Annihilation's problem was it stuck way too close to the source material, and pretty much expected the viewer to already be intimately familiar with the games. This sounds as though it's jettisoning all but the bare bones of the source material. Talk about swinging from one extreme to the other and being wrong both times.

MK Annihilation tried to do too many damn things by combining MK2 and MK3...and out came nothing that made no sense.
But atleast it can be said for the most part the characters were atleast the characters whether they were potrayed badly is a whole other thing but the characters were themselves.
This movie is just like f*** all that....now Sonya is gonna be basically a gawd damn blogger chasing a story like she is gawd damn lois lane.

Sonya's being played by Jessica McNamee and Kano by Josh Lawson. I swear even the web series had a better cast.

Casper Van Dien - StarShip troopers Dan Southworth - Quantum Ranger/voice of Vergil from Devil May Cry Marc Dascascos - the gawd damn IronChef Michael Jai White - Spawn Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa - The Original Shang Tsung That is without getting into the rest....so much better is really underselling it how much better a friggin web series casted for Mortal Kombat that a full fledged movie has.

That Sonya character description is bonkers. I've always said I don't mind deviations from the source material, but this is like having the rights to Superman and being all "So he's Clark Kent, a surfer from Florida who comes across an ancient relic called Kryptonite. The relic grants him super strength, making him a Superman."

I'd have pegged Sanada for Shang Tsung, myself, but it's nice to see him get something other than a villain role for once.

True, but given how often Scorpion flip flops I'd say there's a decent enough chance he isn't a straight up villain.

It's been announced that the movie will be headlined by Lewis Tan playing the most essential, beloved character in Mortal Kombat, who clearly MUST be the main character of this movie...
Cole Turner.

These days, they’ve made Scorpion into an anti-hero of sorts, so if they base this MK movie on the current games, there’s a strong chance they have Scorpion in a similar role.

Has Johnny Cage been cast yet? I just finished watching Power Rangers (2017) again, and combining that with his role in Stranger Things, I think Dacre Montgomery would crush it as Johnny Cage.

Seems like he's been left out entirely. There've been cast and set photos and stuff and seems like the lineup is just Cole Turner, Sub-Zero, Jax, Raiden, Mileena, Liu Kang, Sonya, Kano, Shang Tsung, Scorpion, and Kung Lao. Though Cetrion's name is on a store banner so something?

Haven't heard anybody in this movie.
The Miz as Johnny Cage would make this movie a must see, but I think there's a zero chance of that happening...
Sisi Stringer is going to be a hot ass Mileena though. Will watch for sure.

Some documents related to the general outline of the movie've leaked, with some character descriptions. Main highlights are... {Spoiler}Movie's still about Cole's relationship with his daughter, Liu Kang and Kung Lao are brothers, Kung Lao speaks in sign language due to taking a vow of silence, Mileena's explicitly said to basically just be Electra, Scorpion isn't even mentioned in the cast listing so he's presumably basically just an extra, Sub-Zero's Cole's evil rival, and Kano's an antihero who comically bickers with Sonya. Yeah, this is going to be dogshit.
