“This is seeing something I’ve been passionate about my whole life finally come to the screen.”
Ahead of the film’s release in theaters and on HBO Max April 23, we’ve got a fresh new look at Mortal Kombat courtesy of a 3-minute featurette video shared by IGN this afternoon.
The video, titled “Meet the Kast,” is absolutely loaded with new footage, giving us fresh looks at Mileena, Kabal, Goro and more. The featurette includes insights from the cast and crew, promising a “grounded, dramatic, but violent tale,” as well as “a reward for the fans and a new experience.” It really sounds like the team focused not just on the fights and the violence in this one – don’t worry, the fight scenes look to be absolutely awesome and the violence is indeed as Rated “R” as can be! – but also the storytelling and characters, which is great to hear.
Find all the new footage in the video down below!
The film is helmed by award-winning Australian commercial filmmaker Simon McQuoid, marking his feature directorial debut, and produced by James Wan (The Conjuring universe films, Aquaman), Todd Garner (Into the Storm, Tag), McQuoid and E. Bennett Walsh (Men in Black: International, The Amazing Spider-Man 2).
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?”
