Even though the fresh release of a new live-action reimagining of Mortal Kombat was encountered with a favorable reaction from viewers, the most talked about was one that did not even seem in the movie. The smug Hollywood starfighter Johnny Cage was noticeable by his non-appearance and only presented up from the neck down in print after the film as a teaser for a sequel. The co-writer of Mortal Kombat, Greg Russo, clarified that exertion was made to make Cage’s poster an appropriately significant pact for the spectators.
The ending needed to be different
When it comes to creating films out of reputable franchises, it can be tough to toe the line betweenfanservice and storytelling. The squad behind Mortal Kombat has sustained that Johnny Cage was always intended to not display in the first film but would take on a prominent role in any potential sequels. According to Russo, the conclusion of Mortal Kombat could have gone much inversely, with Cole and Sonya go to Warner Bros. studio to employ Cage.
