Mortal Kombat: 10 Actors The Reboot Needs

9. Jason Momoa - Night Wolf

No actor on this list so closely resembles their video game counterpart as Jason Momoa does for Night Wolf. Given how poorly he was depicted in Mortal Kombat: Annihliation ("That's my animality!"), it's time for us to take the character seriously, and what better way than to cast Momoa, who has made his hulking, imposing physical presence known in the likes of Game of Thrones and the Conan reboot? He so closely resembles Night Wolf already that the make-up department will have an easy time with Momoa; deck him out in some half-way Native American garb and you're set. While many might assume, going by Conan, that he's just a vacuous lug of an actor, Momoa has proven on Game of Thrones that he's also got the acting chops to go along with the look, as long as the script is right, of course. This is one casting choice they cannot afford to miss.
