Mortal Kombat 2: Fans Split Over Johnny Cage’s Surprising Casting Choice!
The discussion started when journalist BrndnStrssng from Vulture and GQ, using Twitter, expressed his appreciation for Karl Urban but doubted if he’s suitable for the role of Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 2. He stated, “I like Karl Urban, but this casting is disastrous on a nuclear level.” He further added that if they were to choose an actor in his forties, it should have been Adkins. This viewpoint seems to be shared by many action and Mortal Kombat fans. WesLara commented, “I rarely support fan casting since people often focus on surface-level aesthetics, but I truly believe the Scott Adkins fan casting was a perfect fit and they couldn’t even manage that.” Brynbikes also agreed, stating, “Scott Adkins was ready for this role.” It seems that there’s something about Adkins that strongly resonates with the character of Johnny Cage.
