I have my reservations about this "reimagining" of the classic video game series but there is no doubt that Jai White as Jax is great casting. He is joined by Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade and Darren Shahlavi Kano among others.

heres something Marvel cast Michael Jai White to be Luke Cage

@Dynamo

most likely not

@RorMachine

the MK webseries wont be like MK Rebirth fan film. this will be closer link to the video game universe. it will have realistic and fantasy also. so in Jax, Sonya, Kano storyline it will be more reality based. when it comes to Raiden and any magicial character it be fantasy based. Michael Jai White confirmed this in a IGN interview

I loved the first short vid they did, can't wait to see what else is coming. The gritty, real world-ish takes on the characters are great.

MJW! One of the baddest men on the planet, and I don't mean just movie macho, either, legit. This guy is a serious and multidimensional martial-artist and inspired actor/writer. His Blood and Bone and Black Dynamite films are must see for anyone who considers themselves a true fan of the martial-arts film genre. Not to mention he's one of the few tough guys of color in and or around Hollywood, just sayin'.

Michael Jai White for Luke Cage

Jason Statham|Luke Goss for Danny Rand

Eamonn Walker for Tombstone

Heroes for Hire movie perfect casting, you're welcome!

my momma said my daddy's name is Black Dynamite.... MJW is the shit, @teabag he saved universal soldier, blood and bone was ok, spawn was the shit, undisputed II had the rawest action scines, and i think he should play John Stewart in GL2..who agrees???

He is a sensei isnt he? Hopefully he will get to use his martial arts this time instead of just looking angry.

I loved spawn despite how shit it was, and how annoying that [frick]ing clown was.

And MJW as luke cage would be awesome too.

@jazzman - What people do not know is that they already are putting Luke Cage in the works. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401601/ copy that link bud :D
jazzman
jazzman - 3/8/2011, 2:57 PM
@gffrycole

that info is so old and false. IMDB got that info on their site for years and nothing has changed. IMDB is very unreliabe when it comes to film news.

albieg25 - 3/8/2011, 3:03 PM
MJW or Terry Crews would make a good Luke Cage

@leee777

Michael Jai White was FAR from what was wrong with Spawn..that movie had problems that no leading man could have saved with the script and direction it had. It is like saying Hugh Jackman screwed up X-3

TheGODDAMMEDHeinekenGuy - AGREE about black dynamite. Michael Jai White is a LEGEND.

I haven't watched Spawn in a very, very long time, so I can't really comment on that, but Michael Jai White really is great at action scenes. I'm not sure anyone would dispute this -- and we're talking Mortal Kombat here guys, not high brow stuff. I'm hoping he'll kick ass at this role, but I'll concede his acting chops are really not the greatest.

Michael Jai White is a good actor, he just plays a bunch of roles that requires him to beat the shit out of some1 or always be angry
thewolfx
thewolfx - 3/8/2011, 5:41 PM
jai white can act he just does action movies that require him to waist everyone ..which is awesome

and in my book if you dont like black dynamite your a lame shit :/

there's gonna be magic and stuff like that too?? oh man, i really loved the Rebirth thingy.... would have loved to see a more realistic spin on Raiden and the gods without the magic and the lightning shooting out from hands stuff. i know the situation with surgically attached blades to hands was totally laughable, but it was something we could imagine happening more easily than huge yellow people with four hands. it was more closer to real life. but now it's just gonna be just another "reboot" like everything else these days with different actors playing the same old characters set in slightly different scenarios. bit of a buzzkill for me.

WIN!

@jazzman: Thanks for the great post of that video. Ah, the misfits who made RE are going to adapt Dante, eh? In other words, we'll get a white-haired(maybe) devil hunter with a coat, slaying demons, but he won't be linked to the real Dante or hardly any likeness to the game. Yawn, that video should have been made into a thread on the main, by the way.

@Reynman: Any reboot should still fit in the context of the source they are adapting........Once you take the mysticism out of MK it is no longer MK because fantasy is it's ENTIRE genetic makeup. That's like saying a Superman reboot should be about superman being a ex-convict from a gang called Krypton that wears S's on their shirts just because it's "something new".
