Mortal Kombat Movie Reboot Gets March 2021 Release Date

Warner Bros. has announced that the recently revealed Mortal Kombat movie reboot will hit theaters on March 5, 2021. The movie is being produced by Aquaman director, James Wan, and is being directed by Simon McQuoid.

Filming will begin later this year in Adelaide, Australia.

The reboot will reportedly star a new character named Cole Turner, a Philadelphia-native boxer who is recruited to fight in a tournament that determines the Earth’s fate. Cole is in his late 30s, widowed, and is raising his 12-year old daughter, Emily. Like her father, Emily is quite skilled herself and is very wise for her age.

So far, the following characters are set to appear in the reboot, according to a 2018 report by That Hashtag Show:
