Hello,
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...

This topic amazes me, because some suggestions, I really like. Others, I hate so much I'de love them to be people so I could beat the shit out of them. I'm not even kidding.


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.

well u gotta keep lambert cuz he was the first raiden

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

You contradict yourself by saying that Lambert has to be Rayden because he was the first Rayden, but then saying that Keanu Reeves should be Sub-Zero, etc, etc. I think Jeff Meek is BY FAR a much better actor.

Ill say:

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.

No, Blue Hell, the actor who played Scorpion in MKA was not Chris Cassamassa, and I have no idea where the hell you got that idea from.

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.

Elvis Tsui as Sektor.

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.

Notice how Kristanna Loken starred in both MK: Conquest (as Taja) and in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (as T-X). Why would that be if they didn't want to promote or relate to aspects for this liquid metal kunoichi type fighter? Probably a coincidence, but that's why I came up with the belief of this updated T-1000 tech, merging with the fighters fighting style.

Sub-Zero Scott Adkins

i said before, and i'll say it again i think it would be a perfect choice, and the fighting would look great. Plus i want an actor as close as possible to John Turk to portray Sub-Zero.
