Johnny Cage’s Movie Exclusion Sparks Outrage Among Mortal Kombat Fanbase

Fans of the Mortal Kombat franchise are expressing disappointment and frustration over the exclusion of Johnny Cage, a beloved character, from the upcoming movie.

Many fans argue that his absence diminishes the movie’s potential and fails to do justice to the iconic character. The debate continues as fans eagerly await the release of the film..

Warner Bros. released the official trailer for Mortal Kombat earlier today (its Russian trailer was leaked online before that), and while the fans were excited because the trailer promises a decent flick, there was a noticeable lack of Johnny Cage in the trailer. This seems to indicate that Cage won’t be part of the reboot. We saw major characters like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Sonya Blade and Liu Kang, but no Cage.

Cage was one of the original fighters in the very first Mortal Kombat arcade game, and the character was based on Jean-Claude Van Damme. He was also a major character in the 1995 film, so his absence is certainly felt.

Why No Johnny Cage?

A simple reason that Cage isn’t appearing in this could be due to the addition of a new character, Cole King (played by Lewis Tan). Tan is well-versed in Martial Arts, and has taken on prominent roles in shows like Wu Assassins and Into the Badlands. He seems to be the protagonist of the film, and as a newcomer, this allows the audience to navigate the world with him, providing context for those who aren’t familiar with the space of Mortal Kombat.

This sort of fills the role that Cage would have played, and thus filmmakers might have decided that the character wasn’t needed in this one. Of course, this is not to say that he might not show up in a smaller capacity in the film, and this was just not revealed in the trailer.

I guess we will only find out when the film is released April 16, 2021.

Warner Bros. has released the official trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie, but fans were disappointed by the absence of the character Johnny Cage. Cage, who was one of the original fighters in the game and a major character in the 1995 film, was not featured in the trailer. However, it is speculated that his absence may be due to the addition of a new character, Cole King, played by Lewis Tan. Tan’s character seems to fill the role that Cage would have played, allowing newcomers to the Mortal Kombat world to navigate the story. Only time will tell if Cage will make an appearance in the film, which is set to be released on April 16, 2021.
