Ok, here is a topic that has probably been done to death over the past year, but with MK3 entering production, it is hard not to get caught up in the hysteria. If Larry Kasanoff came up to you and placed the responsibility of casting for the third movie in your hands, who would you choose. I know there is a low of names being thrown around, making this topic redundant, but here is mine. A disclaimer is that I have based the events of the third movie on Deadly Alliance. I reckon MK4 lacked a sufficient storyline with real depth, while Tanya's omission is due to the lack of Edenia in MK:DA. This would be my choice of actors, but obviously some characters would be omitted because 23 characters is too many for the movie.
