In case you didn’t know, the Mortal Kombat movie hits theatres and HBO Max this Friday and to mark the occasion, the opening seven minutes of the movie have just been released.
The clip stars Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi and The Raid’s Joe Taslim as Bi-Han and I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say this sets up the biggest conflict in the Mortal Kombat mythology.
I have to say, while I’m not a fan of gore (and this movie looks like it’ll have a lot from what we’ve seen), I love the serious tone of this and what I’ve seen absolutely has my attention… so, I guess I’ll see you all in the front row on Friday.
The Mortal Kombat movie stars Lewis Tan (“Deadpool 2,” Netflix’s “Wu Assassins”) as Cole Young; Jessica McNamee (“The Meg”) as Sonya Blade; Josh Lawson (“Bombshell”) as Kano; Tadanobu Asano (“Midway”) as Lord Raiden; Mehcad Brooks (TV’s “Supergirl”) as Jackson “Jax” Bridges; Ludi Lin (“Aquaman”) as Liu Kang; with Chin Han (“Skyscraper”) as Shang Tsung; Joe Taslim (“Star Trek Beyond”) as Bi-Han and Sub-Zero; and Hiroyuki Sanada (“Skyscraper”) as Hanzo Hasashi and Scorpion. Also featured are Max Huang as Kung Lao; Sisi Stringer as Mileena; Matilda Kimber as Emily Young; and Laura Brent as Allison Young. Directed by Simon McQuoid.
Mortal Kombat arrives in theaters and HBO Max on April 23, 2021.
