Apparently it will be released in theaters and on HBO Max as per Warner Bros. earlier announcement they had throwing theaters under the bus with their plan for simultaneous releases on their streaming platform and theaters. The film was originally planned on being released last summer, then in January of 2021 and now has a more finalized date of April. Oddly however, there is still no trailer yet.
Joe Taslim (one of the main police officer characters in the Indonesian action movie The Raid) will be portraying Bi Han/Sub Zero. Ludi Lin (from the Power Rangers reboot) as Liu Kang and Hiroyuki Sanada (whose been a badass Samurai in The Last Samurai, 47 Ronin and The Wolverine) as Scorpion. Other MK characters in the main cast include Raiden, Sonya Blade, Jackson Briggs, Kano, Shang Tsung, Mileena and Kung Lao. One major selling point is that they state they will show some of the games trademark fatalities onscreen and it will in fact be rated R.
