I'm actually kind of disappointed by that. Miz seemed tailor made for the role. Karl would have been a perfect Kano if they were looking for someone for the first movie.

I love that artwork and the way the cool sky color contrasts with the warm colors in the "Mortal Kombat" words. (Sorry, I know this topic is supposed to be about the movie sequel).

I wouldn’t watch a movie Miz is acting in…so this was a good call from my perspective.

It'll be interesting to see the reaction from those who opposed Miz's potential casting based on the fact that he's not a martial artist, because that argument also applies to Urban.

I probably would have cast younger for Johnny Cage. Karl Urban is 50. I didn't really like the first one anyway so I can't say I'm that interested in this one.

Awesome pick. Urban is great in everything he does. Thankfully it wasn’t a pro wrestler.

Miz would have been fine. Karl is a much better actor, like no shit, but Miz wouldn't have been any worse than some of the acting in the previous film.
That being said, I feel like both Miz and particular Karl are old for the part.

Does anyone remember how the CPU would act completely differently depending if you picked the left or right joystick?

I think an older Johnny Cage would work fine if you lean into the idea of him being washed up and past his prime.
I'm kind of just hoping this one skews closer to the games and has better pacing. I thought the first movie was fine but it's very slow at points and there's a lot of shit changed for the sake of being changed.

I Hope they give Cole Young the Johnny Cage in MK annihilation treatman and just kill him off the minute he shows up on screen. There are so many interesting characters in the MK Universe that they could use for screen time, we don’t need s stupid “surrogate” character in a MK movie.

I'd probably do something to kill Cole himself off while having his body become a vessel for Scorpion's spirit or something. When you've already got that setup might as well use it but the character himself is nothing.

First one was way more fun than I expected, Cole Young was definitely the downpoint, but thought the 'arcana' stuff was a decent concept for movie structure and an alternate take on the formula, and they nailed some of the characters. Kano was a particular delight, having that unlikely collaboration just made every scene he was in an anarchic, messy joy, he's so horrible and it just works.
And tbh I was so, so happy to have Bi Han as an actual villain without a 'Oh it was really Quan Chi the whole time' thing, I know they wanted to establish Quan Chi as a big deal in MK4 but it's happened in multiple continuities now and it feels like a bit of a cop out. You can have it be on his orders, manipulating things to Shinnok's design, but you don't need to have him do the shapeshifting and really murdering Scorpion's family, that's more of a Shang Tsung thing and leaves Sub Zero as a particularly ineffectual assassin.
I think that now the whole MK multiverse is such a thing in the canon, and other movies like Snow Blind going buckwild with its Mad Max like setting, I'm more forgiving of divergences from the canon, as much as the original movie works as being just a straight adaptation that just does everything simply and accurately.

The first 10min were the absoloute best part of the entire movie and then all the wheels just fall off and becomes this mess with the Mortal Kombat named slapped on it.
And then they had the balls to have this literal plot armor not only kill Goro but then scorpion needs his help to fight sub zero in the end.
I REALLY hope they kill him immediately to begin the sequel.
