With a fresh and promising start of 2021, movies that have been lined up for showcasing include an all-time favorite Mortal Kombat. The Mortal Kombat fans are everywhere and anxiously waiting for the thrill-packed screening. The released trailer successfully sparks a sensational curiosity among Mortal Combat fans. In addition, it flashes a brief sketch about the cast and storyline of aggressive fighters.
Here is all you need to know about the cast and hints of the released trailer’s story.
The franchise Mortal Kombat is based on the hyper-violent fighting game. Two movies of the franchise, original Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, have bagged $173,572,781 as combined revenue. Potentially another blockbuster film of this franchise is truly a high hope for viewers. Like all of Warner Bros’ 2021 blockbusters, Mortal Kombat will release in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously on April 16th, 2021.
Trailer Side of The Story
Continuing the flow of nature of the game, the trailer shows a very violent movie. MMA fighter Cole Young (Lewis Tan), who assumes the suspiciously dragon-shaped scar on his chest just a birthmark (which certainly strains credulity), is quickly recruited to fight in a legendary tournament — the titular “Mortal Kombat” — with the fate of Earth in his hands. (seriously. This calls for a lot of fighting.)
The trailer also provides a good look at the latest live-action versions of Sonya, Kano, Raiden, Jax, Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, and Kung Lao, along with the supernatural fighting warriors Sub-Zero and Scorpion (the video game’s unofficial mascots).
