No, the rule of thumb is when you start a new movie franchise that could go on a number of years due to potential sequels, you cast actors who are relatively young (and by that I mean 25-35 or so) for most of the leads so they don't look ancient by the time we get 3-4+ movies if the franchise is successful.

Casting a guy who is pushing 50 for Johnny Cage just doesn't fit, especially if MK becomes a successful movie franchise. We don't want "60 year old man Cage" fighting alongside Sonya...who I don't know how old the actress is, but I can't imagine her being older than her early 30's.

EDIT: Looked her up and she was born in 1986...so she's around 33-34.
