Mortal Kombat 2: 10 Actors Who Could Play Johnny Cage

Although fans may love him, it's easy to see how Johnny Cage is - in layman's terms - a douchebag. His arrogance and lack of concern for anyone but himself make him fun to watch, but not someone you'd ever want to hang out with

Therefore, whoever played him would need to walk a fine line between likability and irritation. You only need to watch a few episodes of Community to see that Joel McHale would be right for the job.

McHale oozes charisma, thanks to his confident energy and conventional good looks. Still, there's also something slightly darker behind him, as his characters always come across as douchebags, even when they aren't supposed to be. This is likely down to the fact that he has a vibe of authority that always translates as arrogance.

Thanks to this quality, he'd be a solid choice for the part, and his comedy skills would undoubtedly help him to make Johnny a memorable part of the movie.

He has even stepped into the world of MK before in the animated movie Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge, where he voiced none other than Johnny Cage himself, proving his connection to the role.
