In the Mortal Kombat games Cage is a clean cut, quick-witted action movie star whose vanity is matched only by his star-studded smile.

For Cage, I&#8217;m thinking Ryan Gosling&#8217;s Ken or Ryan Reynolds&#8217; Deadpool, without the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/karl-urban-reportedly-in-line-to-play-johnny-cage-in-mortal-kombat-2\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source &#8211; eurogamer.net<\/p>\n<p>All content and images belong to their respected owners.
