Brazillianced.
Scorpiont serves (*)
Why??? Scott Atkins should be J Cage & Karl U should be Kano! FACTS!!!
Karl Urbans too old... so Cage is being played by someone who's 51? Should've went with Tatum.
Karl Urban would've made a much better Kano than Johnny Cage
Right???
Totally, he’s born for that role
Right, they should have got Ryan Reynolds to play Johnny Cage
I came here to say this as well. 100 percent!
Absolutely agree.
Everyone seems to be concerned about the Johnny Cage choice (which I understand) but truthfully, I'm more concerned about the possibility of Cole Young becoming the next Scorpion. I didn't like Cole in the first movie and I much prefer Hiroyuki stays for the long haul for Scorpion. He might not be young but he's more than healthy enough for it for one and he slayed as Scorpion (my opinion) for another.
Real rap
Cole is a stupid idea for the movie
m.czcams.com/video/ZW9IfX6vNIU/video.html&pp=ygUaTW9ydGFsIGtvbWJhdCBvcGVuaW5nIDE5OTU%3D
Hope they use this as the opening scene
It's already obvious that Cole may end up being Scorpion. But Hiroyuki killed the Scorpion role. Hiro is one of my favourite Asian actors. Let's see what happens. Cole's character in one was not so outstanding. Infact Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki was the movie.
I wanted someone to murder cole the entire movie!!!
Scott Adkins is such an underrated actor. It's too bad he's getting overlooked in Mortal Kombat.
Facts
Scott Adkins is a fucking monster they fucked up overlooking him they need actors like him an mike moller for this movie they have all these off brands put the best in the movie that's why the first one did reach its potential level
Johnny Cage
I really hope Josh Lawson returns as Kano. He made the movie for me. Good to see Baraka in MK2.
In my opinion I don't think Karl Urban should be Johnny Cage. But there have been castings in other films where the actor/actress surprised us by fitting well into the role. Maybe that's what'll happen with Karl. Who knows? As long as the film is fantastic. Hopefully.
Yeah, he should've definitely played Kano.
Ryan Reynolds
Unfortunately, there's no longer Kano in the sequel since he was already killed by Sonya during the fight in the house.
despite loving when Linden Ashby did it, i wanna see the ol' sod will do. bravo, Karl.
I'm surprised about such cast too, but I believe in Karl's Urban talent. He's a pretty good actor, and had different roles. I guess people confused just because he's getting too associated with his Billy Butcher role. So it will be good to play someone not similar to Billy.
1. Karl Urban- I like him as an actor. He's funny and not a stranger to action roles, but i don't think he is a great fit for the Johnny character, but I will hold my judgment for when I see it.
2. Josh Lawson- A surprising character who was one of the best parts of the film. I hope he returns and while I do think he'll play a smaller role, I am hopeful he will be a scene stealer for whatever time he gets! Also, I hope he returns and looks more like his game counterpart (Eye Shield). Very easy to explain his return. He died momentarily but survived and got his upgrade.
3. Martyn Ford- He has the look for sure and physical prowess to play Shao Kahn. I just hope he sounds the part. I am looking forward to his brutal nature.
Nathan Jones for Shao Kahn
Indeed, Karl would fit someone else much better.
@tomasburian6550 Karl Urban could've been a good fit for Kano. The voice, the look and like I said before he isn't a stranger to action! But Josh Lawson is Kano. It would be hard to recast someone after his performance for Kano!
I agree while I'm in no doubt that Urban is more athletic than most of us but he just doesn't fit with Cage. Cage needs to be someone not only athletic but also limber and agile, he does splits and backflips for his fights. Just don't seem like that's fitting with a massive physique like Urban. Yeah he should've played Kano, he would be perfect.
@@floatingdisembodiedhead8975 Urban isn't THAT massive. If Urban can pull off the look of a kickboxer and deliver Cage's charm (which he can), he'll deliver. It depends on how he's written and directed.
Tbh, I don't really care if the movie will be bad or not. I'm still on board just for JOE TASLIM. He was great as Sub-Zero! I'm so happy he did justice to Bi-Han 😌💙
Can't wait for NOOB SAIBOT by this amazing martial artist!! 🔥🔥🖤
The first one is a straight up horror movie! Also, I love how it subverted my expectations and give us a build up to the tournament.
No matter how hard they try.
Mortal Kombat 1995 will always be king.
For now ... let's wait and see how this one is.
@@maciekgutkowski8075it’s not gonna be good they not following the lore and inserting there own nonsense
I agree
Dewey crow> Qan chi
Seriously? I thought it was overly cheesy junk. The newer one was infinitely better.
I really wanted the Miz to get cast as Johnny Cage. He basically is Johnny Cage already.
I totally agree
There is nothing I would like more. Miz is literally IRL Johnny Cage.
L.A. Knight would have been WAY better!
Exactly set him up with some bodybuilding training and that's about all he needs
But instead they bring in a guy that looks like Kano. Lol
Karl Urban's comedic ability showed in Star Trek is better than all the other choices by far. I think he will continue to surprise us.
I would like to see John Cena play Cage hes hella funny
The Miz was born to play that role. Huge Miss@@worsethanhitlerpt.2539
The sub zero they used in the most recent movie was great I felt he was the best character they should use him again.
This had to be wrote before you watched the video.
The biggest problem with the first movie was Cole Young, and they are still keeping him as the main character, why i have no idea, the first movie was a missed opportunity to focus on scorpion like the animated movie, while the sequels could gradually focus on liu kang as the chosen one, so my issues with it stand
Fr he’s not even a MK character I don’t get why he is getting more focus and attention than the actual cast whoever thought this shit was a good idea is beyond help rn
Because they know people will get in line and hand over their money no matter what. People are sheep.
Agreed
We can watch a movie and still review bomb it mate ;)@@Miles0370
@@Miles0370 honestly tho it’s so stupid they should just focus on Liu Kang he’s there for a reason
Noob Saibot in a movie in and of it self is more than amazing!!!
Boon & Tobias!!
Don't mess up the special effects, deliver some decent fight scenes and the fans will appreciate it. Nobody expects superb story or character development from a videogame adoption. Just make it bad-ass and people will be on board!
The casting! The special effects and fight scenes were already great in the first film. Where it failed is all of the casting outside of Sub Zero and Scorpion.
Considering how vast and interesting the Mortal Kombat universe is, I DO expect a good story. But most of all, I expect a more interesting main character than the one we got in the previous film.
@@daniel.muntean two things you didn't get in the first one so there's my point xD
The first film was all of that and people still slated it
@@Kai-worldclass It was succesfull enough that they greenlit a sequel.
The MK series would be an absolute hit if they would up they're budget and cast really good actors. So much potential but falls short on execution. MK is by far my favorite story line and characters.
Also considering everyone is over the marvel hype. Over/ready for something different.
Agreed!@@rcSnooks
Totally...still better than anything street fighter came out with lol
@@rcSnooks Facts. There's a void, and MK can be the one to fill it. ITs a huge universe with huge opportunity. There's plenty of characters that could have their own movies.
I think too much budget and it will be harder to make a profit for this and then no more mortal kombat films. First one was amazing so hope this one is a good followup!
Strange choice for Cage but there must have been something about his audition that was better than the others. Also cast chemistry probably plays a role, the first movie had a lot of fun moments between the cast so it’s probably important that he fits in. Apparently he has a black belt in Judo and has some Tae Kwon Doe training, for all we know he’s actually physically phenomenal and can do the splits. The first movie did a pretty good job so I’ll trust the casting. When it comes to adaptations the energy usually matters more than the look and Urban is probably the best actor out of all the names being thrown around so maybe he just did the best job representing Johnny Cage in the auditions.
The first film was okay at best.... this casting is terrible.
@@alexanderwilliamson7431 except for sub zero and scorp, they are fantastic.
@AdoniceJoseph The actor for Kano was a perfect casting choice. The look, the accent, the attitude. They couldn't have chosen a better actor.
@AdoniceJosephI thought Kabal was the best.
Good points 👍 agree
Mortal Kombat movie is MUST WATCH! No matter if it's bad or not! I actually enjoyed the 1st movie even though it was not levels it's still amazing to see our favorite characters since 30 years to come alive in the cinema so we can only hope for the best and be grateful and happy with the result!
Who cares if it's good we have to eat the ahit they feed us right at least ita something hurr durr you'd eat shit if everyone else said it was delicious and then get mad at everyone and instead of yourself for eating the shit.
true fan right here! i agree sir/ma’am
No. It was a train wreck and that's why no one is talking about it anymore.
@@m3lvn415Thats only your opinion, imo the first was decent enough, the sequel will be better for sure because of the new characters, first of all wdym no one is talking about it anymore? My buddies and I been talking about it for so long and probably more out there.
I liked it enough for two watches. It wasn't great as films go, but it was great as Mortal Kombat goes. It's a different kind of stamdard.
Bro u gave the best unbiased view. U got my sub just for this video alone. Bet I'm in for a treat.
Who loves MK he'll love the movie too... There are some things in the movie that I don't like (weak and tiny Liu Kung...) but some things are really good... Subzero scenes are badass! Waiting for the next movie!
I honestly think the Miz is the perfect fit for Cage
No doubt especially with his on the fly mic skills
I CAME TO PLAY
I think it’ll be a fun watch, but I also think that the insistence on making Cole young the main protagonist again (if this is true) shows a major disconnect from whaat the fans want to see.
agreed.. didn't care for the main character. I mostly cared for the other characters that I know from the series, from the game. This new guy threw me off and somewhat had me disconnected from it.
My Favorite is Linden Ashby as Johnny Cage with Bridgette Wilson as Sonya Blade
I’m pumped for this I loved the movie I gave it a solid 7-5 & waited 20 years for this !
Dude was born to play Kano how do you drop the ball this bad
This is a great video.
Love that you show the director, producers, etc.
I always wonder what they look like.
Honestly.
Great video. Very informative. Very well researched. So hyped for this sequel! Yeww
Just happy to see Lawson standing tall after he carried the first film.
All jokes aside, Miz probably would have been a great pick for Cage. His WWE character is basically Cage as it is. Just my two cents. No disrespect to Karl Urban, he's a great actor in his own right.
Hopefully they can get it right this time, because that first movie was ROUGH. Kano really had to carry that turd on his back. lol
Agree
Kano, sonya and the fight between sub zero vs scorpion at the end was good, but the rest was meh. Liked it overall though
Don’t forget Kabal, Scorpion, and Sub Zero
The actor who played SubZero did too with his acting everyone else was meh.
But everyone loves cole young 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i spoke about Kano immediately when i saw Karl given the Johnny character!
Am so happy we get to see Noob, he is my fave after scorpion
Can we all agree that the original Mortal Kombat (1995) had a memorable and impeccable cast? Everyone was perfect and Christopher Lambert was the perfect anchor.
I'm happy to see new actors getting a chance to make a name for themselves. I have high hopes for this film and going in with an open mind and heart.
Karl Urban was a key part of the Star Trek franchise which were big box office movies and 'The Boys' is very popular too which he stars in as the main protagonist. Plus, he will most likely be the biggest star in this movie so it makes sense from the studio's perspective to go for him, although Adkins would have been a better choice.
Adkins is getting older but he's literally a real life martial arts action star with enough acting experience now to pull of a role like Johnny Cage.
Scott Adkins is trully great Martial Artist ... but he cant play character like Johny Cage ....not funny enough .. he has not the facial expression and voice ... there for .. he could be almost any other character ... thats why they get the role for Karl Urban ... even tho his appearance doesnt look the part ... but his role in the Boys plays exactly how Johny or Kano should ... but since Kano was already there ...
@@marekbabik2791 Yeh I was giving Adkins the benefit of the doubt as far as acting range but your probably right, I've never seen any evidence of him as a comic relief type of character.
Johnny cage is becoming more a major character in MK recently, I think because he represents the viewer's perspective in the MK universe. So you need someone who can portray that character with leading man charisma and screen presence.
Also, the guy who played Kano in the first movie did a great job in my opinion, he was better than anyone else.
@@FightingIsLife scott was super funny in the accident guy, man is just not popular enough
i'm not aware of karl urban being a part of star trek.
he seems far too young.
@@sabin97 What?! The Star Trek movie with Karl Urban is from 2009 and after that a few sequels.
Karl Urban is 51 now and Scott Adkins 47. I prefer Adkins as Johnny Cage, but Karl often surprises me with his roles and doing a great job.
He is perfect in The Boys and perfect as Judge Dredd.
Yeah... I'm not holding my breath for this one to blow me away.... I was insanely excited for the first one and was soooo let down... knowing Cole is again the central protagonist just makes me roll my eyes at this movie.... it does not seem like the writers of these movies are OG fans of the games nor the lore...
They're doing it right I couldn't be happier with the MK1 and I'm ready for MK2....I watched the first movies when they came out and had to live with that version till now so I'm pumped 😁
Thank you for the good news. I'm glad that Subzero was properly cast in the Mortal Kombat 2 movie. Not only me, but other fans were also hoping for it. I am a Korean fan.^^
I’m excited about an MKCU, the first movie wasn’t great but those first 10 minutes or so with Scorpion and Sub-Zero I could have watched for hours.
Yes those opening scenes of scorpion and Sub-Zero blew me away.. just from those scenes alone I thought that movie was going to be totally different vibe to it.. overall I enjoyed the movie but there was some parts lacking like Liu Kang.. they made him into more of a side note.
That's because it was just a tech demo for a studio to pick up I believe.
There were things i didn't like about the first movie, but I still watched it half a dozen times.
Excited for the sequel.
Hopefully they follow the storylines instead of ruining them.
I don't care what the Hollywood critics say about the Mortal Kombat movie because tons of MK fans out there enjoyed the movie including myself. The one character that stood out for me was Kano who definitely brought comedy to brighten up the serious tone of the movie. Also my favorite MK character (Kabal) was crazy good in the first movie and I enjoyed seeing him in there.
I'm a 30 year mk fan who watched it with 4 or 5 other mk fans and that movie fuckin sucked. Tf did u watch? Nobody who knows anything about mk doesn't like that movie. U lying
this franchise will go flat in terms of reviews. not good not bad either.
It's good that you enjoyed the movie for me as an MK fan I hated the first one so far the 1995 is the best movie in my opinion. Hopefully the 2021 sequel would be better but i highly doubt it
I loved the first even with it's flaws. I am so excited for the sequel and with Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, He will 100% commit to the role. So excited to see Noob Saibot in live action.
Again someone, who is not a martial artist and has no physique. The last cam be fixed, but he is not martial artist. In the first movie it was very obviously, who is a real martial artist and who not, and the that made a impact to the fighting scene and their authenticity. Movie like that needs a real martial artist. Anyway most of the actors are not very famous, so it's not like the producers to want a big names.
@@vencislavgynev8282they could fix that if they made Yuen Woo Ping the martial arts choreographer lol
@@vencislavgynev8282he is a martial artist though. A real life one.
@@WHSuperman2005
Are he? Some sources? Some video of him being? In what martial art/arts he practicing?
scott adkins deserves the johnny cage role. the things scott can do would just make cage that much more awesome
1st movie left us wanting alot and thats what its supposed to do. Glad the direction it came from. Sequel tournament will be badass.
I think Ryan Reynolds would've been a perfect Johnny cage.. Sarcastic witty and his experience as deadpool would've further the depth of the character Johnny caged.
Fax
Too expensive to cast him
@@Colt8722there's also another problem, because he's too well known the audience will perceive "Deadpool" or "Ryan" instead of Johnny Cage...
Agreed
That dude's already in every popular media. That would be a horrible casting choice. That's like casting The Rock as Shao Khan 😂 yes it works on paper but they're already overblown in other films it would overshadow the whole movie.
I absolutely loved it the first movie. How about everybody pump the brakes and give all the actors a chance to fill their selected roles before making judgment calls. Karl Urban is a great actor and very well could be a dynamite Johnny Cage, who knows?
I personally liked the "new" MK. I liked the older ones better. I think that cast was very good back then. But i do enjoy some fresh takes from the new cast as well. It's different yet it was great in my opinion. I will be watching MK2 for sure!
I stayed up til 3am to watch this when it dropped on hbo max and I'm playing MK1 rn. The graphics are niceee and I like the new story so far
Wow, great surprise! I'm happy about Karl Urban's casting! His screen charisma (even in smaller roles) and ability to find the soft spot betwen solid acting and overacting will make him great Johnny Cage. It will also cause the whole cast to try harder not to get overhelmed by him!
I just hope they will doing good makeup for him to look at least 35-36 years old.
They should have given scott adkins the role of johnny cage. The last film really pissed me off.
as a day one fan. THIS WAS A PERFECT MOVIE. Had some slightly out of place things but they never distracted from the good this movie had. I felt for Scorpion and hes always been my favorite.
Excited, looking forward to it
I'm just excited for the whole thing. Win, lose, hit, or flop, I'm a fan. And I don't care where they put Karl Urban; he's a legend. He could show up as mokap and I'd still watch it.
I loved fights in the first film but I hope we get a much better plot. Not to sure about Urban being casted as Johnny Cage, still let’s see what they do hopefully video game movies finally turn around and be as good as they can.
Agreed. So many characters they could of plotted a build up to the first tournament and focuses a little more on the backgrounds of each character.
That’s because they are just throwing shit together and calling it a mk movie with the wrong cast
5:32 these a.i scripts are so funny dude, the way this is worded 😭
lol “Angry Johnny” came to mind 😂😂
The actresses for Kitana and Jade 🤌🏼💯.
Also, if it's true that all of this will have a sequel and if Noob Saibot is making an appearance I hope to see my main Ermac and maybe even Smoke in the future films. Basically, all characters from the original MK trilogy should show up. We need, Motaro, Kintaro and/or Sheeva as underbosses uf possible.
Ermac would be sick! He is my main as well.
I legit thought Smoke was gonna be in the last movie because of a quick shot in the trailer but it turned out to just be of Bi Han with that smoke effect they used for when Shang Tsung was teleporting people or whatever
THE ACTOR THAT WILL PLAY SHAO KHAN WILL BE ON POINT
Reginald McDonald said God bless and keep up the great work out there coming from Jackson Ms. ❤️🗽❤️
Congrats brother Raguel (Joe taslim). Couldn't be more happier for you.
I loved the first movie and Ive been excitedly waiting for the next one. Some of these cast choices are really good and make sense. I think Karl Urban can pull off Johnny. But Im interested to see how Ford portrays Shao Kahn. He obviously physically fits the part. But Im interested to see what he brings as far as acting the part goes.
Will be his first chance to actually act i think, hope he is up to it..
That would be so dope if they did a series of movies. As long as they use the sorce material.
Keep the cast as is cause everyone who hasn’t played a mortal kombat character give them a chance and would love to see some new characters as well this will be awesome
With all the small time actors it makes perfect sense they brought in Karl urban for star power
ok i love they are making a sequel cause i want one but... like most others... i think Cole is bland uninteresting and doesnt add anything to the plot aside from being the audience conduit to this world be a OC ... that why i kinda hope they kill him off in the next one. But not a "they die in the fist 5min" death but at least give it some meaning, like make Cole a fan of Cage (which im pretty sure is alluded to with the posters at the gym maybe?) and they form a kind of bond and he dies at the moment when Cage is teetering on if he is gonna join in the Tournament and how he earns the strength to get his iconic powers. Otherwise im happy with nearly everything ive heard so far about its production.
Cole being a Johnny fan sounds interesting and could add more to his character. Maybe Cole got into fighting because of Johnny or made some of his own moves based off of some of Johnny's moves
Karl Urban as Johnny Cage?? Why ??💀💀
OMG!!! Part 2 is gonna be huge. I can already tell from this video. I agree that Karl Urban would be a great Kano, but we'll see how he does with Johnny Cage. I'm looking forward to see Shao Kahn in this as well. I also love the fact that we will see Bi Han as Noob Sai Bot. And Quan Chi? Oh boy!! This is film is gonna exceed the first one. Hands down, I can't wait.😮😃😁
So will wait for the second movie, see how it is
Kal Urban doesn't fit for Johnny's cage character.
Karl Urban casted as Johnny Cage tells me everything I need to know about this film
💯! Cole young should have already told you. The stupid ‘Tana’ thing is dumb also
The Miz would’ve been a perfect cast. He’s literally Johnny in real life. 😂 what a missed opportunity.
I am so psyched for this movie. Huge Mortal Kombat fan. Only if Annihilation was never made, perhaps then we wouldn't have had to have waiten 20yrs to get a proper release.
We want more fatalitises in the movie....just like in the game...
What really kills me is that none of those actors are bad. So if the 1st movie didn't do well it's because of the writers and directors changing things so much that fans get pissed. Here's hoping the 2nd movie does better.
Personally, I'd nominate the Merc with the Mouth for the role of Johnny Cage. I belive Ryan Reynolds is born for that role.
the first movie was mostly bad writing wise but the wardrobe, scenery and overall design was on point. As long as they know what went wrong in the first movie they can redeem themselves in mk2. Just forget about Cole Young, terrible Gary Stu character, he felt like a self insert.
Glen Powell would’ve been a great Johnny cage!!
He would of been good, I would of loved to see Scott Adkins in the role though. He's never gotten the break he deserves when it comes to main stream hollywood.
Mortal Kombat 1995 will always still be the best MK film regardless how hard these modern movies push to be.
Lewis Tan would’ve been the perfect kenshi but make him his own character I guess
He totally looks like Kenshi from MK1
I was gonna say Kenshi in MK1 actually made me double take to see if they used Lewis Tan's likeness
Can’t wait to see Shao Kahn
I think the first movie was incredibly underrated. Really excited for the second.
For a good reason because it was incredibly trash 🗑
@@amaterasu0929 I know what you were attempting to say, but the way you said it makes 0 sense.
I think the Miz playing Johnny Cage would have been…AWESOME!!!
I just hope they capture that first 15 minutes or so of the first movie, over the course of the entire movie. If they do that, it'll be fantastic
I loved this movie. Sometimes you just gotta watch it and have fun instead of analysing every pixel on the screen
Yeah and I bet you voted for joe biden.
It's decent as in being entertaining, the special effects were amazing too, but you don't have to pay that much attention to notice it kinda sucks in everything else 💀
i'd pick annhilation over the last mortal Kombat movie
As someone who liked it too I can say the action was mostly underwhelming even without overanalyzing, except for a few standout scenes.
I loved the new remake. Im a big mk fan so i support all games & movies/shows even fan made films. Lets go MK2😎Cant wait to see sub zero turn into Noob-Saibot & ermacs appearance 😭🔥
I enjoyed the MK movie; it was head & shoulders above the 90's version.
I was hoping for the Miz as Johnny cage and John Cena as striker
Scott Adkins will always be my Johnny Cage. Can't believe they picked anyone else.
I think this was a good movie only thing I was mad about they killed off Kung Lao
The first one was a great movie and I have high expectations for The entire cast
.
I need more Mortal Kombat in my life.
Really
Kano , Sub Zero , Scorpion, Kung Lao were great in the first one. I hope Lui Kang has more of a lead role in number 2 and Raiden needs to look more imposing. Not a fan of the new character but if he becomes the next scorpion might be ok.
Can't wait to see the new set of villains i hope to see the robots and hope to see the tournament in this one
It sounds good can't wait to see the trailer
I think the world of Mortal Kombat is so vast that you just can't do it justice in a movie format. Not really anyway. I think a series would be the best way to about bring Mortal Kombat to life in live-action. Not only would a series format allow time for the story and characters to fully develop, but there's also less restrictions. Even R rated movies have a limit to what they can get away with. TV and streaming shows can get away with showing a lot of more blood and gore than a movie can.
Karl has a wide range of acting and characters I think he'll do amazing as Johnny
But he can't fight. Same problem with like 95 percent of the cast. So I guess it doesn't matter for real.
Super stoked about this.
Just keep it original and with fatalities...we fans love dat...dats our MORTAL KOMBAT 💯
My top pick for Johnny was Charlie Cox
I just want a consistent easy to follow story line throughout. Not all over the place like the last movie
