Up until this point, fans have only gotten a small taste of what to expect with a teaser trailer and “first look images” for the upcoming “Mortal Kombat”. The time has finally come. Wait no longer, Warner Brothers’ live-action film inspired by the popular fighting video game franchise dropped its official trailer and its awesome! The trailer is pretty violent, which most likely suggests the movie will keep in line with the famously gory and brutality shown within the video game series.
In anticipation for the new trailer, the official twitter account for the movie also shared a series of moving posters, showing a more detailed look into the well-known favorites like Mileena (Sisi Stringer), Kung Loa (Max Huang), Sub Zero (Joe Taslim) and Shang Tsung (Chin Han) to name a few.

The synopsis for the upcoming cinematic adventure according to WB:
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?
Mortal Kombat” is scheduled for release in theaters and HBO Max streaming platform (available for 31 days from theatrical release) starting on April 16, 2021.
