A new fan art for Mortal Kombat 2 imagines Karl Urban's Johnny Cage, following reports the actor is currently in negotiations for the role.
Following reports that Karl Urban was in negotiations to join the Mortal Kombat 2 cast, a new fan art imagines his version of Johnny Cage. Currently known for his role as William “Billy” Butcher on The Boys, the New Zealand-born actor first came to international attention in the 1990s thanks to his role in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Famed fan artist Bosslogic has seized upon the recent news and has provided a taste of what his character could look like. Check the art out below: Sporting Cage’s iconic sunglasses and belt buckle featuring his own name, Urban looks every inch the part of the narcissistic martial artist from the original games. While it is not officially confirmed if Urban will join Mortal Kombat 2, producer Todd Garner has lent credence to the reports by retweeting the breaking news.
However, the decision by filmmakers to reportedly cast an actor as high profile as Urban for the role of Johnny Cage suggests a serious effort to rectify the first film’s oversight. With experience in some of the world’s largest cinematic franchises, including Lord of the Rings, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Star Trek, Urban’s involvement would prove a boon for Warner Bros.’ plans to build the property into a viable cinematic franchise of its own.
While Lewis Tan’s original character Cole Young was seen as an attempt by filmmakers to create a Johnny Cage substitute, bringing Urban in as the prominent character offers a great deal of storytelling potential. With the ending of Mortal Kombat teasing Cole’s quest to enlist the help of the Hollywood action star in the fight against Outworld, the stage is already set for Urban’s debut as the character.
