So this is fun! The new trailer for the upcoming 2021 reboot of Mortal Kombat has finally gotten over here, and it's pretty awesome (especially the "Sub-Zero freezes Scorpion's blood, then stabs him with it" scene)!
And now, star Ludi Lin (Liu Kang) has gotten together with the other actors – which includes Josh Lawson (Kano), Sisi Stringer (Mileena), Max Huang (Kung Lao), Tadanobu Asano (Raiden) and more – to react to the trailer in real-time on his official Twitter account! Check it out below!
Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat will fight its way to select theaters and HBO Max April 16th!
Here's the official synopsis:
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?
So what do you guys think? Excited for the new film? Or are you like me and have a mixture of genuine excitement about all the blood and gore, but a sense of dread about the inclusion of non-game character Cole Young? Either way, sound off below!
