Directed by Simon McQuoid and produced by Aquaman’s James Wan, the film is getting ready to start filming this fall in Australia ahead of a 2021 theatrical debut. Here’s a look at who has been cast so far.

Ludi Lin from Power Rangers, Aquaman, and Netflix’s Marco Polo stars as fan favorite Liu Kang, one of the original characters from the first 1992 Mortal Kombat game. An orphan raised by the Shaolin order, he’s often a protagonist.

Mortal Kombat is a fighting tournament between representatives from various realms set up by the Elder Gods. If champions from one realm defeat another realm’s champions enough times, that winning realm can then invade. Liu became a champion of Mortal Kombat when he saved Earthrealm (that would be us) from invasion.

McQuoid and the producers are committed to assembling an international cast for Mortal Kombat, and so far they’re succeeding.

Joe Taslim, a martial artist and actor from Netflix’s The Night Comes for Us film and Cinemax’s Warrior series, was first cast as Sub-Zero. With a mastery over ice, the Lin Kueiclan grandmaster can freeze opponents in a block of ice or conjure an ice axe to hack them away.

If there’s Sub-Zero, Scorpion usually isn’t far behind.

Hiroyuki Sanada has too many credits to count, but mainstream audiences will recognize him more recently in Westworld, Avengers: Endgame, and The Wolverine.

The character gets his name from the sharp, metallic chain whip that shoots out of his open palm. Screenwriter Greg Russo teased the film will feature fatalities, those commonly gruesome finisher moves. Scorpion always has some of the bloodiest of the lot.

As Sonya Blade, The Meg star Jessica McNamee steps into the military boots of this decorated Earthrealm Special Forces officer. Her squadron is one of this realm’s many defenses against otherwordly threats, and now she runs the show.

Sonya has lots of friends. Kano is not one of them. The leader of the Black Dragon clan, this black-market arms dealer has an underground network that spans continents and realms. His defining feature is a cybernetic eye that, in this year’s Mortal Kombat 11 game, fires off laser beams.

mehcad brooks stepped away from The CW’s Supergirl to pursue other roles. He can finally tell us one of them. Jax Briggs has literal muscles of steel as a cybernetically enhanced member of Earthrealm Special Forces. He lost both his arms in the line of duty, but returned with an upgrade: two metalic arms.
 
raiden.jpg


Tadanobu Asano played an Asgardian in the Marvel movies as Hogun of Lady Sif and the Warriors Three. Now he takes on Raiden, God of Thunder and protector of Earthrealm. He has saved earth too many times to count over the years by assembling the finest fighters to do combat against enemies.
 
chin-han.jpg


Meet the host of the Mortal Kombat. Shang Tsung was born on Earthrealm but became a sorcerer when he traversed to the realm known as Outworld and pledged his allegiance to Shao Kahn, the embodiment of evil and the prime antagonist in many of the Mortal Kombat games. Shang must take souls to replenish his life force, granting him the ability to shapeshift and take on the abilities of the souls he absorbs. Chin Han of Skyscraper and The Dark Knight will portray Shang in the movie.
 
mileena.jpg


Newcomer Sisi Stringer takes on Mileena, which we assume means she’s also playing Kitana, given the character’s whole history. Shang Tsu, having conquered the realm of Edenia, raised its princess, the fan-wielding Kitana, as his own. He later makes an evil twin version of her called Mileena, a lot more evil, viscious, and thirsty for the throne.

Lewis Tan was cast in a lead role for Mortal Kombat, but the gatekeepers are keeping his role locked up in the vault. The actor previously played Shatterstar in Deadpool 2, and featured in Netflix’s Iron Fist and Wu Assassins. He also played Kung Jin in the web series Mortal Kombat X: Generations.

Mortal Kombat is scheduled for theaters on March 5, 2021.
 
To be honest, even though I know that now, they have the CGI to do it right, I really don't want to see another MK movie.
Michael Jai White's take on the MK series was the most interesting to me until they fucked it up.
If they had real world characters in a gritty battle ground, that would work.
The only way this works is if the characters are dark and the fatalities are hardcore like the latest game.

I feel like they fucking up right here already with these castings more so with Lui Kang and Jax. Though I would like Ken Watenabe to play Scorpion I think he would be dope for that character but...
 
Came in to see how corny it was looking and wasnt disappointed. lol

MK11 video game cinematography and character design look is much better than the live action movie. :smh:

How Kung Lao look Mexican? lol

Jax the stereotypical bald head strong black man with robot enhancements lol

Lui Kang, nothing about him says fierce warrior or Dragon. Just some Asian dude with long hair and a extra long scarf wrapped around his waist. lol

I’m assuming that’s scorpion and subzero fued. “Yeah I’m a trained assassin who’ll stab you in the shoulder and hope you die. I’m yo fada mein”

How it’s 2021 and these screen caps don’t look any better than the first movie that came out in 1995.

Quit making these movies if you can’t make them right.

No I haven’t seen the finished movie and yeah Im hating. :lol:

The dude on the bottom right pic whose got the knife I believe is in raid redemption 1.. he’s the cop that got killed by mad dog during their 1 on 1.. he actually is nice with the fighting action scenes..so that right there gives me hope..the dude whose getting knifed I believe was in the last samurai with Tom cruise and he was nice at martial arts.. so that right there gives me more hope than the first 2 mortal kombats

Good eye, that is ol boy from Raid, he could be a good Bi-Han sub zero but yeah that’s definitely Jackie Chan’s brother from Rush Hour 3 Kenji getting knifed. Lol

He old tho, don’t know how much ass kicking he can do much longer. If he’s playing Scorpion I’m not intimidated at all.

I’m hating until I see a trailer that may or may not reduce the level of hate I have. I’m too big a fan of this franchise to have waited this long for ANOTHER mediocre effort at a MK movie.

Should just keep it cartoon at this point.
