Mortal Kombat Producers Have Reportedly Approached Ryan Reynolds For Sequel
As soon as Ryan Reynolds acknowledged the support from
Mortal Kombat fans to see him play Johnny Cage and used it to his advantage by promoting his Mint Mobile service being named as 2021’s best cellphone plan by U.S. News & World Report, it was inevitable that talk would begin circulating about the actor showing up in the flesh to portray the beloved video game character.
The very last shot of Simon McQuoid’s reboot set the console franchise’s resident Hollywood star up for a major role in the sequel, and there’ve been several candidates floated already, including James Marsden. Reynolds is one of the least likely, though, given his jam-packed schedule that sees him with four movies in the can awaiting release over the next year, and another eight having been officially announced or lingering in various stages of development.
