He is widely recognized for his roles in action films such as Merantau (2009), The Raid (2011), and The Raid 2 (2014). Since the age of 10, Iko has been practicing pencak silat, a traditional Indonesian martial art, under the guidance of his grandfather, H. Achmad Bunawar, who was a silat master and founder of a silat school. In 2005, Iko won the national championship in the Silat Demonstration category. Iko's international career flourished with his role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) as Razoo Qin-Fee. He also starred in other Hollywood films such as Mile 22 (2018) and Stuber (2019). In 2019, Iko portrayed Kai Jin in the Netflix series Wu Assassins and reprised the role in its sequel film Fistful of Vengeance (2022). In his personal life, Iko married singer Audy Item on June 25, 2012. The couple has been blessed with two daughters, Atreya Syahla Putri Uwais and Aneska Layla Putri Uwais. Recently, Iko made headlines after a Japanese fan, Norihiro Matsuo, became emotional upon meeting him, highlighting Iko's global popularity. With his dedication and talent, Iko Uwais continues to make significant contributions to the action film industry, both in Indonesia and internationally.
This fan cast is for a fan-made, manga-styled Mortal Kombat shounen comic series that I want to make at some point. I aim to adapt the first four Mortal Kombat games at the very least. I want to base the characters' appearance on real actors (except for characters like Reptile and Baraka). One is because the series was based on martial arts movies like Enter the Dragon and Bloodsport. Two is because I thought it would be a cool throwback to how the sprites for the original game were created from photos of real people. You can suggest any actor you think might look the best for the character (Dead or Alive). You can also pick actors based on how they looked in their younger years as well. Also, you're not limited to only characters from the first 4 games and can suggest characters from the entire franchise. Have fun :)
