Miz as Johnny Cage would be... fine, I guess. Like, I know Miz's wrestling persona is basically "Johnny Cage but wrestling", but Miz can tread way too far into "I don't want to watch him" territory if in large doses, and I imagine Cage is going to be a big part of the sequel.
Maybe the studio will give more money for a bigger casting next go around and maybe we get, say, Chris Pratt? Hell, maybe even Jeremy Renner; I could see that working. Miz just feels like a lazy choice and I don't really think he's *that* good for the role anyway.

Somehow, I thought this was cornier/goofier than the 1995 movie. I realize it's probably because I watched it as a kid, but 95 Kombat is so much more fun. This just felt like your standard bad direct-to-video action movie.

Everyone has the right to an opinion. Except this person, they just lost theirs. This is so bad. Everyone's opinion is different, but good Lord. They're basically giving this movie "The Fiend Defense" "There's SOOOO much LORE! It's pushing boundaries!"

I thought Cole was fine. Not great by any means but he got some alright fights, his powers are fine, and he served his job of being the guy everyone exposits at without really getting in the way of the more interesting characters. Yeah, he wasn't really the MC. Just someone to explain everything too which is fine You probably could have just easily put another MK every man character in there like Stryker but i'm guessing they got future plans for Cole which if it pans out like people expect than fine Hell, in terms of a first movie you could have used Sonya since she was the driving force behind everything

Yeah, that's totally the only huge name that isn't in there. I especially loved what they did with Shao Kahn, Cyrax, Ermac, Kitana, and Quan Chi.

To be fair, stuffing characters in just because they could is one of the laundry list of problems from Annihilation. Still forget Cyrax and Shinnok were shown in a MK movie and were both done so poorly.

Read a interview the director gave and all I can say is I hope he doesn't MK11 it if they get a sequel

Yeah, Cole is basically a bad fanfic character created just because the writer could.

$22.5 mil in pandemic times should be enough to get a sequel. Give me Miz as Johnny Cage! My least favorite wrestler as my favorite fighting game character.. No thank you. What if they gave him a jetpack?

Well i'll spoiler just in case since movie still new {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} In regards to the character deaths he said he doesn't want to make them inconsequential but for someone like Sub-Zero their is wiggle room
He likes how the games made the deaths matter but then did stuff with alternative universes to have them learn from their death
My hope is he referring to more MK10 with how you had a lot of revenants and was able to bring them back and not MK11 where everything got reset

In terms of deaths... {Spoiler}I think there's some wiggle room that's forgivable. Noob Saibot is a very obvious one to where it'd be stupid if they don't do it (and he fits with how Scorpion worked in this movie anyway), but I think if you come up with a decent excuse you could also get away with bringing back Kano, maybe Mileena if you lean on the clone thing. Anyone else would just be dumb.
I kind of started to say Goro but really for him you could just use Kintaro or Sheeva instead anyway.
Kung Lao should only happen if it's as a revenant.

Which makes sense since they're played by the same actor

Kano and Kabal are really the stretches to be brought back but can bring them back as revenats like Kung Lao
Mileena could be a clone. Goro getting killed served a purpose to unlock Cole.
Sub Zero is def being brought back as Noob Saibot

Since they've already got 4 movies lined up if it's successful (seems to be) then how do yall see the next going? I say this.
- MK2 (mix of 1 and 2, an actual tournament now) - MK3 (MK4 with Shinnok) - MK4 (DEADLY ALLIANCE HELL YESSSSS!!!) - MK5 (MK11 Dark Raiden, Onaga, yessir)
