I find it strange how MKX manages to have such a good story mode and leave so many unanswered questions. From what I understand the comic isn't entirely in line with it and sometimes even directly contradicts parts of it. I haven't been that impressed with it since IMO it involves a lot of the writer dick-riding Scorpion (I know he's Ed Boon's favorite, but seriously, come on).

It would be wise of a new movie to incorporate some parts of the recent Mortal Kombat games. Maybe it could be an unofficial "requel" (remake/sequel) to the first Mortal Kombat movie and ignoring the second, like The Incredible Hulk did with The Hulk, where it's so ambigous that fans will be pleased whether they loved or hated the original movie and new fans who aren't familiar won't be lost.

I think this would work especially well if they do decide to go with the MKX crew and some of the characters who were in the original film, and they could also include younger examples of omitted characters to match it (I.E: A Kuai Liang Sub-Zero who's Cassie Cage's age, having been a child when Bi-Han was killed).

An idea I always found amusing that could apply here would be realistic reactions to Johnny Cage's in-universe attempts to make a movie out of his Mortal Kombat adventures. People would probably laugh off claims that it was inspired or even based on a true story and find him as narcissistic as someone like Charlie Sheen; he might have even funded it out of his own pocket like John Travolta did for Battlefield Earth and it could be compared to that. It could've possibly ruined his career and turned him into a laughing stock with sparse and meager roles, and put all this pressure on Cassie who has the "crazy washed up actor dad" who insists his fight with demons and monsters were real and nobody believes him until they experience it for themselves.
