Thread: Mortal Kombat- If i could choose the casting

So yea, i used to play this a lot back in the day and although there have been some decent moments in the cinema regarding the franchise there really hasnt been a "great" movie based off of it. However, recently there was a interent series that made it darker and more gorrific. And supposedly there is a movie coming out soon based on that (crosses fingers).

But, i posted this on another forum i frequent and made up a short list of characters/actors i would like to see play those characters. Just something i did for fun so no truth to what i post here, just wishful thinking.

Raiden- Donnie Yen (Ip Man)


Johnny Cage- Scott Adkins (X-Men: Wolverine)


Kung Lao- Tony Jaa (Ong Bak)


Liu Kang- John Foo (Batman Begins)


Kitana- Maggie Q (Live Free or Die Hard)


Jax- Wesley Snipes (Blade)


Mileena- Devon Aoki (Sin City)


Shang Tsung- Andy On (The Lost Bladesman)


Kano- Ray Park (G.I. Joe)


Stryker- Jason Statham (Transporter)


Sonya Blade- Laura Niles (Tai Chi Warriors)


Noob Saibot- Joey Ansah (The Bourne Ultimatum)


Jade- Kristin Kreuk (Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li)


Kenshi- Lee Byung Hun (G.I. Joe)

I concur with most of your choices. I just can't see Snipes as Jax. Especially since Jax seems to be such a secondary character in the series.

Have you played the latest incarnation in the series?

Not yet, i plan to get the Konquest version soon though. Im also interested in the MK vs DC version but have not seen either in terms of play ability or graphics. From the stills ive seen of Konquest it looks awesome.

MK vs DC is pretty solid. I got good enough with the Green Lantern in that version.

The latest one brought back the feel of MK3 for me, and the story mode was well done.

Devon Aoki and Laura Niles are delicious.

I forgot about Tobias Boon.


Mortal Kombat had such cool little hidden things like that.

Ray Park as Kano is brilliant.
