At the Summer TCA Press Tour to promote his new Magyver reboot on CBS, James Wan also touched on the Mortal Kombat reboot in addition to dishing on his Aquaman plans. Said Wan, "
It's still cooking away. With that particular project, that's a really cool property that I loved growing up as a kid. Besides the game, even the movies as well, I kind of enjoyed them for what they are."
Head over to our sister site,
GameFragger.com to read more from Wan on his plans for the reboot and what old-school martial arts flick he likens the film to.
With Wan busy at work on Aquaman, it stands to reason that he won't have a ton of time to devote to Mortal Kombat. With him in the producer role, it will be interesting to see who he hires to lead development on the project. Perhaps David F. Sandberg, who's directing Anabelle 2 and who just had a successful debut with Lights Out ( a film that Wan produced)?
