Mortal Kombat: Movie gets animated posters in anticipation of the trailer

The Warner finally released new posters from the movie "Mortal Kombat", the film adaptation of a known franchise of fighting games created by Ed Boon and John Tobias in 1992. Not content, the company has promised a trailer for this Thursday (18).

The disclosures were made by the official profile of the film on Twitter and bring animated posters with the characters Raiden (played by Tadanobu Asano), Liu Kang (Ludi Lin), Sonya Blade (Jessica McNamee), Shang Tsung (Chin Han), Cole Young (this one, exclusive to the movie and played by Lewis Tan), Kung Lao (Max Huang), Mileena (Sisi Stringer), Kano (John Lawson) and, finally, Sub Zero (Joe Taslim).

The plot of the feature film will be lightly based on the narrative of the first game in the franchise (and the 2011 reboot): a group of Earth fighters is tasked with defending our world in a tournament that occurs once every generation, promoted by the soul sorcerer Shang Tsung, facing warriors of supernatural abilities. If they lose, the Earth will be dominated by the invaders.

The film “Mortal Kombat” was originally announced in January 2021, but since then, it has faced several delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic and, like many others, ended up indefinitely postponed in its debut - originally, the feature film should be on March 5, 2021.

Fortunately, the “indefinitely postponed” part turned out not to be that serious, and now the film “Mortal Kombat” is due to hit US cinemas and the HBO Max streaming platform on April 16, just over a month after the original intention.

Below, you can see all the posters that were released for the film:
