The Rock's Perfect Mortal Kombat Movie Role Is Already Impossible

screenrant.com:

There are quite a few characters that Dwayne «The Rock» Johnson could play in the world of Mortal Kombat, but the most suitable one is already impossible. Decades after Mortal Kombat: Annihilation obliterated the chances of a long-running cinematic Mortal Kombat series, 2021 saw video games’ most famous warriors get a second chance on the big screen. Now that a sequel to Mortal Kombat has been confirmed, audiences can’t help but wonder about the characters and actors they would like to see in Mortal Kombat 2.

After Dwayne Johnson revealed that he would be involved in a brand-new video game adaptation, fans of the actor began to imagine all the game characters that The Rock could play — even the most unlikely ones. While The Rock was obviously not referring to Mortal Kombat, many would wish to see him get involved in the Netherrealm universe. It would not be the first time The Rock has starred in a video game adaptation, as Rampage brought the eponymous arcade game to the big screen.

If The Rock ever stepped into the world of Mortal Kombat, there would be no better choice of character for him to play than Goro. This casting would work not only because Dwayne Johnson is almost as big as a Shokan, but also because it could amend The Rock's infamous Scorpion King role. The humorously atrocious CG character in The Mummy Returns was a milestone in the early days of The Rock's acting career, and to this day the role is remembered with good humor by the actor. Although Dwayne could pull off a practical version of Mortal Kombat's Goro, seeing the actor's face placed on top of yet another CG character decades after The Mummy Returns would be a fun sight.
