For convenience's sake, we've compiled every wicked warrior so far who has an actor attached . To date, we've got a Power Ranger, an Asgardian Thor-rior, Jimmy Olsen, and a hyper-violent Raid star (not playing RAID-en though). Check it out...Mehcad Brooks (Desperate Housewives, The Game) -- who's set to leave his role as Jimmy Olsen on The CW's Supergirl sometime during the show's upcoming fifth season -- has been tapped to play Super Soldier Jax Briggs, a Special Forces officer with cybernetically-enhanced arms and a steely (get it?) nature.Previously, Jax was played by Gregory McKinney and Lynn Williams in the two live-action films from the '90s.Chin Han (The Dark Knight, Marco Polo) has been tapped to play ultimate Mortal Kombat baddie, Liu Kang's arch-nemesis, and soul-sucking warlock - Shang Tsung. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa played Shang Tsung in the 1995 film.GET OVER HERE!Hiroyuki Sanada (Lost, Westworld, Avengers: Endgame) will play the hell-bound ninja Hanzo Hasashi - aka Scorpion - who's determined to seek revenge with his sharp Kunai-tipped chains. Chris Casamassa and J.J. Perry played the role previously.He may not have lasted long as the Warriors Three's Hogun while facing down Cate Blanchett's Hela in Thor: Ragnarok, but Tadonobu Asano's gotten an upgrade in Mortal Kombat, landing the role of Raiden, the non-Asgardian God of Thunder.As a celestial being with his glowing eyes always on the big picture, Raiden can control lighting as well as teleport. Christopher Lambert portrayed Raiden in the 1995 film while James Remar filled in for the sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.Newcomer Sisi Stringer will play Mileena, the evil clone of Kitana who wishes nothing more than to slay her "sister." With feline eyes and a twisted fanged face (thanks to her diabolical DNA) Mileena is a lethal lass with sinister sai skills and an almost unparalleled penchant for death-dealing. Mileena was previously played by Dana Hee in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.Ludi Lin, who you can catch in the 2017 Power Rangers film and in the Black Mirror episode "Striking Vipers," will play central hero Liu Kang, one of Earth's most powerful and capable warriors. As the main character for most incarnations and stories within the Mortal Kombat franchise, Liu Kang is the nemesis of inter-dimensional sorcerer Shang Tsung.Robin Shou played Kang in both '90s Mortal Kombat movies.Renowned martial artist, and James Wan player, Joe Taslim (The Raid, Fast & Furious 6, The Night Comes for Us) will slip into the glacial gear of Sub-Zero, one of the franchise's most icily iconic characters. We don't know at this time which Sub-Zero Taslim is playing -- either Bi-Han or younger brother Kuai Liang -- but both are cruel Cryomancers, capable of controlling ice. Previously, Sub-Zero was played by Francois Petit and Keith Cooke.Australia's Josh Lawson (House of Lies) is in negotiations to don the metal half-mask and become Kano - the merciless mercenary leader of crime cartel The Black Dragon. An arms dealer with a cybernetic heart, Kano is a killer through and through.JAG's Trevor Goddard played Kano in 1995's Mortal Kombat.Another Aussie actor close to joining the Kombat krew is The Meg's Jessica McNamee, who's circling the Sonya Blade role - the tough as nails General of Earth's special ops forces on a mission to thwart extra-dimensional invaders. Her nemesis? Kano. The man who murdered her former partner.Bridgette Wilson (Last Action Hero, I Know What You Did Last Summer) played Sonya in the 1995 movie while Sandra Hess tagged in for Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.Lewis Tan (Deadpool 2, and more recently of Netflix's Wu Assassins) is in final talks to play a yet-to-be-named role.
