46in the hotel
02:46and then i'll be in the makeup chair anything from 2 a.m 3 a.m start so i
02:51'd already kind of done a day
02:52before we do a day so for me the the actual getting ready for the for the fight scene was
02:58important and
02:59music um visualization nutrition hydration and then just being around the energy of the film was was enough
03:07music visualization you visual the fight a day before at least you sleep on it right and now on a
03:13day
03:14good stretching and they get into the character it was also an added pressure just how many people
03:21are going to judge this and not just normal fans like absolutely yeah life dedicated to the franchise
03:29and they they know more than we did that's a good pressure pressure of that on your shoulders it
03:35gives you that it's a make or break yeah okay i in some it's not always not no
03:42i'm not like a lunatic
03:43but like sometimes like especially in the last fight with shao khan i would just really rile
03:50myself up
03:51room full of like however many people and just scream before action you know just like really
03:56get into and just like shout at him from my gut yeah and then wait and then action yeah i
04:02love it
04:02that's amazing yeah was he prepared for that it's martin martin's prepared for everything right
04:08for me
04:09i don't know it's music a lot of the time and then just a lot of jumping up
04:11and down like just like
04:14like psyching myself up physically yeah i walk around with weights yeah we had a we had a little
04:19more called that pump truck there's a truck full of weights and bands and there's all the b
04:23ts
04:23has made us holding weights yep doing this i bring music sometimes but like it's uh we're interf
04:29acing
04:29and interacting the whole time like we're making jokes yeah we're just hanging out like a family
04:33how do you get yourself pumped up for an action sequence in this movie uh peptides
04:40i um no coffee cigarettes maybe a shot of tequila yeah old school no look i mean
04:48yeah i shout out to the stunt performers because they are ridiculously talented but having said
04:54that uh you know some of the cast namely joe taslam and ludy and max and le
05:01wis like these guys are
05:02actual fighters like they don't have to have stunt guys come in and you know karl did a
05:07load of his own
05:08stuff i don't do too much of that in this film but i do what i can i mean
05:13i think what's fun about this
05:15job is like every time you get a challenge it's like i'll try i'll do i'll
05:18do my best but then
05:19at some point the director goes your best sucks and we're gonna get at this stunt guy to do
05:24it real
05:24good but you train months for this right like months yeah yeah months and months and not as part of
05:29my
05:29approach to it i actually went to martial arts tournaments and just to absorb the culture and just
05:34to see families and and kids when they would win or lose a tournament how they interacted as part of
05:39like imagining you know where johnny you know came from it was hands down the most challenging
05:45thing that i've ever done in my career it was terrifying but to me i think that's that
05:49's where
05:50the interesting comes in you know i'm an actor what's a special skill or hobby that fans may
