What do we know about Mortal Kombat?
While it hasn't been officially reviewed by critics, the fan response has been tremendous from what we've seen so far. The first trailer for the film came out in February, showing the bloody deaths that the Mortal Kombat franchise has become famous for, or perhaps infamous for. This is the first live-action Mortal Kombat movie in over 20 years (if you're not counting the fan movie with Michael Jai White) and it features a new character named Cole Young, played by Lewis Tan.
The rest of the movie is filled to the brim with MK favorites like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Kano, Raiden, Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, and from the trailers it looks like Kung Lao too. It will be director Simon McQuoid's first feature film.
