The first trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat, live-action movie may arrive the summer months. Mortal Kombat is a popular video game franchise that first thumped shelves in 1992, and has become the most successful fighting game franchise in video game history. The Mortal Kombat games are known for being extremely brutal, with musicians given the option to perform a “fatality” on demolished dissidents, which frequently creatively merciless finishing moves performed by the winner. This could include ripping off the opponent’s spine or reducing them to ash.

The Mortal Kombat games have also been adapted into comic books, a poster tournament, YouTube television series, and even a live-action movie in 1995. While the Mortal Kombat movie did well financially, the movie is often critically washed for its cheesy dialogue, feeble plan, and mediocre acting. The sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation received similarly negative responses from connoisseurs. The movie left fans requiring a better change of their favorite video game, to do it justice. Fortunately for supporters, they will get another chance to see their favorite soldiers on the big screen. The upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot, which was delayed for a few years, picked up after James Wan ratified on as the producer in 2015. This past December, the movie wrapped up filming and went into post-production.

According to one of the producers of the upcoming movie, Todd Garner, the first trailer for Mortal Kombat is also available liberated sometime this upcoming summer. When a supporter on Twitter expected Garner when to expect a trailer for the movie, Garner responded that he believes it should be this summer. If Garner’s timeline is correct, this means that the trailer will droop half a year ahead of the 2021 release date.

Mortal Kombat will be directed by first-time superintendent Simon McQuoid, who will be working with the screenplay written by Greg Russo. The talented shed for the upcoming movie includes Joe Taslim( Warrior) as Sub-Zero, Mehcad Brooks as Major Jackson ‘Jax’ Briggs, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, and Josh Lawson as Kano. Lewis Tan( Iron Fist, Into the Badlands) will toy a lead role, but no one knows more which reputation he is likely to be drawing. Both the actor and the studio have been tight-lipped about the character’s identity, but there have been some rumors that running that the character in question could be Johnny Cage. However, this is purely speculation.

Hopefully, some of the questions about Mortal Kombat will be answered with the premiere of the debut trailer. Perhaps Tan’s role will be uncovered. If Garner’s prediction is accurate, fans will find out this summer. There is no doubt a lot riding on the success of the Mortal Kombat reboot. The first movie adaptations were poor movies, so the reboot will have to redeem the franchise. In the meantime, there is also a highly-anticipated animated movie, Mortal Kombat: Scorpion’s Revenge, that will be exhausted this year.
