Johnny Cage Voice Actor Renews Mortal Kombat Speculation
Fans ponder possible MK game sequel.

Voice actor Andrew Bowen has reignited a wildfire of speculation with a video shared to social media from the Warner Bros lot. It's one of a series of posts that imply the Johnny Cage actor is working on something, but exactly what brought the actor there remains unknown. Details:

Bowen shared a similar video tweet in April and a photo last year [pictured in header], wearing sunglasses and a sheepish grin in both, but as IGN reports, the latest clip was deleted as soon as it began to fuel wider speculation. The reason for this is unspecified.

The April tweet included a fist emoji, explosion, and sunglasses smile, which could easily be interpreted as a sly reference to Mortal Kombat, but WB is also working on other projects, such as MultiVersus. CBR reports music from Mortal Kombat II music could be heard in the latest clip, but this could not be verified by MK Online at the time of writing.

NetherRealm Studios became a source for rampant speculation at the start of the year when a production manager shared a photograph of his desk including miscellaneous images from the developer's past projects, and computer filenames marked "MK12".

Chief Creative Officer Ed Boon has remarked that their next project will make sense once revealed. Responding to a fan on Twitter last month regarding expecting "something big soon", Boon offered a terse and decisive: "No".

Limited Edition DUST Collectibles Shinnok Amulet Replica
DUST delivers an exact duplicate!

Since Mortal Kombat 4 its been a symbol of ultimate power and now you can own your very own authentic replica of the Amulet of Shinnok! The limited edition merchandise is designed by DUST! Collectibles and it might just be good enough to fool Shinnok himself! Take a look:

Sold exclusively through Zavvi; Shinnok's Amulet is solid cast metal with an antique gold finish and replica gemstone. It features a game-inspired design adorned in details symbolizing the four natural elements and is 120mm diameter and 12mm thick. Limited to 500 pieces with a certificate of authenticity - ultimate power will set you back a reasonable $59.99.

The Amulet of Shinnok has passed through many hands since his banishment, granting the fallen Elder God's focused power to its wielder. It was once used by The Dragon King, and came into the possesion of Quan Chi when it was retrived by the elder Sub-Zero during the events of MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero, and duplicated by the sinister necromancer during MK4.

In more recent times, the amulet became a weapon in the struggle of the Outworld civil war during Mortal Kombat X, when it was stolen by Kano, and granted to Mileena, whose untrained hand struggled to control its incredible power. It was last seen in Mortal Kombat 11 under the personal guard of Raiden, who struggled with its corrupting influence.

Shinnok's amulet comes in a 190mm x 190mm x 38mm display box. How will you carry yours? Tell us your thoughts about the replica in the comments below and find & discuss more in the Media & Merchandise forum.

Iron Studios 1:10 Scale Klassic Sonya Blade Statue
Kiss off!

Sonya Blade has been kicking ass since day one of the first MK, and thirty years after her debut; Iron Studios is paying homage with a statue inspired by the lieutenant's klassic likeness in Mortal Kombat 3. Take a closer look:

Sonya takes a walk among the tombstones in the 1/10th scale statue, which brings to life both her "Kiss of Death" fatality, and a portion of the Graveyard arena -- complete with marking stones for Dan Forden and John Vogel. The statue base takes inspiration from the MK3 stage, adding detailed skulls and overgrown vegetation.


This handpainted polystone marvel weighs a meagre 1.5lbs and sits discretely at 8.2" high, 5.1" wide, and 5.1" deep. It can be pre-ordered online for $159.99, to ship sometime in the first quarter of 2023. At the time of writing it is unclear if the date of birth on Vogel's tombstone has been corrected.

The hits keep coming from Iron Studios who've already delievered MK3 final boss Shao Kahn, Goro, Raiden, and Scorpion. Where does Sonya rank in their efforts? Tell us about your thoughts & experiences in the comments below and find & discuss more in the Media & Merchandise forum!
