Fan Cast: Mortal Kombat

Fan Cast: Mortal Kombat

A fan cast for a live action Mortal Kombat movie. Enjoy (:

So my Mortal Kombat Movie would be a tad different, but basically a similar layout to the first Mortal Kombat live action movie.

Rain as Liu Kang

Photobucket


He looks like him, can act pretty decent, and knows his martial arts. Kick ass in Ninja Assassin, and other than not being Chinese, he would be pretty spot on. For all you canon people, if you want a Chinese Liu Kang, my pick would be either Nicholas Tse or

Robin Shou as Raiden

Photobucket


I find that this would be an awesome tribute to the first Mortal Kombat movies. I’d like him and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shinook to have an opening credits fight scene.

Since we're on the subject...

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shinnok

Photobucket


It'd be a great tribute, as well as the fight scene between him and Shou. It’s a small role so yeah.

Ryan Reynolds as Johnny Cage

Photobucket


I find he can do smart ass well. He can do drama well. He can do fight scenes well. He can play an actor past his prime, a la The Nines. Just because people f**k his characters up in movies doesn't change the fact he is a phenomenal actor.

Abbie Cornish as Sonya Blade

Photobucket


She's hot. She can act. Watch Sucker Punch, I’m sure you'd agree with me on this choice that she’d play a great Sonya Blade.

Mekhi Phifer as Jax Briggs

Photobucket


I liked him in Torchwood: Miracle Day, so he can play the hard cop. Just bulk him up, he'll be fine as Jax.

Donnie Yen as Kung Lao

Photobucket


It's Donnie [frick]in Yen. Put a hat on him and BOOM! Kung Lao. I want Kung Lao to be an Earthrealm fighter that chose not to fight, and instead fled and has been roaming the Outworld with Kabal ever since.

Jai Courtney as Stryker

Photobucket


I want Stryker to be in a short 5 min scene describing when Kabal, Stryker, Kung Lao, and Night Wolf were chosen as warriors for the Earthrealm. They were didn't want to fight and fled. They were tracked down by one of Shao Kahns extermination squads and Stryker was killed, and Kabal was burned while fending them off for Kung Lao and Night Wolf to escape.

Joseph Fiennes as Kabal

Photobucket


He'd look regular only in the flashback. The rest of the time we see him he would have his respirator on until he takes it off before he dies at the hands of Shang Tsung.

Jason Momoa as Night Wolf

Photobucket


He just looks just like Night Wolf. Dress him like a native american and BOOM, there ya go. I want him to teach Liu Kang Dragon Fire after he barely beats some guards.

Jason Statham as Kano

Photobucket


I know he's not Australian, but he has a heavy accent and can probably pull it off. He will be killed by Sonya, just like always c(:

Daniel Day Kim as Sub-Zero

Photobucket


He can act, I'm sure he will do well, he sides with Liu Kang. There is the Scorpion/Sub Zero rivalry because Scorpion killed his brother, but learns that his brother is still alive as Smoke. He then makes up for his clans past doings to Scorpions clan by saving Scorpion from Shao Kahn.

Hiroyuki Ikeuchi as Scorpion

Photobucket


He was great in Ip Man, Im sure he would be good as Scorpion. He sides with Liu Kang after being saved from Shao Kahn by Sub Zero after he defies Shao Kahns orders and goes rogue. He also learns from Smoke that it was Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung who really killed his clan and family.

Kevin Ohjitsu as Smoke

Photobucket


I know this isn't canon, but I want Smoke to be Sub Zero's older brother who faked his death at the hands of Scorpion because he felt sorry for Scorpion. He comes in earlier in the movie, fighting an earthrealm warrior and "killing" him, but really just sent him back to earth. He is a close ally to Shang Tsung, but is really a good guy, tipping off Kung Lao's party of movement activities by Shao Kahn.

Gemma Arterton as Kitana

Photobucket


She was good in Prince of Persia. She kinda reminds me of the Kitana from the first movie so I thought it’d be good. She’s really pretty too. She would join the good side after Raiden reveals who her true father was. ;D

Alexa Davalos as Mileena

Photobucket


I honestly didn’t know her and Gemma were in the same movie until just right now. I thought she kinda looked liked Gemma. Mileena would refuse to join the good side after Raiden tells her and Kitana who their real father was, because she always despised Kitana and was jealous of her, this being a perfect opportunity to kill her, but she dies instead.

Kristen Bauer as Sindel

Photobucket


I was searching for a while before I cast her, I almost went with Evangeline Lilly but thought she was too pretty c(: I first noticed Bauer in True Blood and thought that she’d be perfect for Sindel when I was looking for someone. She’d be evil, Shao-Kahn’s wife.

Ken Watanabe as Shang Tsung

Photobucket


A pretty big fan fav for the role, but seeing him in Batman Begins older, as well as Inception just sold it. Im siding with the other fans, he would be amazing in the role (: He gets killed by Raiden before the final fight with Shao-Kahn.

Nathan Jones as Shao Kahn

Photobucket


Its really hard finding someone for Shao Kahn, I mean, you need a huge mofo. I was gonna go with Tom Hardy, being that he is an amazing actor. You could just make him look huge, but I wanted it to be realistic. Shao-Kahn gets defeated by the combined powers of all of them or something, idk. This is coming of the top of my head at the moment.. c(:


Thanks for looking at the cast. I didn’t include minor characters like Baraka, Reptile, Ermak, Noob Saibot or the chick knock offs. But some of them will be in the movie, just not have major roles other than fighters.

@123Avengers - I know, I changed it up, I said I was going far from being canon. I just like the way Smoke looks, so I can always change him to be Noob Saibot, but make him not dead and look like Smoke in that pic.

@Hellsing - Yeah, its hard finding a big good actor, I wanted Tom Hardy, but I knew i'd get some criticism since hes not too tall. My first choice was Tom btw.

@jjmeylar - thanks bud! :D

OK but don't change Smoke.It can be interesting idea that he can be Zero's brother.

This is a really good fancast. Honestly if Ryan Reynolds couldn't pull off Johnny Cage of all people, then he should stop acting lol cuz that would be a perfect role for him.

Wow...best BEST cast for Mortal Kombat yet!!!
I have been suggesting Abbie Cornish for Sonya for SOOOO long! She is great!
Gemma is also very great! All of them are wonderful

this is a great Mortal Kombat cast. I'm glad you put Donnie Yen in there he has become my favorite Martial arts star, and he needs to be in more movies. I would cast Scott Adkins as someone because he needs to be in more movies too. Hopefully after Expendables 2 he will be a bigger name.

Great cast definitely. Some of your ideas i dont dig but still great cast.

There was only one actor who just doesnt feel right.
I think Sonya should look little bit tougher like in that picture which you put up and i think someone like Katee Sackhoff would nail the part perfectly.

Great Cast but why would you make Smoke Sub-Zero's brother when Noob already is? Doesn't really make sense man. Sub-Zero and Smoke are best friends. But besides that the cast is very good. Only thing I would consider changing is Donnie Yen, yes he looks the part and could pull it off but he's getting too old now. Need a younger guy or just time warp a young Donnie into the role.

@SolidSnake - Yeah, I said I changed it to Smoke being the brother rather than Noob Saibot. I think Smoke sounds cooler, I can easily change the character to Noob, I don't have a problem with that. I just have an idea to what smoke really uses is fog/haze from his Cryogenic power, I also like the way Smoke looks in that pic, that would be my character.

Also, Kung Lao is meant to be older, as previous fighters in the tournament from the Earthrealm.

Thanks everyone! I'm currently working on Metal Gear Solid, Green Lantern, and Xmen casts at the moment.

Stay checking if you like this one!

wow this is really good! i like the donnie yen add in! if you really like Donnie Yen you have to see Legend of The Fist: Return of Chen Zhen! such an amazing movie! Robin Shou is awesome but I hated the Chun Li movie. such a waste. You need some one else as johnny cage. I'm not sure who but not Ryan Reynolds.

This should be the cast for the Mortal Kombat reboot but I would replace Mekhi Phifer with Michael Jai White as Jax, and for Sonya Blade I would cast Ali Larter, and I would keep Rain as Liu Kang, and for Rayden I would bring back Christopher Lambert

Good cast.Except for the Smoke idea.Those are alot of characters to cram into one movie.Some of those characters should be saved for a possible sequel which I think will more than likely happen in the future.I hope the writers of the new MK make good character development along with better fight scenes than the original movie.Even though Sub-Zero is my favorite character,I think he should be killed by Scorpion.So that way Noob-Saibot can fight his younger brother.It would make for some good drama.

Dude this is probably the best and most well thought out fan cast I have ever seen in my time on CBM, well done. And to the person dissing on Reynolds, he would be the perfect Johnny Cage!

RAIN as LIU KANG: like it.

ROBIN SHOU as RAIDEN: No. If I were to bring back any old actor for Raiden, believe it or not, I'd go with Jeff Meek (Raiden from "Conquest"). He was a PERFECT pick for the Thunder God from an advisory standpoint, and being a black belt in Aikido as well as Tae Kwon Do, he has legitimate fight skills. Not saying Shou doesn't, he just doesn't strike me as Raiden.

CARY-HIROYUKI TAGAWA as SHINNOK: Yes. This is your MK1 tribute actor.

RYAN REYNOLDS as JOHNNY CAGE: No, and here's why. For an actor playing an actor, I don't think an A-Lister is the way to go. I'd look for a support actor on a TV show or B movie who looks like a good up-and-comer. The Johnny Cage role is the rookie career builder.

ABBIE CORNISH as SONYA: No. Maybe if this movie was going for a late 2010s or early 2020s release. Cornish just looks too young for it. There's someone I see in alot of MK fancast comment sections who brings up Katheryn Winnick. I'd go with her.

MEKHI PHIFER as JAX: No. Too small. Even if bulked up, he's still too short. Not looking for Michael Clarke Duncan or anything, I'd say someone Ving Rhames size, but JUST a little younger.

DONNIE YEN as KUNG LAO: I think this is a tie for best choice on your roster.

JAI COURTNEY as STRYKER: I'd give this to Brian Austin Green...

JOSEPH FIENNES as KABAL: After seeing them turn Kano British (say "Australian" all you want, but Goddard was from England.), I just can't seem to shake Europe from the rest of the Black Dragon, so I half agree with you. The half I don't is the specific actor. I'd want to use an accomplished fighter for this, especially since he's going to be masked most of the time anyway. I'd turn my binoculars towards Scotland and aim my casting fishing rod at Ray Park.

JASON MOMOA as NIGHTWOLF: Remember that tie for best choice I mentioned? Here's the other half.

JASON STATHAM as KANO: Kano's another role where (BIG) A-list is a no-no. Kevin Durand may be an "A minus-list" actor.

DANIEL DAE KIM as SUB-ZERO: Elder/Noob, yes. Younger/Tundra, no.

HIROYUKI IKEUCHI as SCORPION: Right call, but I'm not sure of the story. Scorpion should always be tied to Sub-Zero in one fashion or another.

KEVIN OHJITSU as SMOKE: Once again, canon or not, not really a fan of a character change THAT drastic. Also, Smoke was revealed to be Eastern European (Tomas Vrbada). Look up a guy named Nikita Bogolyubov. He guested in an episode of "Hard Target" and looks promising.

GEMMA ARTERTON as KITANA: Switch with Mileena

ALEXA DAVALOS as MILEENA: Switch with Kitana

KRISTEN BAUER as SINDEL: Good call.

KEN WATANABE as SHANG TSUNG: Good look for him, right age (for MK1 story), but I don't know if he can play evil enough. It'd be an experimental pick for me.

NATHAN JONES as SHAO KAHN: Was unsure at first until I remembered Fearless. As long as he can effectively hide the Australian accent, he's an awesome choice (and as long as he's not Brian Thompson in a strongman costume)

OVERALL: Some I agree with and some I don't. I wanted to give a friendly opinion and HOPEFULLY I didn't sound like a complete a-hole in the process...
