Andrew Bowen, the actor played Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat X and MK12, recently posted a video of himself on the Warner Bros. Studios lot.

Of course, Bowen could be visiting WB for any number of reasons but the background music he plays in the video could add further credence to the long-running MK12 rumors.

The music in question is a six-second snippet from Mortal Kombat 2’s original soundtrack. Voice over from the OST is heard in Bowen’s video, as well: “Every deadly technique. It’s savage combat.”

The reboot’s success set the stage for the franchise to rise to the top once more. As a whole, the brand has sold more than 73 million units worldwide.
