"Get over here!"
Several TV spots for Warner Bros. and New Line's upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot have found their way online, and while most of them reuse a lot of the same footage, there are some awesome new shots that fans of the iconic video game franchise are sure to appreciate.
We see more of Scorpion and Sub-Zero's battle, with the icy ninja actually managing to catch his undead nemesis' spear at one point. There's also new looks at Raiden, Jax, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and one brief glimpse of Mileena unleashing a monstrous roar while baring her Tarkatan fangs.
You'll find all 4 promos in the player below.
UPDATE: We have more spots featuring brand new footage of Goro in action.
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 16.
