Well even in his 50's, Ashby still looks enough like Johnny Cage, and he expressed here that he'd be happy enough to still reprise the role.

I see where you're coming from though, in which case, Matt Mullins might be the better choice now, as much as I hate to admit it. I'll forgive whatever actor they choose for Cage in general as long as he doesn't get killed off like in the Rebirth trailer or the beginning of Annihilation.

Agreed with the rest of what you said as well. Scorpion may be one of my top fan favorites, but that doesn't mean I would want a whole movie of just him being someone else's assassin.
