Look, with everything that's going on right now, sometimes things fall through the cracks. But, when I recently became aware of this wholesome older video – posted by actor Ludi Lin, who plays Liu Kang in the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot, on his official Instagram account last month – of his mom watching the bloody red band trailer for Mortal Kombat, I just had to share it! The world is too dark to not try to bring some light to it…even if it's a bit belated!
Anyway, you can check it out below!
And here's the official synopsis for the film itself:
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?
Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat will get over here to select theaters and HBO Max April 16th!
