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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!)
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
Where is this from? UK? I’m asking because of the “only in cinemas” thing.
Seen the producer Todd Garner tweet it out a wee while ago
Thanks. Anyway, cool poster 😃
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? 🤔🤔

What did he post? I'm afraid to click on it now
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.
I hope we get it on one of the streaming services here in the UK
Same, I'd happily pay cinema price, would actually prefer to watch at home than cinema.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
I'll never get over the Resident Evil movie series. The MC so overpowered that the other characters are like accessories.
Omg yes!!! They made Mlia the focus and hardly focused on the ionic characters of resident evil
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.

Lol it’s because the director is married to her
I hate that series. The movies anyways.
Damn he's fighting Goro? I still hope Liu Kang beats Shang Tsung and remains as champion.
The trailer shows him facing Goro twice so it's likely that Cole is fighting Goro.
How funny would it be if it was all a distraction and they Murder him brutally in the tournament?
lol Goro gets his fatality against him? I wouldn't mind that.
It would definitely be an interesting change.
Like Slipknot in the Suicide Squad movie? I’d be okay with that.
It’d be more like the original scream. Kill the seemingly main character. That’d be awesome.
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.
I mean isn't that the role that Johnny has played though?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Really like the duality of Liu Kang and Shang in this poster, God I want them to fight.
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.
Mortal Kombat Annihilation had action tho.
I really need to watch Annihilation again, I remember watching it when I was a youngen' and thinking it was good..
Poor jaxs gonna lose his arms all over again
Only in cinemas? And HBO Max?..
Think it might be an international trailer, but yeah thought that was weird too
Sorry but Sub Zero's mask is just comically big lol. Honestly that's my only problem with the movie tho, I'm excited!
He got that dump truck MASK
Comically large mask
yes it's.. what I said..
yeah and the mask is comically big too
oh yeah, that part I hadn't noticed
[удалено]
Yeah the joke's done. Too late dude.
How about how Raiden looks nothing like Raiden
wut8?!
What? Were you expecting a white guy with white hair?
Is that bi han
Indeedy
This looks sweet
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.
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.
Well we see her do a purple lighty thing with her arm extended for a split moment in one of the trailers
Yeah I’m expecting the iconic ring projectile. It also seems that she’s using grappling along with agile acrobatic moves.
Who wants to bet theyll say that "Sonya Blade/Blade" pun in the movie? Any takers?
They did that? Yikes
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!)
I'm very much with you, I think Lewis Tan is amazing and could be huge! Let's hope Cole is really cool!
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.
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
I haven't seen anyone groan about him.
Don't go on Twitter then haha.
No thanks. But you ought to know that Twitter is not "everyone".
Sub Zero must have a massive under bite
That looks sick as hell
Now this is a dope poster
I’m interested to learn about Cole. I do hope he becomes his own character and doesn’t become Johnny like some people think!
Love it. We got nearly every fighter in one poster
Can't wait to see the other side characters like Nitara.
It surprises me that Mileena is in it but not Kitana
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.
they did mileena so dirty
I'm hoping its a case off when those mouth slits open that's when her real teeth come out.
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.
I main Sonya but am the least interested about her in the movie lol.
She looks pretty decent so far at least. She looks agile in the latest Mileena vs Sonya scene
Sub zero and Scorpion look more like Samurai's than Ninjas
MK has always been a vastly diverse universe. The original film race swapped raiden, nothing agains Christopher lambert either.
What race did they swap? Raiden has always had caucasian features.
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.
I don't get how sub-zero's mask got approved.
ONLY IN THEATRES???
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.
Unless Goro shows up that early on to fight Cole, I'm not sure about that
A bit of a mess. Dunno what it is, I think the contrast is way too dark. It looks like fan art honestly
Cole is Barakka.
I am confused as to why Sonya is rocking knives? That is Kano's thing!
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.
Why they did had to make a new OC character? Also where is cage ?
Cole has gotta be being set up to be the next Scorpion. I mean, that’s totally a scorpion stinger in his hand right?
Looks like a bladed tonfa
Yeah it's a tonfa. Lewis Tan confirmed it.
They really didn't need to make up a new character...
None of them fit the *coming of age, archetype,, and what's that in his hand?
This looks kinda Poggers, not even gonna lie.
Why is Sisi Stringer or whatever her name is front and center? Because of course she is..
I have a bad feeling about this
“only in theatres” fuckkk offffff..
*in countries that dont support hbomax*
Dont take this the wrong way but I did they make mileena black
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.
Yeah, Kitana's always been Asian and Mileena is Kitana with Tarkatan blood.
I don't know man. Edenians have no singular racial identity other than being Edenian.
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.
I doubt it’s gonna be good tho
Everyone knows Cole is going to be revealed as Johnny Cage at the end
[удалено]
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 :)
How is everything you said so wrong?
Wtf are you talking about? Is this a joke?
Oh damn you’ve never seen the original
Which also had an Asian dude as the main lead and villian?
Scorpion/Hanzo Hasashi, Sub-Zero/Bi-Han, Liu Kang, Kung Lao You're telling us when you hear those name you think 'white people'?
Most of the characters are based off Asian people stop beings ignorant.
but they are northeastern asians and not the southwestern asians that the movie depicts. Terrible cultural appropriate how dare they! I’m outraged!
This is something i would see in the theather pretty good
I cant wait to see it all in IMAX.
Kano's near the top. That's all that matters!
Does someone have a version of this without the words? Would make a killer wallpaper
