Simon McQuoid’s upcoming film based mostly on NetherRealm’s Mortal Kombat is filled with iconic characters from the franchise, however there are a number of apparent omissions that audiences are nonetheless ready to listen to extra about. Considered one of these, after all, is the smooth-talking Johnny Cage. As a central member of Lord Raiden’s hand-picked champions of Earthrealm, his full absence from any promotional materials or confirmed solid listings has prompted most to surmise that the fictional film star has been dropped for causes at present unknown.
Neither McQuoid nor producer Todd Garner have addressed the subject in interviews, main many to achieve the consensus that Lewis Tan’s Cole Younger is meant to fill the identical or an analogous function. After all, Kitana, the adopted daughter (not by alternative) of Outworld’s tyrannical ruler Shao Kahn, is one other well-liked fan favourite that the filmmakers have uncared for to say.
Extra on that in only a second, however for now, you’ll be able to try artist BossLogic’s imaginative and prescient of how Surprise Girl actress Gal Gadot might look because the kickass Edenian Princess within the gallery down beneath.
As for whether or not Kitana will finally make the minimize, we will solely assume so. Final month’s trailer already confirmed, in any case, that Mileena, a sadistic clone of the previous, will likely be current and performed by Sisi Stringer, and it’d make little sense to incorporate her and never the true deal, so to talk. That begs the query, then, of why Kitana has but to obtain any publicity in any way.
Sadly, we don’t have a solution to offer, although one clarification may very well be that she merely solely has a minor function in what might grow to be an ongoing collection, presuming subsequent month’s adaptation proves to be a success on the field workplace. Count on all to be revealed when Mortal Kombat releases on April 16th.
