Urban is still such a weird choice.

@Origame - AGREED! Joel McHale would’ve been a better choice even though he’s too old now.

@Origame - stephen amell would have been a good pick
Origame
Origame - 11/15/2023, 9:35 PM
@WruceBayne - what's weird is he's the same age as urban.

@Origame - He seems more like a Kano to me.

@Origame - it looks like they’re going for the washed up old actor angle with him.

There's a reason no one up-voted this comment. No he wouldn't have.
Origame
Origame - 11/16/2023, 4:31 AM
@videovac - he's literally already playing one of the most well received versions of cage.

@Origame - He was fantastic in Scorpion's Revenge! They kinda did his character dirty though in the other movies. I haven't even bothered to watch the new one that's a prequel to his MK story. It's looks like ass and I say that as a fan of the other movies even though each one has a noticeable decline in quality.

@videovac - but you cared enough to comment. Thanks. You can go sit back down now.

Let's see what Karl Urban brings to Johnny Cage.

Tati Gabrielle being here is cool too.

While I did get some enjoyment out of the first one , I do hope this is an improvement overall especially in regards to the fight scenes.

I am still not fully sold on Urban as Johnny Cage but the dude is a welcome presence in anything for me so i hope he proves me wrong!!.

Why didn't they cast some young bloke who is actually known as a cheesy action star? I dunno, Scott Adkins, maybe? Urban was known to be in B-movie schlock + he is in his 50 or some and has to dye his hair. But at least they didn't cast The Rock, cuz I'd [redacted] myself if they did.

HashTagSwagg - 11/15/2023, 9:23 PM
@URCOMMENTSUCKS - Urban's only 4 years older than Adkins and although Adkins could do the action stuff, Urban's the better actor and a better fit for the humour side.
Timerider
Timerider - 11/16/2023, 4:26 AM
@URCOMMENTSUCKS - The Rock should play Baraka honestly.
WarMonkey
WarMonkey - 11/16/2023, 8:17 AM
@URCOMMENTSUCKS - I love Urban, I'm one of his biggest fans and have been for like 20 plus years, but I don't like this casting. I'm sick of watching actors with no fight experience playing as fighters in fight movies. I don't want to watch anymore directing and editing tricks like frantic quick-cuts because the actor can't actually throw a kick or look like a real fighter on their own.

This shit scarred me as a kid, it was only years later that I realised it was a different actor.

@HashTagSwagg - JOHN-KNEE!!!!

Glad Urban is involved, but damn I would have loved to have seen him play Kano in the last film.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 11/15/2023, 9:22 PM
@ModHaterSLADE - he would have been a good Kano but I thought Josh Lawson was the best part of that movie.
WaffeX
WaffeX - 11/15/2023, 10:41 PM
@TheVisionary25 - Can't believe that Kano was played by this guy of "House of Lies"
ModHaterSLADE
ModHaterSLADE - 11/15/2023, 11:53 PM
@TheVisionary25 - Easily
Ryguy88
Ryguy88 - 11/16/2023, 7:57 AM
@ModHaterSLADE - the guy they got for Kano was good
WarMonkey
WarMonkey - 11/16/2023, 8:19 AM
@Ryguy88 - He was great, he was defiantly the best part of the movie.

Slater writing means it could be better than first.
dracula
dracula - 11/15/2023, 9:33 PM
Really dont see him as a Johnny Cage

He seems more like a Kano or Stryker or Kabol

Hmm I can't see all the comments.. who tf blocked me now lol

The first one was so bad that Ed Boon doesn't even acknowledge it.

@HashTagSwagg - The characters looking vaguely like the movie doesn't prove a point.

harryba11zack - 11/15/2023, 10:11 PM
@SirDuckAlot - Also where do you think kenshi got his good looks from?
HashTagSwagg
HashTagSwagg - 11/15/2023, 10:20 PM
@SirDuckAlot - Boon approved those looks and they are a clear inspiration. Sub-zero has been a jobber since Deadly alliance. This film made the OG a badass villain, so much so that the games ditched the good guy brother sub zero who had been a main stay for years and went back to the first and made him a villain just like the film. You may not like it but the film undoubtedly left a strong enough impression on the dev's.

@harryba11zack - I'm still pissed about them doing Kung lao dirty. He's always been one of my favorites and they keep disrespecting him in everything now, it's weird. They did a similar thing in the animated sequel to Scorpion's Revenge too.
HashTagSwagg
HashTagSwagg - 11/16/2023, 12:24 PM
@WarMonkey - He appears to be back for the sequel, could be a revenant or flash back but at least they are still doing something with him.
