He’s certainly not lacking in dedication, but Tan’s missive didn’t exactly provide any clues to the nature of his role. It’s been suggested that Tan might be playing Kung Lao in the reboot, but there are a number of other characters he’d be suitable for. It’s unclear why the studio has had no reservations about disclosing the other casting news while keeping Tan’s role a secret. Regardless, it seems likely that a relevant announcement will be made in the future.
