How's this for daily updates? According to Lynn Red William's website he will be a recurring character in Mortal Kombat 3: The Movie . His website also mentions to look for the return of Christopher Lambert as "Rayden". Just hearing that gives me enough faith that MK3 could be a killer blockbuster! Apparently this update to his site was made all the way back in August. The website also mentions we will see an end to a key character. Kinda brings back bad memories of Johnny Cage dieing right from the start of Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
