WWE Star To Feature In Major Movie Franchise?

Is there a chance that former WWE Champion and current WWE Raw Superstar The Miz stars in a potential upcoming Mortal Kombat film?

In a recent interview with Looper, The Miz spoke about his desire to play Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 2. While Cage didn’t feature in the first film, a future appearance was teased for a subsequent sequel during one of the final scenes.

The Miz said that he’s going to do “everything in (his) power to hopefully get that part”, saying:

“All of a sudden, I see my name associated with Johnny Cage, just flipping through. And it’s not negative, and it’s all positive. And normally, when I’m in a Twitter feed, it’s negative, 100%, all the time. But man, was it positive, and, man, were a lot of my fans wanted me, even people, even my peers, even the co-creator of Mortal Kombat was like, ‘Yeah, we’d love to see The Miz as Johnny Cage’. And honestly, that would be a dream come true, and I would put everything I possibly have into that character and make sure that it gives the Mortal Kombat fans the Johnny Cage they deserve.

“I will do everything in my power to hopefully get that part if the opportunity presents itself. I don’t know if it will, but if it does, I’m putting my name in the hat; I want the part. So, whatever I must do to get it, I will do. I will put forth the entire, I have an immense work ethic, and whatever it takes, I will be there to try and do it. And if I don’t get it, that’s okay too. But I hope the person that gets it will put in the same amount of work and dedication and give the fans exactly what they want because I know what I want out of Johnny Cage. I really do. I love the game. I’ve loved it since I played it on Sega Genesis, wouldn’t play it on Super Nintendo, only Sega Genesis.”

The Miz is set to now have a lot of free times on his hands, as the former WWE Champion is believed to have torn his ACL during his controversial lumberjack match at WrestleMania Backlash with Damian Priest.
