“Finish Him!” Take a look at the first images from the upcoming R-rated Mortal Kombat movie

Over a decade after the disappointing Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, it’s time to fight again as the classic Midway Games favourite returns to the screen with the upcoming Mortal Kombat.

Directed by Simon McQuoid from a screenplay by Greg Russo and Dave Callaham and a story by Oren Uziel and Russo, the R-rated film stars Joe Taslim as Sub Zero, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, Mehcad Brooks as Jackson “Jax” Bridges, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Max Huang as Kung Lao, and Sisi Stringer as Mileena.

James Wan (The Conjuring, Aquaman) and Todd Garner (Tag) are producing.


Here is the synopsis via Letterboxd:

A failing boxer uncovers a family secret that leads him to a mystical tournament called Mortal Kombat where he meets a group of warriors who fight to the death in order to save the realms from the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung.

Check out the first images below. Mortal Kombat lands in theatres and on HBO Max on April 16.
