Actors Chris Pratt and Gal Gadot are reimagined by popular Australian artist Bosslogic as Mortal Kombat characters Johnny Cage and Kitana.

After giving his interpretation of Rhonda Rousey as Sonya Blade and Terry Crews as Jax, Bosslogic has re-imagined more celebrities as characters from Mortal Kombat. The new art shows Wonder Woman 1984 actor Gal Gadot and Guardians of the Galaxy actor Chris Pratt as Kitana and Johnny Cage, respectively.

Bosslogic, who shared the images on Instagram, reimagines Gadot as Princess Kitana. In the image, Gadot sports Kitana's blue mask, long gloves, striped fan and hairstyle. The look seems to take its inspiration from her Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 appearance.

As for Chris Pratt, Bosslogic adds Cage's signature sunglasses. The character is wearing a silver chain bearing the Mortal Kombat logo. This interpretation of the character seems to align more with his appearance in Mortal Kombat X.

Princess Kitana was the 10,000 year old princess of Edenia and stepdaughter of Mortal Kombat villain Shao Kahn. Kitana betrayed him to align herself with the Earthrealmers, who resisted his attempts to conquer their world. Originally debuting in Mortal Kombat II, she has remained a popular character throughout the series.

Johnny Cage was a struggling Hollywood actor and martial artist who joined the Mortal Kombat tournament to prove his fighting skills to his skeptical critics and dwindling audience. Originally perceived as arrogant and focused solely on jump starting his career, Cage grew to become a pivotal fighter and has remained a popular character since his debut in the original Mortal Kombat.

Since created by Ed Boon and John Tobias in 1992, Mortal Kombat has grown from a simple arcade fighting game to a multimedia juggernaut which includes dozens of video games, live-action movies, comic books and a possible upcoming animated movie from Warner Bros.

Developed by Netherealm Studios, Mortal Kombat 11 will be released on April 23 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. Those who preorder the game at select retailers will have access to an open beta on March 28 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
