With 2021's Mortal Kombat reboot teasing the presence of Johnny Cage in the sequel, fans immediately began speculating who might be cast in such an iconic role.

And last year, The Boys' Karl Urban was confirmed to be playing the egomaniacal martial artist movie star.

While Urban might seem like a more natural fit for the vulgar Kano, who was nevertheless played quite brilliantly by Josh Lawson in the previous film, Urban's sheer magnetic charisma as an actor and gruff badassery should make him a snug fit for Johnny Cage.

Urban may not be a vaunted martial artist, but he'll absolutely bring the requisite humour and ass-kicking qualities required to do the part justice, and then some. 

It's vitally important that Cage be a loveable a**hole, and given Urban's success playing the very same type on The Boys, there's no doubt whatsoever that he'll knock this part out of the damn park.
