Mortal Kombat Movie Casting

LOL i think thst Peter Mensah looks like Quan Chi. Maybe some paint and he will nail the role lol... I mean look at him in Spartacus.
 
Brian Bosworth is the best choice for Shao Kahn. I mean, before he started his movie career, Bosworth was a football star who had a villainous image known as "The Boz".

He seems like a decent choice. You can always find freakishly tall and stocky people.
I still think Mears could do a good performance.

Jackie Chan would be an absolutely HORRIBLE choice for Liu Kang. First of all, he's too old, secondly, Jackie Chan does not fit in the role of a Shaolin Monk, thirdly, he does not practice Jeet Kune Do.

Jet Li for Kung Lao makes complete sense however. Can pull off the Shaolin Monk look, and has the same Kung Fu as Kung Lao.

I would say Hiroyuki Sanada for Scorpion
Stephen Amell for Johnny Cage
Scarlet Johansson for Sonya Blade
Michael Jai White still as Jax
Tom Hardy for Sub-Zero

That's all I can think of so far.

I think Kung Lao looked alot like Jet Li in MK9.

I agree with these choices. Hardy as Sub-Zero could be really badass.

A simple I disagree would've worked too, lol. Jackie Chan would be a good Bo' Rai Cho then. He's done a few role's using Drunken Boxing in his movies. I really like your choice for Scorpion. That's pretty awesome! Maybe Ken Watanabe as Bi-Han/Noob Saibot?

No way!
Ken Watanabe as young Shang Tsung.

Sorry Dude, I've just seen that name thrown around so much for Liu and it's like oh dear! Jackie as a skinnier Bo Rai Cho would be awesome actually.

Ken Watanabe as Sub-Zero would fit, but I wouldn't go the Japanese route for Sub-Zero.

Right. I get it. Lol. Noob Zero said Ken Watanabe would be a good Shang Tsung. I agree. What do you think?


Come on fellas. Lets keep this thread alive. Lol

Kano - Manu Bennet
Seeing him in both Spartacus as Crixus and as Slade/Deathstroke in Arrow, he has both the looks as well as being able to pull off arrogance and physical intimidation.

(Here in Australia, they're playing reruns of JAG, and one can't help but remember Trevor Goddard :( )

Sindel - Morena Baccarin.
For those who can rember her in V, she can be both poised and regal one second, violent and psychotic the next.

Shao Kahn - Dolph Lundgren
He's got the build (6'5") plus the martial arts experience (Black Belt in full-contact Karate)

Smoke (Human) - Oded Fehr
Best known for Anton in Deuce Bigalow, Carlos in Resident Evil
 
Shinnok

David Bowie

This may seem like an odd suggestion, but here me out: He's a very capable yet highly underrated actor (The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Prestige, and of course Labyrinth ). Those who've seen Labyrinth know that he can handle the fantasy genre excellently, especially the role of the all-powerful Magic villain
 
I know some of you will think I've lost my natural mind, but if Kurt Russell was a younger man, I think he'd do Johnny amazingly.

If we're talking MK X, he would be perfect as Johnny.

Other ideas:

Cassie Cage: Margot Robbie (Neighbors, Wolf of Wall Street)


Nightwolf: Taylor Laughtner. Apart from the ethnicity, he's got both the physique plus the martial arts experience

Kintaro (voice): Michael Dorn (Worf from Star Trek: TNG)

Bi-Han: Karl Yune (Miseo from Arrow Season 3)

How should Reptile be done?
- Actor wearing makeup/prosthetics
- CGI
- Animatronics/Puppet
 
Skarlet: Ariana Grande
