AMortal Kombatactor has confirmed the return of their iconic character in the sequel – but won’t say much else about his forthcoming role.
“I have no idea what to say,” Sanada said when asked about whether Scorpion would face off against Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage in the sequel. “Yeah, I’ve just finished shooting in Australia.”
While many would have assumed Sanada would return as Scorpion – especially given how the first movie gave him an ‘in’ to return for any future tournaments – he had not been confirmed to be part of the Mortal Kombat 2 cast.
Instead, we got news of newcomers – including the aforementioned Johnny Cage and hisincredibly obnoxious wardrobe choices.
Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage is joined by a whole host of new kombatants, including – deep breath – Tati Gabrielle (Uncharted) as Jade, Adeline Rudolph (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) as Kitana, Martyn Ford (F9) as Shao Kahn, Desmond Chiam (Falcon and The Winter Soldier) as King Jerrod, Damon Herriman (Justified) as Quan Chi, C.J. Bloomfield (Furiosa) as Baraka, and Ana Thu Nguyen (One Night) as Sindel.
