Look, you and I both know that the 1995Mortal Kombatmovie is an all-time classic. To this day, it stands out as one of the best game-to-film adaptations. The only issue is the absolutely terrible CGI.

I don’t want to get too excited just yet, but as a big fan of theMortal Kombatlore, this is shaping up to be a movie I can’t wait to see. Regardless of the quality, it should be fun. Personally, I’m a big fan of the casting. Ludi Lin as Liu Kang is a perfect fit. Not only does he have a background in martial arts, but I’ve liked everything I’ve seen him in, even thatPower Rangersmovie. They’re also bringing in Joe Taslim to be Sub-Zero. If you don’t know who he is, please do yourself a favor and watchThe Raid. It’s phenomenal.
The rest of the cast I’m less familiar with. However, those two can easily carry the action on their own. It doesn’t look like many of the other actors have serious martial arts backgrounds, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a problem. Either way, I can’t help but think this one could be solid.
Mortal Kombatreleases on June 26, 2025. While you wait, ensure to pick upMortal Kombat 11and see where thevideo game versionof the story has gone over the last year. It’s available now onNintendo Switch,PC,PS4,PS5,Xbox One, andXbox Series X.
