\"\" <\/p>\n

The upcoming\u00a0Mortal Kombat\u00a0<\/em>movie reboot is less than a month away\u00a0and to celebrate<\/a>, a new March Madness promo has arrived showing off even more footage from the latest film adaptation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The March Madness promo is honestly perfect when you look at the tournament backdrop<\/a> of the entire Mortal Kombat series. The latest video shows off more about the characters we’ll see on the big screen (and HBO Max), including Cole Young, Mileena,\u00a0Goro, Sonya Blade, and Kung Lao’s epic intro. Oh, and can we talk about Sub-Zero again for the billionth time?\u00a0Because Joe Taslim is incredible as the\u00a0iconic fighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just because your March Madness brackets were ruined doesn\u2019t mean you kan\u2019t start preparing for the next big tournament. Katch #MortalKombatMovie<\/a> in theaters and on HBO Max April 16. pic.twitter.com\/JiqiL5hsgA<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Mortal Kombat Movie (@MKMovie) March 22, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With the movie’s launch on April 16, many fans of the beloved franchise from Netherrealm Studios are excited to see the latest live-action itertion. The original 1995 film was a beast and developed a cinematic following that still is held dear to this date.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reboot was originally slated to launch this month, but COVID-19-related delays impacted the film’s progress, though not for very long (thankfully). Our own Brian Shea saw a small preview of the upcoming movie and loved what was shared, which you can read more about here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the reboot’s synopsis, courtesy of New Line Cinema:\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Mortal Kombat,\u00a0MMA fighter\u00a0Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage\u2014or why Outworld\u2019s Emperor\u00a0Shang Tsung\u00a0has sent his best warrior,\u00a0Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family\u2019s safety, Cole goes in search of\u00a0Sonya Blade\u00a0at the direction of\u00a0Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of\u00a0Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors\u00a0Liu Kang,\u00a0Kung Lao,\u00a0and rogue mercenary\u00a0Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth\u2019s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high-stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana\u2014the immense power from within his soul\u2014in time to save not only his family but to stop Outworld once and for all?<\/p>\n

We’ll be able to see these powerful characters in action for ourselves soon, because the Mortal Kombat <\/em>movie reboot arrives on April 16 in theaters and\u00a0HBO Max. Are you excited to see the full film for yourself? Any concerns over the casting choices?\u00a0Get over here\u00a0<\/strong>and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
