Interestingly, the trailer doesn't seem to play up the ongoing rivalry between Sonya and Kano, which has always been a big part in the games, but may not make it into the new movie. She and Jax are apparently working to hunt down Sub-Zero, who they know as a fugitive with supernatural abilities. In the games, Sonya Blade is a member of a special forces team focused on Outworld-related activities and it seems like at least a portion of that backstory is being adapted for the movie. This time, he's going to become a cool cyborg thanks to a really gnarly run-in with Sub-Zero. We get a brand new origin story for Jax's metal arms here, which have already had a number of origin stories in the past. Not only does he freeze Jax's gun as it's firing, he uses his icy powers to inflict some serious damage on the character. There's no hint at what his crimes were, though chances are they have something to do with freezing and exploding people.īefore his proper introduction later in the trailer, we see just how powerful Sub-Zero is. A red band trailer means things are going to get messy.Ī voiceover from Sonya Blade reveals that Sub-Zero is a "wanted fugitive" in Brazil. Right from the start, we know this will be more graphic than either of the first two Mortal Kombat movies. Then, if you're feeling nostalgic, take a look at our deep dives into the original films, Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. If there are any we missed, you should absolutely shout them out in the comments. Take a look at every Easter egg and reference we managed to dig out of the trailer below. Given that this is a Mortal Kombat movie, the trailer also thankfully includes a very bloody montage of fatalities and a number of signature catchphrases (from "Get over here!" to "Finish them!").
It's also packed with a bunch of iconic characters from the franchise, giving them each time to shine (and mutilate their opponents). This version of Mortal Kombat is rated R, unlike the previous live-action movies, and the first red band trailer has no problem showing that rating off.
The film will release in theaters and on HBO Max on April 16.
