Don't really know any of these actors, but it's going to be hard to top how spot-on the original movie cast was.

My girl Mileena might not show up in MK11 but she's gonna be in the MOVAAAAAY!

Peons are going to get stomped by my kween. Or she'll just job like she usually does.

All I'm saying is, Scott Adkins would be a pretty good Kano.

I know previously the rumor was that Joel Edgerton was going to be Kano. Dude may not have a martial arts background but he's a damn good actor so he could be great in the role especially if he uses his natural Aussie accent.

So who do we not have casting for yet?

Johnny
Sonya
Scorpion
Shang Tsung
Kano

I'm guessing those are the most important.

Maybe Kuai Lang if they want to introduce him sooner.

This would be awesome too. I hope it's true.

He sold his fight scenes well in Warrior.

Yep; also Jade. And the guy they cast as Sub-Zero will portraying Scorpion, Reptile, Ermac, Noob Saibot, and Smoke. Both actors will be taking lessons in what's known in the industry as 'Klumpsing' from the man himself, Eddie Murphy.

Yes yes, palette swap and all, but I mean, isn't Mileena literally cloned from Kitana? So it would make sense in this case.

I'd be more stoked about this if Netherrealm Studios own games weren't so damn good already.

The last 3 MK games are the bar to pass. It's a surprisingly high bar too..

Is that James Olsen?

Hell yes it is!

They haven't ever really been depicted as identical twins. I'd say Mileena guarantees Kitana, but I would be very surprised if they don't cast someone else to play her.


FINALLY!

A Mortal Kombat live action production that does not white-wash Raiden!

Exactly my reaction. I hated Christopher Raiden, and I've hated the way Raiden's been portrayed in the games since the movie.

I don't think they have been white-washing Raiden considering this was his original actor:

Hell, his brother was the guy who was Johnny Cage.

That's such a bad casting for Jax. Sorry, I had to say it. Mehcad Brooks is a good actor, but imo, not a good fit for the character as established.
