Ahead of today's eagerly-awaited trailer launch, Entertainment Weekly has shared an awesome new photo from Mortal Kombat, featuring another amazing look at Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion. 

Sanada also spoke with the trade about bringing the fan-favorite antihero to life, and confirmed that he will indeed be saying the character's iconic "Come here!" (or "Get over here!") line from the video games - a moment he says drew multiple cheers from the cast and crew. 

"He has two famous words, a punchline or something, that I really enjoyed. When I performed that signature move with the words in the rehearsal on set for the first time, I had a great reaction from the cast and crew. They said, 'Yeah! I've waited for this moment.' Then I realized how popular this move is."

Check out the new still at the embedded link below:

The film stars Lewis Tan as Cole Young, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, Mehcad Brooks as Jackson "Jax" Briggs, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han/Sub-Zero, Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion, Max Huang as Kung Lao, Sisi Stringer as Mileena, Matilda Kimber as Emily Young, Laura Brent as Alison Young, Elissa Cadwell as Nitara, and Daniel Nelson as Kabal. 

Mortal Kombat arrives in theaters and on HBO Max on April 16.

Small nitpick but I would’ve liked him look more like a ninja than samurai, but Scorpion and Sub-Zero look the best from the cast.

@TexasAvenger - might have character significance. Remember, sub zero is also a ninja and historically the ninja came into being to fend off oppressive samurai. So scorpion might be wearing this as a big middle finger to subzero.

@Origame - that was the point of Scorpion in the first game. Sub-zero was part of a ninja clan. Scorpion was his enemy so he wore the clan’s outfit but in a cowardly yellow so as to mock them.

Im quite tired of this site and jaded fans in general, heard nothing but complaints and hate towards this film especially after the teaser posters were released and just look at you all now

@Matchesz - what's the problem here? They changed their tune once they got an actual taste of what the final product is like. Isnt that a good thing?

I'm looking forward to this still with Liu Lang was the main protagonist and not some new character.

Damn good. Not going to watch the trailer until it's officially released.

As a fan who's played all the games since I was a kid, I wasn't really expecting much.

But I gotta say, this looks way better than I was expecting. The lore can translate well to film so I'm hoping this is received well enough for a sequel.

Never quite liked how his and sub-zero’s masks keep getting more and more overly complicated. Always been more about the simple fabric looking mask.

@Stinkor1 - I agree. Hopefully there's a nod to it in a flashback or something showing them wearing it their younger years.

I think they should have started with the classic looks for the entire film though, and have it slowly progress with sequels just like how it happened with the games.

Not quite as good as I expected honestly, but looks good enough.

You know...now that I am seeing more of the cast list....this could bring more speculation that Cole Young is supposed to be a new Scorpion. Especially since we have Sub Zero hunting him down...
Perhaps Quan Chi disguised as Sub Zero kills Young's family and kills him similarly to how we see it done to Hanzo.

But that would be such a cop out to do that origin for a newly introduced character instead of it being the established lore for Hanzo's.

@satsuinojxa - Yeah, plus Cole’s yellow hand wraps make me think that’s a slight clue to Scorpion. I could also see Sub Zero hunting him down as a twist, if he’s actually Sub’s little bro. But he’s probably a Scorpion descendant.
