Mortal Kombat (2021)
Mortal Kombat (2021), directed by Simon McQuoid, is a reboot of the popular fighting game franchise. The story follows Cole Young (Lewis Tan), a washed-up MMA fighter who is unaware of his true heritage. Hunted by the deadly assassin Sub-Zero (Joe Taslim), Cole discovers that he is one of the chosen warriors destined to protect Earthrealm in an ancient battle known as Mortal Kombat.
Guided by Sonya Blade (Jessica McNamee) and assisted by warriors like Liu Kang (Ludi Lin), Kung Lao (Max Huang), and Jax (Mehcad Brooks), Cole must unlock his hidden power—his “arcana”—before it’s too late. Meanwhile, the villainous sorcerer Shang Tsung (Chin Han) sends his champions, including Mileena, Kabal, and Goro, to eliminate Earth’s fighters before the tournament even begins.
With intense martial arts action, brutal fatalities, and an epic rivalry between Scorpion (Hiroyuki Sanada) and Sub-Zero, Mortal Kombat delivers a thrilling adaptation that honors the legendary game series. The film sets the stage for future battles, leaving fans eager for a sequel.
