So many fans are loving New Line’sMortal Kombat red band trailerso much that it’s become the biggest red band trailer of all-time, surpassing the popularity previously seen byLoganandDeadpool 2. Reportedly, the trailer trended in 52 total markets in YouTube and 28 total markets on Twitter with a 98% Positive-to-Neutral social sentiment rating. The social media tracker RelishMix also claims the viral reposting rate for theMortal Kombattrailer is a whopping 47:1 ratio.

It’s not surprising to see such a positive response to the trailer, as this is theMortal Kombatreboot fans have been waiting for. With so many fan favorites seen in the trailer, like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Raiden, the movie seems to be a rather faithful adaptation to the video game series. With a hard R rating, we know that the fatalities are also going to be brutal as they’ve come to be expected to be in the video game series.

Perhaps the biggest gripe some fans had with the trailer is the apparent lack ofJohnny Cage. Though Johnny has been one of the main characters of the series starting with the very first video game, he is nowhere to be seen in theMortal Kombattrailer. The fighter’s name was trending on social media soon after the trailer’s release as fans across the world were asking where Johnny Cage was hiding. There are theories that he’s been saved for a surprise appearance in the movie.

With no Johnny Cage in sight as of now, many wrestling fans have called for WWE Champion The Miz to play the cocky character in the potentialMortal Kombatsequel. Noticing the attention he was getting from fans, the wrestler tweeted forMortal Kombatto “call my agent.” This led to many more WWE fans feeling thatMiz actually makes for a great casing choicefor Johnny Cage. Still, there’s no indication Miz or anyone else has been approached for the role, or if he’ll end up appearing inMortal Kombat.
