Mortal Kombat Reboot Finds It’s Jax; Raiden & Mileena

It’s Happening! Mortal Kombat is starting to take shape since James Wan and crew have found their Jax, Raiden, and Mileena actors.

Like the game says, it’s time to FIGHT! Read on for more details on Mortal Kombat Reboot Finds It’s Jax; Raiden & Mileena…

CelebNMovies247.com reports that Supergirl actor Mehcad Brooks, Thor: Ragnarok actor Tadanobu Asano, and newcomer Sisi Stringer are all in talks to join Mortal Kombat.

According to reports Mehcad Brooks is in negotiations to portray Jackson “Jax” Briggs, Sisi Stringer is Mileena, and Tadanobu Asano is taking on the role of Raiden, the Japanese god of thunder.

These are all huge castings and could throw this movie over the top. New Line is reportedly looking for a diverse cast to reflect the “global nature of the franchise.” Joe Taslim is playing Sub-Zero in the movie, which was announced earlier this year.

Mortal Kombat writer Greg Russo recently commented on the hard R-rating, noting that the movie will certainly earn it.

This is actually good thing since maybe the movie will reflect the Fatality moves from the game.

Russo said:

Game accurate? Yes, we are… I can say for sure that the fatalities that we’re gonna put into the film are from the game.

He adds:

It will feel awesome and badass, but it’s going to play a role, you know, it’s not just going to be there just to be showy.

Details about James Wan‘s Mortal Kombat are being kept under wraps at the moment, which is working in the project’s favor.

Mortal Kombat Reboot is set to “FIGHT” on the big screen on March 5, 2021.
