The Mortal Kombat reboot, directed by Simon McQuoid and produced by James Wan (Saw, Aquaman), and its cast of ferocious fighters is now available to view on HBO Max and in theaters.
Mehcad Brooks, known for his roles in Desperate Housewives, The Game, and Supergirl, plays Super Soldier Jax Briggs, a Special Forces officer with cybernetically-enhanced arms and a steely (get it?) nature.
Previously, Jax was played by Gregory McKinney and Lynn Williams in the two live-action films from the '90s.
Chin Han (The Dark Knight, Marco Polo) plays ultimate Mortal Kombat baddie, Liu Kang's arch-nemesis, and soul-sucking warlock Shang Tsung. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa played Shang Tsung in the 1995 film.
GET OVER HERE!
Hiroyuki Sanada (Lost, Westworld, Avengers: Endgame) plays the hell-bound ninja Hanzo Hasashi - aka Scorpion - who's determined to seek revenge with his sharp Kunai-tipped chains. Chris Casamassa and J.J. Perry played the role previously.
He may not have lasted long as the Warriors Three's Hogun while facing down Cate Blanchett's Hela in Thor: Ragnarok, but Tadonobu Asano's gotten an upgrade in Mortal Kombat, landing the role of Raiden, the non-Asgardian God of Thunder.
As a celestial being with his glowing eyes always on the big picture, Raiden can control lighting as well as teleport. Christopher Lambert portrayed Raiden in the 1995 film while James Remar filled in for the sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
Newcomer Sisi Stringer plays Mileena, the evil clone of Kitana who wishes nothing more than to slay her "sister." With feline eyes and a twisted fanged face (thanks to her diabolical DNA) Mileena is a lethal lass with sinister sai skills and an almost unparalleled penchant for death-dealing.
Mileena was previously played by Dana Hee in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
Ludi Lin, who you can catch in the 2017 Power Rangers film and in the Black Mirror episode "Striking Vipers," plays central hero Liu Kang, one of Earth's most powerful and capable warriors. As the main character for most incarnations and stories within the Mortal Kombat franchise, Liu Kang is the nemesis of inter-dimensional sorcerer Shang Tsung.
Robin Shou played Kang in both '90s Mortal Kombat movies.
Renowned martial artist, and James Wan player, Joe Taslim (The Raid, Fast & Furious 6, The Night Comes for Us) slips into the glacial gear of Sub-Zero, one of the franchise's most icily iconic characters. Previously, Sub-Zero was played by Francois Petit and Keith Cooke.
Australia's Josh Lawson (House of Lies) is Kano - the merciless mercenary leader of crime cartel The Black Dragon. An arms dealer with a cybernetic heart, Kano is a killer through and through.
JAG's Trevor Goddard played Kano in 1995's Mortal Kombat.
Another Aussie actor joining the Kombat krew is The Meg's Jessica McNamee, who plays Sonya Blade - the tough as nails General of Earth's special ops forces on a mission to thwart extra-dimensional invaders.
Bridgette Wilson (Last Action Hero, I Know What You Did Last Summer) played Sonya in the 1995 movie while Sandra Hess tagged in for Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
- Scorpion. “GET OVER HERE!” You can utter that phrase in any setting and most folks will look your way to acknowledge who it belongs to. That person is none other than the best Mortal Kombat character of all time, the Hellspawn ninja known as Scorpion.
- Sub-Zero. Ninjas > Pirates. That’s just a simple fact. And to be honest, ninjas are cooler than a whole bunch of other comparable warriors from real-world history.
- Mileena. All she wants is a family. How can you fault the poor girl for that? Well, here’s the problem - she makes it tough for anyone to get too close to her since she can bite your face off in a few seconds flat.
- Ermac. "We are many, you are but one." Ermac is the full embodiment of all the tortured souls who lost their lives during Outworld’s many wars. The cursed magic used to create him certainly worked like a charm since it ended up birthing one of the most dangerous “Kombatants” in Mortal Kombat history.
