so their not going to use any of the shitton other cast they could pull from
just the same eight tired rehashes? minus johnny cage who they basically just renamed

The studio is castinh actors who are already skilled fighters. Joe Taslim is set to play Sub-Zero and Joel Edgerton is reportedly being eyed for Kano.

Google "Mortal Kombat: A Forced Hero" and "Mortal Kombat: A Forgotten Hero" if you're into Mileena

Is cole turner suppose to be Johnny cage?

what ever happened to that grimdark reboot a few years back
was going to be turned into a series but just kind of dissapeared
all i can remember about it is raiden being in an insane asylum and liu kang joining shangs team

Scott Adkins - Kano or Johnny Cage
Amy Johnston - Sonya Blade
Michael Jai White - Jax

Wait, Cole Sprouse is Johnny Cage?

He's an OC.

At least the important things stay the same

Original character.

The plot seems to be that Jax recruits Cole and Sonya to go undercover in Mortal Kombat to get Kano, they realize it's not just an underground bloodsport competition and some genuinely supernatural shit is going on, and have to join forces with Liu Kang and Kung Lao to defeat Kano, Mileena, Sub-Zero and Shang Tsung. No Scorpion and no Johnny Cage in this one.

Also, Raiden in older drafts was a 12-year-old boy, but it seems they've defaulted back to an old dude with lightning powers.

But why though? If they want a father daughter duo just give it to Jax and if they don't want Johnny just give the mysterious bullshit bloodline powers to Sonya. No one wants anymore OC characters when there's a massive roster to choose from.

whats the over under on him being black?
id say at least eighty percent

You already have Jax for that. Turner will be replacing Johnny Cage as the designated white guy.

>Also, Raiden in older drafts was a 12-year-old boy, but it seems they've defaulted back to an old dude with lightning powers.

of course they did. as with every garbage reboot they need a recognizable figure for their social justice-flavored fanfic to hitchhike on. it's a business after all.

So it’s going to be a guarantee FLOP at the box office

How the fuck is that not just the first MK movie

no
jax is taking the gruff police sergeant role
im betting cole will be as black as coal
or at least hispanic

WHERE’S RAIN AT?!

Tell me what's SJW about this movie so far.

boiden fighting mileena. shad would have a field day

cant you just feel the audience tense with excitement and throw up their basedmilksa and butter free popcorn as they get a mid credits scene of a hollywood type guy walking through a backstage area and suddenly hear from offscreen "get over here"

we don't have much to work with yet, but wait for more info to leak. you know I'm right.

This post is a second shoah. Your antisemitism is appalling, goy. Oy gevalt, just reading it sears my retinas. Just pay to see the movie you big dumb ape.

It was an old draft actually.

Why the fuck would anyone write in an OC character for Mortal Kombat? There's been a million and one earthrealm fish-out-of-water types you could use, while still banking some nostalgia points.

>based Johnny Cage not listed
This has flop written all over it.

I know you should go back to /pol/.

This version of the script was re-written a dozen times and then thrown out you fucking idiot. That's why your article is dated March. This is a worthless thread with outdated false information.

Cole Turner is still the main character, though, and most if not all of this cast is still being used.

>No Johnny Cage or Scorpion
>making the main character som shitty OC with daughter (didn’t even use Jax)

Why is Hollywood so dumb?

Mortal Kombat Legacy.
A series made by Machinima that is now dead.

thats sad i remember it being pretty good. very grounded and gritty take on the mythos

how many times are you goung yo make this thread you pathetic faggot?

Shut the fuck up kid.

Well that sucks.
Johnny Cage was one of the best things about the original movie.

who will based iko play? he pretty much has to be in it

Liu Kang or Kung Lao.

Does Joel Edgerton have fighting skills? I’ve never heard of this guy ever being very stunt focused

Pic related is buff AND knows how to stunt, he should be Jax

They need bring in Scott Adkins and Michaelin Jai White

Great more blacks.

He's not on Taslim's level but is a solid karate/MMA fighter.

What the fuck is this garbage?

>no Johnny Cage
What the fuck

He did a lot of training for Warrior

No Johnny? No thank you

They need to bring in people who can act in addition to being good martial artist

Mileena but no Kitana? What kind of retarded bullshit is that? Wouldn’t they have to at least mention Kitana since her dna was used to create her to begin with

They’re saving Scorpion, Kitana, Shao Kahn, Reptile, Johnny Cage (basically the cash cow characters) for the sequel

Makes sense but it’s still odd which ones are used instead. How does mileena make any sense without referencing kitana. Sub zero in the same movie with no scorpion? Entire movie sounds odd

why the fuck is the nature boy wearing two watches lol

Sounds incredibly fucking stupid

Just making sure he's right on time.

Where is best boy? Have they removed him because of (((toxic masculinity)))?

I always used to fap to the buff asian guy in original MK movie

my fetish is buff asian guys

>>COLE TURNER
I know I've been on this site too long when my brain read that as "coal burner".

Bi Han or Kuei Liang sub zero? These are important distinctions OP

sequel bait

>have all these characters and lore and your disposal
>make some bullshit original character nobody cares about
This sounds like if Paul WS Anderson was tasked with making Mortal Kombat today instead of 1995.

It has to be Bi Han if the SubZero in the movie is a villain

He still looks good 20 years later

I think they go with the BI Han, then if the movie isn't dead on arrival at the box office they will go the marvel route. Turn Han into Saibot then get Kuai to take over as Sub-Zero

I think that they gonna show sub zero (bi han=the first sub zero/noob Saibot) killing scorpion at the beginning of the movie, and later in a mid credits scene show scorpion coming back from hell for the sequel

I read somewhere that Cole Turner gets killed and basically becomes Scorpion in the end.

Also Jessica Henwick would be perfect for Kitana.

best choice for Jax and Kano
Also Michael Jai White should be Green Lantern

yup and you nailed it, his daughter will save all the good guys with an epic fatality this is gonna be the end of phase 3 and into phase 4 mcu tier.
MArveletes take notes

He's confirmed

>Also Michael Jai White should be Green Lantern

He's too old.

>Often the hero in his native Australia, Edgerton has had a run of villainous roles in Hollywood. And this particular role should be no physical feat for Edgerton, who earned a black belt in Shotokan karate in his teens. He also spent eight hours a day in the gym, learning boxing, weightlifting and ju-jitsu in order to prepare for his role in Warrior alongside Tom Hardy. Another nice incentive for Edgerton in playing Kano is getting to use his native Australian accent, considering we’ve mostly seen him using an American one for his parts.

Bomb Hollywood

>let’s save most of our favorites for the sequel!!!

That implies there is going to be a sequel.

These retarded Hollywood execs are expecting this movie to get a billion dollars.

When in reality they are probably going to lose money and get a rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes.

And all because they wasted their first movie on a shitty OC as the main character.

Bravo. Just Bravo.

That is fucking stupid.

Cary is like 90 years old by now, jesus christ.

MORTAL WOMBAT

Cole is suppose to be Scorpion. Wish I was making this shit up.

At least the movie will be rated R.

I wonder if the characters are actually gonna die in the combats or not
I think they did that in the youtube series?

Why wouldnt you just kill yourself? You should kill yourself.

Kitana killed Mileena, Kenshi killed Ermac, and Scorpion killed Sub-Zero.
