If you are a Mortal Kombat fan, you know that things get real bloody, real fast.Lewis Tan (Into the Badlands) shared a photo from the set of the movie on Twitter where he appears battered and bloody from filming a previous scene. "Only the finale left on this vigorous yet edifying journey, I’ll wear the battle wounds (some fake some real) with pride," he wrote. "I am beyond excited to share this film with you all."
Tan's tweet confirms that the film is nearly done filming, which means it will enter the post-production stage soon. However, Tan was tight-lipped about any other details surrounding the film, including which mysterious character he will be playing.
The new Mortal Kombat film will serve as a reboot to Mortal Kombat (1995) and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997). The franchise also spawned two TV series: Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm and Mortal Kombat: Conquest.
Produced by James Wan, featuring the directorial debut of Simon McQuoid and starring Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Jessica McNamee, Hiroyuki Sanada, Joe Taslim, Mehcad Brooks, Josh Lawson, Sisi Stringer Elissa Cadwell and Tadanobu Asano, Mortal Kombat is expected to be in theaters March 5, 2021.
