The creators of Mortal Kombat 2021 have hinted that the next instalment will focus on the Johnny Cage character. Since this is the case, there have been inquiries into who will be cast as Cage in the next release.
As director Simon McQuoid agrees, the Johnny Cage character is so big that it deserves its own film focused on him. Professional wrestler The Miz has shown interest in playing the character and Screen Rant reports that co-creator Ed Boon is supporting him for the role. However, for a standalone film, it is difficult to see how The Miz will ensure its success without having a host of other characters to cover for him.
We look at 20 Hollywood stars that can play the role of Johnny Cage in the next Mortal Kombat film:
1. Zack Efron
2. Chris Hemsworth
3. Shia LaBeouf
4. Henry Cavill
5. Robert Pattinson
6. Ryan Gosling
7. Liam Hemsworth
8. Hayden Christensen
9. Channing Tatum
10. Nicholas Hoult
11. Garret Hedlund
12. Jack O’Connell
13. Chace Crawford
14. Ben Barnes
15. Jesse Williams
16. Thomas Brodie-Sangster
17. Kit Harrington
18. Jake Gyllenhaal
19. Richard Madden
20. Chris Evans
