I've always been fascinated by those threads about who should really play the MK characters in the movies, but for some reason or another, I always find that thread is off in some way or another. So I just wanted to post my ideas of who would be best suited for the specific roles and I hope to recieve some feedback and or criticism.
so... without further a do, here goes:
Raiden: Christopher Lambert
Liu Kang: Robin Shou, Jason Scot Lee
Johnny Cage: Linden Ashby, Ben Afleck
Sonya Blade: Natasha Henstridge, Camron Diaz
Jackson Briggs: Morice Chessnut, Lynn Williams
Kitana: Sandrine Holt
Jade: Sanaa Lathan
Scorpion: Chris Cassamassa, J.J. Perry, anybody reaally
Sub Zero: Jet Li
Shao Khan: Clancy Brown
Quan Chi: Brian Thomson
More to come...
Raiden: Christopher Lambert - I think there are better people out there for the role of Rayden...one of them being Jeff Meek.
Liu Kang: Robin Shou, Jason Scot Lee - Yap.
Johnny Cage: Linden Ashby, Ben Afleck - 100% with u on this.
Sonya Blade: Natasha Henstridge, Camron Diaz - Dont remember who Natasha is, Cameron Diaz as Sonya would suck. Mortal Kombat is not a romantic comedy.
Jackson Briggs: Morice Chessnut, Lynn Williams - Lynn Williams was OK, never heard of this Morice guy.
Kitana: Sandrine Holt - Nevah heard of her.
Jade: Sanaa Lathan - Never heard of her.
Scorpion: Chris Cassamassa, J.J. Perry, anybody reaally - I agree, though Cassamassa already has the Scorpion feeling to him, so I'de like it better if he'de return as him.
Sub Zero: Jet Li - SubZero looks american when unmasked. When masked, you cant really see his face, but you can see Asian eyes. And Subby isn't really that much of an important character. Jet Li? How about, uh, no?
Shao Khan: Clancy Brown - I never heard of Clancy Brown, but I can tell u this: It's Shao Kahn, not Shao Khan.
Quan Chi: Brian Thomson - Never have I disagreed with something so very much. Quan Chi is pure evil. Brian 'Thomson' is a wrestler look-a-like with bad acting skillz.
jax - wesley snipes
quan chi - steven dorff (deacon frost from blade)
liu kang - robin shou (he is who i picture as liu)
kitana - natalie portman (i am a retard because i thought that was who played her at first)
sub zero - keanu reeves
johnny cage - arnold schwarzeneggar(if he can have an american accent) or possibly brad pitt(have any of you seen snatch?)
shao kahn - vin deisel (i said this before somewhere else)
kano - jason statham (the italian job, snatch, the transporter)
mavado - jet li
sonya - (aaahh i cant think of a tough blonde chick)
li mei - lucy liu
kung lao - jackie chan
that is my idea
If they carry a sword and I haven't been formally introduced, I get shy
Scorpion: The guy who played him in the first movie was amazing!!!! In MKA who ever played him was Ok, but I liked the acting of the Scorpion in the first movie much better.
Sonya: I REALLY REALLY like Sandra and Bridgtte. If they bring Sandra Hess back ill be pleased, but have her act like the tough Sonya of the first movie. Or that woman that is rumored to play her. Hudson something, shes the villian in Xenas series and is so damm HOT!
Sub-Zero: Same as Scorpion.
Johnny Cage: I would love to see Lindey Ashby back, or even the guy who played Neo in the matrix would be good! But the original cage was exelent!
Kitana: If they dont make Talisa Toso fight like the woman who played Mileena in MKA or make her fight GOOD, change her, even though I like her anyways.
Rayden: Christopher Lamber 100%.
Shang Tusng: The guy of the first movie.
Kano: Original.

2. Jax - Micheal Jai White (Spawn, Exit Wounds, Universal Soldier: The return)
3. Scorpion - guy from 1st movie
4. Sub - from 1st movie
5. Sonya - Peta Wilson (chick from Le Femme Nikita series)
6. Kahn - the guy who played him in MK:Conquest
7. Jade - Kelly Hu (Scorpion King and X2)
8. Mavado - Marc Dacasscas (The Crow tv series and Cradle 2 the Grave)
9. Kung Lao - Jet Li
10. Cage - Linden Ashby
11. Kano - Jason Statham
12. Frost - Natalie Portman
13. Kintaro - Michael Clarke Duncan (Kingpin from "Daredevil")
someone finally agrees with me
jason statham would make a great kano
i think my choices were good... but im always open to new decisions!
who the hell is lindey ashby?

Well not all cus I just found out about the sad news with the Kano actor :(
But u kno what I mean....
Rayden- Lambert (annoying voice, but amazingly kewl)
Liu- Chou (he IS Liu)
Kitana- Soto! (of course..make her lose her clothes this time)
Sonya- Wilson (shes full of herself but still the best)
Shang Tsung- (Ist movie bloke)
Quan Chi- That bald bloke off xmen (ok that was just a filler suggestion)


and to whoever said the swartzenager should play cage....

Actors roles that reminded me of MK characters. Some appellations I would of liked to seen as a basis for fighters, that are from films:
Liu Kang - Dragon Lee (Moon Kyoung-Seok).
Goro - Bolo Yeung.
Kobra - Thomas Ian Griffith.
Shang Tsung - James Hong.
These names are attempting to capture the essence of the fighter, even though who I chose in this cast are now old-fashioned and outdated.


Are you Quan Chi in disguise? You brought back a thread that's been dead for 12 years!! Incredible.

Here are a couple more.
Tanya - Patricia Velasquez.

... here's your Subzero, now plain zero.
Chow Yun-fat as SZ, either one but his skill levels and age may be more suited to the eldest brother: Noob Saibot.
Stephen Chow as Kung Jin or Shujinko.
Richard Woo as as an older Kung Lao.
Uma Thurman as Sonya
Arnold Vosloo as Ermac/King Jerrod
Milla Jovovich as Nitara
A controversial one: Seann William Scott as Johnny.
