10 Characters We Hope To See In James Wan's Mortal Kombat Movie

10 Characters We Hope To See In James Wan's Mortal Kombat Movie We don't know much about James Wan's live-action Mortal Kombat adaptation yet, but we're still hoping to see these characters on the big screen! James Wan was first brought on to produce a new live-action adaptation of the Mortal Kombat video game franchise over three years ago. Mortal Kombat was put on hold for a couple of years while he finished Aquaman, but it was recently announced that the film would begin filming in Australia for a 2021 release from director Simon McQuoid. This latest development has led many fans to begin speculating about which characters we might see in the upcoming adaptation, with franchise mainstays like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, Raiden, and Shang Tsung all likely to appear. So, today, without covering some of the obvious choices, we're going to look at 10 characters we hope to see in James Wan's Mortal Kombat. 10 CASSIE CAGE While it might at first seem...

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi

Darth Vader is confirmed to come back for the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series, but what other Star Wars characters are mostly like to appear?


10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi confirmed some details about the upcoming Disney+ streaming series in a new sizzle reel, including the official rematch of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. The new series will bring back both Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen from the prequel trilogy, and many other major Star Wars characters are likely to appear.

Given the timeframe of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which is set about 19 years before the events of A New Hope, a number of characters could appear. Some of them will be appearing in their own streaming series in the near future, possibly set at the same time, increasing the odds that they will crossover on some level with the iconic Jedi Master.

Confirmed

Obi-Wan Kenobi

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi's return is the whole reason for the new series, but the sizzle reel confirms some aspects about him that had been speculation up until this point.

It appears from the concept art that Obi-Wan will be much more grizzled and haggard than he was at the end of Revenge Of The Sith or A New Hope. It also appears that he will not remain exclusively on Tatooine for the series, leaving to other worlds either for a mission or out of desperation to avoid being discovered by Imperials and his purpose for being there, Luke Skywalker.

Darth Vader

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

One of the best scenes in Revenge Of The Sith is the dramatic duel on Mustafar between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. It seemed very unlikely a rematch would ever occur, but that's all but assured with the confirmation that Hayden Christensen is returning as Darth Vader.

How and why they duel again remains a mystery, but Vader hinted at this fight in Return Of The Jedi when he told Luke "Obi-Wan once thought as you do." Since Vader never discovered Luke on Tatooine, it's likely that he and Obi-Wan lock lightsabers on another world, with Obi-Wan escaping to return to the desert.

Uncle Owen

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

Joel Edgerton is confirmed to return as Uncle Owen in the new series, reprising the role from both Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith. The cantankerous uncle of Luke Skywalker didn't seem to like Obi-Wan Kenobi very much in the original Star Wars movie, and it's likely that fans will find out why in the new series.

Books and comics, all of which are classed as non-canon now, have made assertions as to why the two men don't get along. It's possible the series borrows some aspect of those original stories.

Aunt Beru

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

Bonnie Piesse is confirmed to return as Aunt Beru in the series. She was last seen holding the infant Luke Skywalker in Revenge Of The Sith, and also appeared in Attack Of The Clones.

Her estimation of Obi-Wan was more positive in the brief conversation she had with Owen in A New Hope about the old Jedi, but there is next to nothing known about their relationship. The series will likely provide some detail on how the Lars family grew to be wary of Obi-Wan Kenobi, despite the tremendous gift he gave them in Luke.

Luke Skywalker

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

While no actor has been announced for the part of a young Luke Skywalker, it is all but certain he will appear. Given the fact that Owen and Beru will play roles in the series, Luke will, too.

Luke Skywalker would be the same age as his father was when he first appeared chronologically in The Phantom Menace. This makes for a nice bit of symmetry for the story, and what will likely be some agonizing moments for Obi-Wan. Though Luke Skywalker would become one of the most powerful Jedi, it was certainly a long, hard road getting there.

Most Likely To Appear

Inquisitors

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

The sizzle reel features a tantalizing glimpse of what appear to be Inquisitors. The Inquisitors were established in some of the best episodes of Star Wars: Rebels as the elite fighting force the Empire uses to hunt down Jedi.

It makes perfect sense that these Dark Side users would be on the trail for Obi-Wan Kenobi, the most high-value target for the Empire outside of Yoda. It's likely the Inquisitors fail in their mission to capture or kill Kenobi, though, since fans already know that the Lord of the Sith himself is going to appear.

Cassian Andor

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi is an active agent of the Rebellion at this point, and if he leaves Tatooine, it's likely he will need the help of other Rebel agents. One of the most likely Rebels he could encounter is Cassian Andor. Cassian was very active as a spy and even assassin in the Rebellion from a young age, as he revealed to Jyn Erso, making him a likely contact for Obi-Wan off-world.

Cassian is returning in Andor, his own streaming series, which will also be set in the time prior to Rogue One and A New Hope, making it even more likely he could make an appearance.

Princess Leia

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi's mission is to protect Luke Skywalker, but if he leaves the planet, there is a fair chance his paths could cross with Princess Leia. Obi-Wan's primary contact in the Rebellion seems to be Senator Bail Organa, her adoptive father, and Obi-Wan's reason for leaving Tatooine - which would have to be significant - could take him to Alderaan.

It's unlikely she plays a major part in the series, but it would be interesting for fans to see the young princess, who like her brother, would be about nine or 10 years old.

Qi'ra

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

There are a number of places Qi'ra could appear in live-action in the future, and Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of them. The series takes place around the time of Solo: A Star Wars Story, meaning that if the Jedi Master crosses paths with the criminal underworld of the galaxy in any way, Qi'ra could be among the people he encounters.

Depending on the timing, Qi'ra could still be the lieutenant of Dryden Vos or she could be the nominal head of Crimson Dawn under Darth Maul. Either has intriguing possibilities not just for her character, but Obi-Wan as well.

Ahsoka Tano

10 Characters Confirmed & Most Likely To Appear In Star Wars ObiWan Kenobi

Another agent of the Rebellion active at this time, and one Obi-Wan Kenobi is familiar with, is Ahsoka Tano. During this period, she was Fulcrum, a secret agent who acted as a go-between for isolated cells of Rebel activity. She could very well be the person who Obi-Wan turns to after he leaves Tatooine, and her appearance would make a lot of narrative and thematic sense.

As Obi-Wan approaches another duel with Darth Vader, the perspective of the former master and student of Anakin Skywalker will likely be key to the series and her journey.

10 Characters From The Witcher That Deserved Better In Season 1

10 Characters From The Witcher That Deserved Better In Season 1 Netflix's The Witcher has many characters who are just plain lucky but there's a host of others that deserved so much better in season 1. Take a look. The Witcher is already one of Netflix's hottest shows, racking up millions of views since it was first added to the streaming platform in December of 2019.

10 Characters That Are Inexplicably Absent In Twin Peaks Season 3

10 Characters That Are Inexplicably Absent In Twin Peaks Season 3 Twin Peaks has a sizable cast. While these characters played an important role prior to season 3, they were inexplicably absent from it. Twin Peaks took living rooms by storm when it premiered in April, 1990. Unfortunately, some of that thunder slowed down in the show's second season, prompting its cancellation despite a shocking cliffhanger. Only twenty-five years later did a third season bring most of the essential players back together to continue one of the most enigmatic and fascinating stories ever told through the medium. Not everybody returned, however, leaving many characters' actions during this time a mystery. While some extended universe literature sheds light on some Twin Peak's residences, the show's third season makes almost no mention of the following characters. 10 Leo Johnson Those who hated Leo Johnson's cruel and abusive treatment towards Shelly must have delighted in seeing him to...

10 Characters From The Office Who Deserved Better

10 Characters From The Office Who Deserved Better In NBC's The Office, there is the core cast (Michael, Jim, Dwight, etc.), but also well-written minor characters. Here are 10 who deserved better. In television, not all characters are created or written equally. When The Office premiered on NBC in 2005, the show was revered for its strongly featured and witty, well-written supporting cast. Although there were the core players (Michael, Jim, Dwight, Pam, and Ryan), there was an immediate sense of comedic equality when it came to the background characters of Angela, Phyllis, Kevin, etc. As the series drew to a close after nine seasons, we noticed not all minor roles were developed or treated how they deserved to be. Some were written off abruptly, some slandered by their coworkers, and others were just plain ignored and left to fend for themselves. Here are 10 characters who deserved far better treatment and endings than what they were given. 10 Meredith Palmer Throughout the series,...
