What we know about the film so far

Mortal Kombat revolves around an inter-galactic, mysterious tournament that sends out an invite to an earthling named Shaolin Monk Liu Kang for an upcoming martial arts competition. A live poster has been revealed on the official Twitter handle of Mortal Kombat Movie that shows an armour-clad Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero. He holds a sword of ice as it lets off frost smoke. Warner Bros. has quite a handful of movies coming out this year and what’s so special about all of them is that they will be available to stream on HBO Max on the same day as the theatrical release, or just a few days after.
