Most of the original movie cast has been inactive with how long it's been, but him, I needn't point out with the role he serves now in MK11.

Btw, found some interesting history on what led up to Annihilation.

I'm annoyed of the constant shit that Hollywood pulls nowadays with changing established characters' gender or race. And lo and behold, the actress who is playing Mileena definitely doesn't have the same skin tone as the character. That, mixed with the main character being a made-up protagonist not even from the games annoys me as well. And the final thing (so far) for me is they're making my favorite character, Sub-Zero, into Shang's bitch which definitely never happened or would happen either. Bi-Han or Kuai Liang, either one.

All of that isn't to say that I won't watch the damn thing when it comes out and even enjoy it because I'm such a mark for the franchise that I love pretty much everything associated with it. It'd just be nice to see a movie or TV series of MK done right and all evidence is pointing towards this outing not being done right.
