According to Greg Russo, the writer of the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot, the movie still has plenty character announcements left in the chamber, including a special Johnny Cage reveal. Taking to Twitter, Russo recently assured fans that while he understands the concerns that some characters haven't been announced yet, it's not because they are being replaced or forgotten about. Rather, the time simply hasn't come yet for them to be announced. Further, Russo and co. want to make sure each announcement does said character justice.

"I understand some fans are concerned that certain characters haven't been announced. Let me assure you that there's a plan in place for everyone. Has been for some time. No one will be replaced and no one will be forgotten. It's about making sure we do them proper justice!"

Replying to fans, Russo revealed that there's "big plans" for Johnny Cage. Meanwhile, the writer also noted Kitana is his favorite character and that he could never forget Motaro, suggesting they will both be in the movie as well.

Of course, there's going to be plenty more reveals than just the ones teased above, but as Russo says, Mortal Kombat fans just need to be patient. Unfortunately, the writer doesn't provide any ETA on the next batch of casting reveals, but with the show filming right now there's a good chance we could get some soon.
