Mortal Kombat movie trailer brings blood, action, and fatalities
Warner Bros. Pictures has released the trailer for Mortal Kombat.
Though quality film adaptations of beloved video games have been few and far between. The 90s Mortal Kombat movie is one that’s stuck with audiences throughout the year. That said, you can imagine the excitement at the news that Warner Bros. would be bringing the film franchise back with a new movie this year. With an April release just around the corner, Warner Bros. has released a new restricted trailer for Mortal Kombat.
The new red band trailer for Mortal Kombat was posted to the Warner Bros. Pictures YouTube channel and gives us our first major look at the film. In the trailer, we see a slew of iconic Mortal Kombat characters. From Sub-Zero to Scorpion, Jax, Sonya Blade, and many more, this trailer is full of the characters that fans adore.
We also get to see some of the action sequences, as the Mortal Kombat trailer goes heavy on violence and gore. From Sub-Zero stabbing an opponent with an icicle made of their own blood to Scorpion delivering his iconic “get over here!,” there’s a lot going on in this preview. The trailer also features a brand new character, Cole, who hasn’t appeared in any of the games. With a birthmark that bears the dragon symbol, Cole finds himself thrust into the affairs of these super-powered beings.
The Mortal Kombat film is set to release on April 16 in theaters and on HBO Max. If you want to talk more movies with us, consider stopping by the next episode of Pop! Goes the Culture!, our movie and television discussion show.

Wow and that's coming out so soon. Looks fun!

Isn’t it a variation of the original movie theme at the end of the trailer?

Nvm I’m late to the party, answered below.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE THEME SONG?!
also this looks hilariously bad and I'm down for that-
-
The original was only good if you saw it when your brain was like 11-18 years old haha
-
-
Yeah I watched it last year and it's so bad it's good. It does so much dumb stuff that works given the universe. And that theme song!!

That did not have nearly the same energy.
-
This movie doesn't look to be striking the same tone of the first.
-
In fact I'm happy/surprised they had any variation of it at all....
-
Also it is amusing to me that after all this time that that theme has basically been the defacto MK theme since.
-
As far as I'm concerned, that theme is mandatory. It's one of the most iconic pieces of music in video games.

He's completely made up for this movie. In a franchise with a 100 characters they felt it necessary to make a new one up for the lead 🤦♂️🤷♂️

Hmm... reading reddit, Cole is possibly Scorpion or Sub Zero and doesn’t know it or forgot or something... could be somewhat interesting. I was thinking that if they’re going to do their own thing Scorpion and Sub Zero should be part of the focus since their story is such a focal point in the entire MK series

The Director did a commentary video for the trailer and explains some of that along with some other stuff, pretty interesting to watch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy-j4z4n1H8

Movie.
Even casual fans should probably know who Ermac is.-
Like I consider myself a fairly hardcore MK fan but between numbers 5 through 8 I doubt I could name very many MK characters that aren’t also in 9-11.

Listening to the director talk in this IGN video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy-j4z4n1H8
Yeah... he seems to at least love the series and gets it more or less so I'm actually feeling a little more hyped now than I initially was and he makes a good enough point about introducing a new character if he is in fact even a "new" character...-
-
Oh it may be the same video :p
Yeah as far as MK is concerned the bar is pretty low when it comes to dialogue and acting, I'm in it for the characters, fight scenes and fatalities.
Speaking of dlc the latest mk11 DLC is really really good

blood and naughty words ✔
As an MK fan I'm in but since hearing about what the director had envisioned from the start my hype has been low.
-
Hiroyuki Sanada, sold. Looks like dumb fun.
-
Excellent. The characters and tone look great.
Let us all reflect on the greatness of the first

And the horror of its sequel

It looks OK. I would have preferred this one be made in to a full movie, but eh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30MqmWq7rHM

I'm 100% in!

Alriiiight after soaking in fanboy theories and watching trailer breakdowns and hearing the director actually sound like a big fan of the franchise I am feeling pretty hyped now. I am legit looking forward to this.
