The MIZ will play Johnny Cage in sequel


confirmed

Who is the MIZ?

reply

He's a WWE wrestler.

reply

You say it's confirmed, but do you have a source?

reply

They couldn't have picked a worse person for Johnny Cage. Miz can't even wrestle well but we're supposed to expect him to be an on-screen expy of Jean Claude Van Damme?

Yeesh.

Expect lots of quick-cuts, stand-ins and plenty of camera tricks to cover for his lack of agility and flexibility.

Oh come on now, The MIZ is awesome in the MArine and MR and MRS. You a Cena fan? Every time i see Fast 9 trailer with Cena in it, i nod.



reply

Cena and Miz are two different beasts. Cena looks awesome on-screen, like a real-life action figure turned into a human action hero. He's cool, and even though Fast 9 looks stupid, I will watch it for Cena.

Miz? Miz wasn't even that great in The Marine, and his fight scenes looked pretty lame in that.

I stand by my previous comment that John Morrison would have been a far better pick for Johnny Cage, he has the cockiness, the look, the physique and the agility to pull off being a believable martial artist that mimics Jean-Claude.

The Miz? The MIZ?! LOLOLOL... no, just no.

The Miz hasn't even been in one memorable wrestling match, and if so please point me to it where it gives you the impression he could play Johnny Cage.

reply

When he beat Cena for the championship

reply

Wasn't that the one Wrestlemania where most people said the main event was terrible?

reply

So go with a guy based on the fact that his wrestling persona is vaguely similar to Johnny Cage? Meh

reply

You're still around? You were that Halloween 9 guy on IMDb. Elton John's Halloween score was the best since Carpenter. ;) Tell Damien Cain and Kurt Loader (sic) I said hi. And Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain. ;)

As far as who should actually play Johnny Cage, getting the real JCVD could be cool, but probably won't happen. Or Jason David Frank. They'd probably opt for somebody reasonably big.

reply

Elton John would have done a great score.

I see only one guy who can play cage and that is..Jon Berthnal

reply

Don’t believe anything this moron says, guys.

reply

This is completely untrue and not confirmed at all, Plus the studio is only looking for a-list actors to play the part.

reply

The MIz is already filming, he got eaten by Zombies on WWE PPV on Sunday so he will take time off to film

reply

He won't be cast in this. He is not a talented or admired-enough superstar to create buzz over his casting unless you are below 14 years old. I mean that sincerely

I also mean it sincerely when I say that I feel pity for you that you chose to stake your claim as a film journalist apriori in evaluation of your username, yet apparently cannot provide accurate journalistic content. You should not make threads that involve breaking news IMO, you suck at it

reply

I beg your pardon?

reply

The Miz could work maybe
