Do you want real martial artists for Mortal Kombat 2013?

I wanted to be down to earth picking up martial artists for one or another character, because there is no chances to get Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen or Jet Li into MK

You probably have heard that WB bosses gave a green light to Kevin Tancharoen to film the next Mortal Kombat movie, which is going to be released in 2013. So I decided to make my list of martial artists, who can play characters in upcoming martial arts movie. I wanted to be down to earth picking up martial artists for one or another character, because there is no chances to get Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen or Jet Li into MK, moreover on my opinion it is a good opportunity for new martial artists to star and promote themselves in the film industry.

And, by the way, you are welcome to leave your comments below.

Among fighting choreographers I want to see: Larnell Stovall, Cyril Raffaelli, J.J. Perry, Jeff Imada, Roger Yuan, Chad Stahelski.

I'm not trying to be an ass but why are you guys picking multiple actors for your character picks? and some are using the same actor multiple times for characters in same cast? That just seems that you're not to sure of your pick or your trying to please everyone. You will never please everyone. I think this is better than the last few MK cast.

I like this article too.It would be cool if one of your Fancast actors were chosen for the movie,but I would like to see good actors AND martial artists portray the MK charakters.Why didn't you include Kevan Ohtsji as Sub-Zero? I thought he was awesome in Mortal Kombat Legacy.I'm just saying cuz I notice other actors from MK Legacy in your list.

No. Real actors make movies. Casting just martial artists doesn't usually work... ever. Cast the actors, and have the martial artists for the stunt doubles and lesser characters that need barely any acting experience.

I also agree with Kevin Ohjitsi being sub-zero in the movie. Sub-Zero has always been my favorite MK character and Kevin was the man in the series as Sub-Zero. I also think Ian Anthony Dale did a really good job as Scorpion in the series and i'd also like to see him in the movie. The other choices are okay like Mike Jai white as Jax and Tony Jaa as Liu Kang but other than that the choices are mediocre.

Nah, take a look at my list. I just recently updated mines and found the best casts of Martial artists and actresses. This guy blocked me on his website and on twitter because I was making some suggestions. He chose some really bad actors for Liu Kang: Tony Jaa, and Wu Jing? Really? They don't even know English at all, I mean Tony Jaa doesn't and Wu Jing, I've seen his interviews on youtube where he was getting a translator for him in Chinese. Come on now, choose better casts. And Gina Carano for Sonya BladE? What a joke, go with Katheryn Winnick. Gina isn't even a blonde. Plus Katheryn Winnick has a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, 2nd Degree Black belt in Karate, and a License Bodyguard. Gina doesn't have anything compared to Winnick. Mines is the best check it out here guys: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Hybridfury/news/?a=49164

CookieNinja69 and TheTruth187, I have Kevan Ohtsji as Sub-Zero(Bi-Han) who turns into Noob Saibot later on because he meets Scorpion in the tournament and dies, then he gets resurrected by Quan Chi as Noob Saibot. So yeah, he's inn my list btw, go check them out. This guy doesn't know how to cast. He was just jealous because I made a better cast of actors and actress than him.
