Mortal Kombat (1995) almost had a completely different Sonya Blade. Cameron Diaz was originally cast in the original Mortal Kombat movie before a wrist injury during martial arts training forced her out of the film, leading to Bridgette Wilson taking over the iconic role. In this video, we're breaking down the surprising story behind Cameron Diaz's lost Mortal Kombat role, how New Line Cinema originally cast her following The Mask, why the injury changed Mortal Kombat movie history, and the rare interview where she discusses leaving the film. We'll also compare Bridgette Wilson's performance, discuss whether Cameron Diaz would have returned for Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, revisit why the original Mortal Kombat remains one of the greatest video game movies ever made, and talk about how differently the franchise could have looked if one casting decision had gone another way. Did Mortal Kombat miss out by losing Cameron Diaz as Sonya Blade, or was Bridgette Wilson always the perfect choi
