There was no description provided about what Shang Tsung is doing in the above picture, although the pose suggests he might generating some kind of energy.

Regardless, just like in the first Mortal Kombat game, Shang will have a key role in this latest film adaptation, as he’s the one who sends Joe Taslim’s Sub-Zero to attack Lewis Tan’s Cole Young, an original character created for the movie.
