There are quite a few lingering questions concerning the forthcoming New Line Mortal Kombat movie, but slowly, various minor details are coming together, despite the fact that its release date isn't until early 2021. Some of the cast and its actors, however, are being revealed over time, such as Sub-Zero, Raiden, Jackson 'Jax' Brings, Liu Kang, and Mileena. Now, the actors for Sonya Blade, Kano, and an undisclosed third role have also been announced.

Sonya Blade, the first female character in the Mortal Kombat video game franchise and general of Earthrealm Special Forces, will be played by The Meg and CHIPS (2017) actress Jessica McNamee per final negotiations. Kano, a member of the Black Dragon clan who has a long-running feud with Sonya Blade, will be played by House of Lies and Anchorman 2's Josh Lawson. With the casting of these two characters, it seems likely that their animosity will at least play a minor role in the movie.

In final negotiations to take on the role of a currently undisclosed lead character is Lewis Tan, who is best known for his roles in Netflix's Iron FistWu Assassins, and Deadpool 2. With it being a lead character, this seemingly points toward either MK's Scorpion or Kung Lao, but until there is an official announcement, we wouldn't bet on that.

Considering how little is currently known about the movie, it would be hard to guess which MK characters will be added next. Sonya Blade suggests that perhaps Johnny Cage will join, and the inclusion of Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero would suggest that a Scorpion casting is forthcoming. Yet, how many other characters ultimately join the cast is entirely up in the air.

Of course, knowing what actor is playing which character isn't quite like seeing that actor in character, and for that to happen, we would likely need to be closer to the Mortal Kombat movie release date. Until then, more characters will hopefully be revealed in the weeks to come.

New Line's Mortal Kombat movie is scheduled to release March 5, 2021.
