Ahead of its simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max release later this month, Warner Bros. has debuted a new look at the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot via a "Meet The Kast" featurette.
The 3-minute+ video contains interviews with most of the main cast and director Simon McQuoid, along with action-packed new footage. We've seen some of these shots in the first red-band trailer, but we also get new looks at the likes of Kabal, Goro, Mileena and Reptile(?), as well as more of that highly-anticipated showdown between Sub-Zero and Scorpion.
Fans of the popular video game series seem to be very happy with everything they've seen from this adaptation, so let's hope Mortal Kombat delivers the goods - and the fatalities - when it slices its way onto screens in 3 week's time.
In “Mortal Kombat,” MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld's Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family's safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark.
Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?
Mortal Kombat is set for a simultaneous release in theaters and on HBO Max this April 23.
