Mortal Kombat

Pretty Much Excited About The Movie. It's gonna be a great to see all the characters in a movie

Shang Tsung and Scorpion have been found...

Interesting. If I had to guess, that means Lewis Tan might be Kung Lao.

No Tagawa as Shang Tsung? R.I.P. Seemed doubtful after seeing who else had been cast. Also, Mileena is darker skinned now? Should've just had the one they cast play Jade then.

Was about to edit in my last post but ran out of time (stupid that's still even a thing), but at least they got someone actually Japanese to play Scorpion, though of course they don't care for the other characters' nationalities as much.

Welcome back, riv of rivia.

I'm starting to worry that Johnny Cage hasn't been cast.

Has Raiden been cast?

Gotta say, I digged Lambert's performance in the original film...

Yeah, he was cast:

More worried that Cage might not get a good casting choice than whether or not he will be cast at all.

True... they can always include him in a sequel, even though he's supposed to be a part of MK since the very beginning.

I feel like Cage serves the role of a kind of... He's the stand-in for the audience in a way. He's surrounded by Shaolin Monks with mystical powers, super-powered ninjas, special forces veterans and lord knows what else, and Cage is just a guy that's really, really, really good at karate.

Obviously he has powers of his own, but he's the most likely character to call attention to the most ludicrous shit going on.

Plus, he's the funny one.

Yeah, he's the most down to earth character. Newer games have shown it well. And so has the original film.

Goro needs some good CGI, if he's gonna be in it...

Not only that, but Johnny Cage for the most part, has always been one of the only characters with a personality, while the rest were just archetypes.

Agree with everything you said, although the Goro puppet had the distracting problem of one set of arms attaching through the stomach, didn't seem right at all.

It's a little thing, but you see it, and just instinctively know something isn't quite right.

I won’t say “ if Johnny Cage in this movie I won’t bother watching it”, but, I will be disappointed. He was such a big part of the first movie and really rounded out the ensemble.
I never even really played him in the arcades, but he became a favorite after watching the movie.

That Scorpion fight was so metal, I could hear Kill Them All playing.
