The trailer for Mortal Kombat introduces Cole as a down-on-his-luck fighter who unwittingly becomes involved in an interdimensional tournament where the future of Earth is at stake.
Apart from Cole, the movie features plenty of fan-favorite characters, from Liu Kang, to Sub-Zero, Jax, Sonya, Kano, and Scorpion.
Even though we are bringing in a new character, which Mortal Kombat does with every game, all the characters you love are all going to have their moments.
But it had no tie to the mythology of Mortal Kombat.
