It doesn't go into detail about his role other than that.

And because it only cuts and pastes parts of the interview, there's no source for the full interview. That's terrible journalism. I suggest people find the original interview before assuming what's being reported as true.

Here is the original interview, nothing is taken out of context. He clearly says that the created a new character of Cole Young to serve as the audiences eyes into the world of Mortal Kombat, as he felt weird having a white male as the lead.

Sorry but that is clearly racist, had he said Jax wasn't going to be in the film as he felt weird having a black male as the lead, then the internet would be on fire from the twitter mob demanding his head on a spike.
