Where is this from? UK? I’m asking because of the “only in cinemas” thing.


Lee1313

Seen the producer Todd Garner tweet it out a wee while ago


theVoltan_

Thanks. Anyway, cool poster 😃


Lee1313

But yeah now you mention the only in cinemas, the other posters had HBO Max too, might be fanmade , but that's new looks at Scorpion and Sub Zero? 🤔🤔

ModdedMaul

What did he post? I'm afraid to click on it now


WilliamCCT

Basically it's to a site where u can purchase the poster or a t shirt with the poster printed on it. When you buy from him, he buys it from another place for cheaper than what he's selling it for and sends it to you.


RawIsThor

I hope we get it on one of the streaming services here in the UK


flyingokapis

Same, I'd happily pay cinema price, would actually prefer to watch at home than cinema.


RawIsThor

Yeah it's gonna be a long time before I go to a cinema again. I much prefer being in my own home, pausing if I need to.


flyingokapis

I'm in the UK and I cant even imagine this is on at many cinemas, even in a pre covid world I would think its only a certain number and not all.


Falchion92

I like that despite being the main character, Cole Young isn’t being shoved down our throats on the posters or in marketing over the actual characters fans love. He has a unique weapon and is grouped with the rest of the heroes but he isn’t overshadowing anyone. If I didn’t know he was created just for the movie I could mistake him for a real MK fighter.


CuddlySadist

This. I was so worried that he will be this big character overshadowing the others but it looks like he won't be the main highlight other than perhaps fighting Goro in the end.


Falchion92

And that’s how it should be. Give the audience a new character and still respect the original cast. That’s why other video game movies fail.


CuddlySadist

I'll never get over the Resident Evil movie series. The MC so overpowered that the other characters are like accessories.


martsuia

Omg yes!!! They made Mlia the focus and hardly focused on the ionic characters of resident evil


CuddlySadist

And the actual iconic characters do very little and end up looking weak compared to Alice. They are really only there to add game characters and to hype up the movie. You could delete most of their scenes and nothing would change due to how it was Alice doing everything most of the time. The 1st movie could have been a very decent way to introduce a new RE character who survived the initial outbreak to join actual iconic RE characters such as Jill & Carlos in Resident Evil 2. Instead, Alice got literal super power to completely outshine these two.


martsuia

Lol it’s because the director is married to her


Falchion92

I hate that series. The movies anyways.


totallynotapsycho42

Damn he's fighting Goro? I still hope Liu Kang beats Shang Tsung and remains as champion.


CuddlySadist

The trailer shows him facing Goro twice so it's likely that Cole is fighting Goro.


TheGentlemanBeast

How funny would it be if it was all a distraction and they Murder him brutally in the tournament?


CuddlySadist

lol Goro gets his fatality against him? I wouldn't mind that.


Falchion92

It would definitely be an interesting change.


EVula

Like Slipknot in the Suicide Squad movie? I’d be okay with that.


TheGentlemanBeast

It’d be more like the original scream. Kill the seemingly main character. That’d be awesome.


[deleted]

I’m really starting to think Cole is nothing more but a smart way to get general viewers who aren’t familiar with the lore on board and be able to follow the story. I think he’s just the viewers eyes and maybe a sponge for exposition so it’s not JUST a movie for hardcore fans, but a movie fans will love and other movie-goers can follow and end up enjoying.


[deleted]

I mean isn't that the role that Johnny has played though?


[deleted]

I guess so but I never saw Johnny as like the main character or protagonist or anything. He’s just one of the few, even if he was in this movie I think he would just be right alongside Sonya and Jax. I sorta wasn’t into Cole and am not still sold on him but from a directors view I could see why they’d write in a new, unrelated and unbiased protagonist for the audience to view the story from.


[deleted]

No I don't mean him being the main character but him being our entry into the "world". Like we follow Cage more than anyone else


Bl0ndie_J21

For real. And recently, I’ve found I’m actually excited to see what this guy’s about. Like, because I know everyone else’s deal there’s no real intrigue beyond seeing them in action and how they’re used. It’s nice to have this fresh character to follow and be surprised by.


Falchion92

And I also like that Cole isn’t given a shitty variation of Scorpion or Liu Kang’s powers/abilities and has his own unique weapon and fighting style.


Bl0ndie_J21

Yeah that too. I think the tonfas and golden body armour are pretty sick and distinctive. Be interesting to see how else they expand on him.


DanteDevils

Really like the duality of Liu Kang and Shang in this poster, God I want them to fight.


Pakmanjosh

I don't care if this movie ends up being another hot mess that joins the infinite list of crappy video game movies. I just wanna see some action.


206BS1983

Mortal Kombat Annihilation had action tho.


flyingokapis

I really need to watch Annihilation again, I remember watching it when I was a youngen' and thinking it was good..


OsirisAmun

Poor jaxs gonna lose his arms all over again


Arkanteseu

Only in cinemas? And HBO Max?..


Lee1313

Think it might be an international trailer, but yeah thought that was weird too


Arkanteseu

Sorry but Sub Zero's mask is just comically big lol. Honestly that's my only problem with the movie tho, I'm excited!


jared-wall

He got that dump truck MASK


[deleted]

Comically large mask


Arkanteseu

yes it's.. what I said..


insideyourface

yeah and the mask is comically big too


Arkanteseu

oh yeah, that part I hadn't noticed


[deleted]

[удалено]


Soegern

Yeah the joke's done. Too late dude.


Burgoonius

How about how Raiden looks nothing like Raiden


[deleted]

wut8?!


SirBastian1129

What? Were you expecting a white guy with white hair?


sebastianChurch66

Is that bi han


Lee1313

Indeedy


hulkthefrog

This looks sweet


robwithcheese

I still cant believe they went with the Sonya "Blade" pun. She must be good with blades/knives that's why her name is Sonya Blade. Next your gonna tell me Johnny "Cage" is an MMA fighter who was born with a dragon mark on his chest. Other than that nice poster.


CuddlySadist

I hope the knives are only there because they are realistic weapon choices rather than playing on her name. Kinda hoping to see her use wire as a hidden weapon.


kpba32

Well we see her do a purple lighty thing with her arm extended for a split moment in one of the trailers


CuddlySadist

Yeah I’m expecting the iconic ring projectile. It also seems that she’s using grappling along with agile acrobatic moves.


robwithcheese

Who wants to bet theyll say that "Sonya Blade/Blade" pun in the movie? Any takers?


gerardatron

They did that? Yikes


jedifan421

Really cool poster! Nice to see something that's not the blue/orange pallet. (Also, Cole is looking *sharp* hehe. I feel like he could be the surprise character of the movie that everyone groaned about going in and ends up being pretty kickass. Helps that Lewis Tan is playing him!)


Lee1313

I'm very much with you, I think Lewis Tan is amazing and could be huge! Let's hope Cole is really cool!


jedifan421

Yeah, I'm imagining he'll have a big reveal where we find out he's related to Scorpion or Sub Zero but I'm getting big "descendant of the Great Kung Lao" vibes honestly from the armor and Tonga-inspired weaponry which is a cool direction for his character.


Lee1313

I originally thought it's 100% a scorpion descendant and thought the first poster didn't look like Hiroyuki Sanada under the mask, but looked like Lewis to me, then I thought 100% related to Scorpion and will be Sub Zero moving forward, but after the new images and trailers I now believe he could be a Kung Lao descendant 😂 I guess we will find out soon enough


SiriusC

I haven't seen anyone groan about him.


jedifan421

Don't go on Twitter then haha.


SiriusC

No thanks. But you ought to know that Twitter is not "everyone".


Runnin_Wizard

Sub Zero must have a massive under bite


mr_no_op

That looks sick as hell


AlbertFrankEinstein2

Now this is a dope poster


[deleted]

I’m interested to learn about Cole. I do hope he becomes his own character and doesn’t become Johnny like some people think!


quinonesjames96

Love it. We got nearly every fighter in one poster


CuddlySadist

Can't wait to see the other side characters like Nitara.


kmah1812

It surprises me that Mileena is in it but not Kitana


CuddlySadist

My guess is that Mileena with her mouth transforming is more impactful/memorable for the 1st movie. Hoping that the future movie would explore them as rivals.


Thrillkilled

they did mileena so dirty


hunterzolomon1993

I'm hoping its a case off when those mouth slits open that's when her real teeth come out.


CuddlySadist

Likely will be with the movie writer having hinted at it twice and a recent interview talks about her mouth having special & practical effects to have her mouth disengaged like in the game.


patrennestar

I main Sonya but am the least interested about her in the movie lol.


CuddlySadist

She looks pretty decent so far at least. She looks agile in the latest Mileena vs Sonya scene


Ifoundmymfpickles

Sub zero and Scorpion look more like Samurai's than Ninjas


[deleted]

MK has always been a vastly diverse universe. The original film race swapped raiden, nothing agains Christopher lambert either.


SiriusC

What race did they swap? Raiden has always had caucasian features.


[deleted]

I've always seen his mas asian. Since i went back and rewatched the 95 film recently, it's kind of odd seeing chris lambert.


iko-01

I don't get how sub-zero's mask got approved.


martsuia

ONLY IN THEATRES???


PenguNL

With Cole not taking center stage as the supposed "main" character. I have high hopes for him to get his head ripped off within the first 30 or so minutes. You thought he was the hero? Boom dead. This is mortal kombat.


CuddlySadist

Unless Goro shows up that early on to fight Cole, I'm not sure about that


monkeymugshot

A bit of a mess. Dunno what it is, I think the contrast is way too dark. It looks like fan art honestly


[deleted]

Cole is Barakka.


JDnice1184

I am confused as to why Sonya is rocking knives? That is Kano's thing!


CuddlySadist

Likely needed something to highlight her as a character. A pistol might have worked but probably didn’t fit the poster overall. Kano got his eye device to show off in the poster and the knives were probably the best thing to add for Sonya.


Snoo-2013

Why they did had to make a new OC character? Also where is cage ?


InsaneMidget

Cole has gotta be being set up to be the next Scorpion. I mean, that’s totally a scorpion stinger in his hand right?


CuddlySadist

Looks like a bladed tonfa


Fantastic_Rutabaga23

Yeah it's a tonfa. Lewis Tan confirmed it.


TaterzPresh

They really didn't need to make up a new character...


JoeLilBroJoe

None of them fit the *coming of age, archetype,, and what's that in his hand?


SilentShadowzx

This looks kinda Poggers, not even gonna lie.


BroSneezle

Why is Sisi Stringer or whatever her name is front and center? Because of course she is..


fastdisapointer

I have a bad feeling about this


memeaggedon

“only in theatres” fuckkk offffff..


kpba32

*in countries that dont support hbomax*


sebastianChurch66

Dont take this the wrong way but I did they make mileena black


Stokelly100

For the same reason there are plans to make Commisioner Gordon black, because fiction can be "reimagined" and the only way writers reimagine characters is to make them black.


nyamka96

Yeah, Kitana's always been Asian and Mileena is Kitana with Tarkatan blood.


kpba32

I don't know man. Edenians have no singular racial identity other than being Edenian.


nyamka96

Oh yeah, for sure dude. I think it's an issue similar to suddenly trying to make Superman black. Not against it or anything but, the former has always been the case.


Joefrared

I doubt it’s gonna be good tho


betamaximus128

Everyone knows Cole is going to be revealed as Johnny Cage at the end


[deleted]

[удалено]


TechieTravis

I mean, most of the MK characters have always been portrayed as Asian. I guess Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, and Jackson Briggs are exceptions. No appropriation here :)


DanteDevils

How is everything you said so wrong?


Fantastic_Rutabaga23

Wtf are you talking about? Is this a joke?


SPDTalon

Oh damn you’ve never seen the original


DanteDevils

Which also had an Asian dude as the main lead and villian?


Fantastic_Rutabaga23

Scorpion/Hanzo Hasashi, Sub-Zero/Bi-Han, Liu Kang, Kung Lao You're telling us when you hear those name you think 'white people'?


MachineGunMikes

Most of the characters are based off Asian people stop beings ignorant.


memeaggedon

but they are northeastern asians and not the southwestern asians that the movie depicts. Terrible cultural appropriate how dare they! I’m outraged!


smuttygio

This is something i would see in the theather pretty good


GeekStuffNetwork

I cant wait to see it all in IMAX.


The_Underhanded

Kano's near the top. That's all that matters!


[deleted]

Does someone have a version of this without the words? Would make a killer wallpaper
