Watch the violent first trailer for the Mortal Kombat movie

The first trailer for the new * Mortal Kombat * movie is here. The feature film features multiple iconic characters.

Warner Bros. delivered on its promise and, after several months of waiting, finally released the first trailer for the Mortal Kombat movie . The famous video game saga returns to the big screen after staying away for more than two decades. Fortunately for the most loyal fans of the franchise, it seems that the production company is really taking the feature film seriously. The preview looks promising thanks to the appearance of iconic characters and the characteristic violence .

The Mortal Kombat movie , which is scheduled to premiere on April 16, 2021 , is not a sequel to the 1997 feature film. In fact, we are facing a reboot that aims to reposition the franchise in the cinema. Another interesting fact is that, due to the pandemic, Mortal Kombat will have a simultaneous premiere both in theaters and on HBO Max. The problem, however, is that such a streaming video platform is not yet available in much of the world.

At the moment we know that the film will feature the presence of multiple fighters who have shone in video games for decades. Among them, of course, the dreaded Sub-Zero . We will also see Scorpion, Kano, Mileena, Kung Lao, Cole Young, Shang Tsung, Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Raiden, and Jax Briggs. From what we could see in the first trailer, it is clear that Warner intends to respect the identity of the franchise . In other words, reflect the violence that made the games famous - and controversial -.

Yes, the movie will have fatalities

In 2019, Greg Russo, one of the writers of Mortal Kombat , assured that the film will be classified for adults due to its gory scenes. In addition, it confirmed the presence of the so famous fatalities . We talk about those ending sequences that tear the fighters apart with extreme violence. In the 1990s it became a controversial issue in the United States; It even spawned a whole movement against violent content in video games.

The Mortal Kombat feature film was directed by Simon McQuoid , while Oren Uziel and Greg Russo were responsible for writing the script. For its part, the cast is made up of Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada. It will be interesting to see the end result, because this is the first time that McQuoid has directed a film.

Everything we know about the new 'Mortal Kombat' movie
The new <em> Mortal Kombat </em> movie is about to hit theaters and HBO Max. Here we review all the details of the expected reboot.

As we have known for a long time, the Mortal Kombat franchise will return to the cinema in a movie with live actors. This long-awaited new film adaptation was confirmed a few years ago and its process has been complicated, as is often the case with some productions.

However, and despite everything, we have finally seen the first images of this film and many other details that we will review here.

Mortal Kombat, a successful franchise
Since the Mortal Kombat video game was published by Midway in 1992, it was a huge success. Not only in sales, but in its cultural influence. Since then, the title has had various sequels and spin-offs . For the cinema things were not different, as Mortal Kombat was adapted for the first time in a film of the same name directed by Paul WS Anderson in 1995 .

Soon after, the same producer of the first film, Lawrence Kasanoff, made a second film possible: Mortal Kombat: Annihilations in 1997 . The franchise also has a couple of animated shorts and a 2010 live action short directed by Kevin Tancharoen.

So the new Mortal Kombat movie has been in the works for years. Its premiere is scheduled for April 16, 2021, both in theaters and on HBO Max, thus following Warner's controversial but imminent strategy for all its 2021 alrgoems.

The history of Mortal Kombat, the reboot

In recent days the first images of this long-awaited film were released. The direction is given by Simon McQuoid, with a story by Oren Uziel and Greg Russo . For McQuoid, Mortal Kombat will be his directorial debut. Although he has said that he has worked closely with his team to live up to the mythology of this video game.

And it is that if Mortal Kombat has been characterized for something, it is for its characters and, yes, for its explicit violence. Anyone who has played video games knows very well that Mortal Kombat goes through a wide spectrum and without reserves of blood and violent deaths. This, MQuoid has said , is something that should be present in the reboot . Like the iconic fatalities , the hallmark of Mortal Kombat. The director has expressed it like this:

We have chosen a pair. There are a lot of really cool signature moves you'll see, a lot of Easter eggs that we've put into the movie, but there are some really badass fatalities that I can't wait to see on the big screen. They are brutal, man. They don't stop.

The cast and the new hero
The first images have surprised fans of the franchise, as they seem to fulfill the director's goal of sticking to the traits that have distinguished Mortal Kombat . The cast includes Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada .

According to the official synopsis:

In Mortal Kombat, MMA fighter Cole Young is used to getting beat up for money, unaware of his heritage, or why Outworld's emperor Shang Tsung has sent his greatest warrior, Sub-Zero, a cryomancer from another world, to chase him. Fearing for the safety of his family, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade on the recommendation of Jax, a Special Forces commander who bears the same strange dragon brand Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself in the temple of Lord Raiden, an ancient god and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark.

Mortal Kombat release date
Mortal Kombat's scheduled release date , so far, is April 16, 2021 . The day it would hit theaters and on the HBO Max platform. It should be noted that we have seen more delays in the release dates in recent weeks, so we will be aware of the adjustments in the schedules of the entertainment world. For now are the first images of the promising reboot of Mortal Kombat .
