10 Dream Video Game Movie Castings We'd Die For
10. Johnny Cage - Brad Pitt
Johnny Cage was based off of Jean-Claude Van Damme, so surely if someone of similar age to him is going to be cast, then it may as well be him? Right?
Well, to be honest, while Van Damme may have been a major inspiration (or exact template, depending on who you ask) for Cage, as the character has been developed into more of a unique figure over the course of the Mortal Kombat games - he has become closer to another Hollywood actor, that being Brad Pitt.
Pitt would really be a (and you will see this sentiment a lot throughout this list) perfect choice to play Cage - his charisma and slightly too perfect face making for a good reflection of the character that MK fans know and love.
Furthermore, from what has been shown of his fight scenes with Mike Moh (who is playing Bruce Lee) in Tarantino's upcoming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Pitt seems more than able to believably convey someone who is good at martial arts, a must for a fighter such as Cage.
