The scope of the upcomingMortal Kombatmovie reboot isn’t entirely clear at the time of this writing, but we now know it will likely include characters fromMortal Kombat 3. This was confirmed by screenwriter Greg Russo, who confirmed to a fan on Twitter that there are indeed plans forMortal Kombat 3characters in the movie.
Russo didn’t elaborate on whichMortal Kombat 3characters may appear in theMortal Kombatmovie reboot, but there are a number of options. This includes the likes of Noob Saibot, Nightwolf, Jade, Kabal, and many more. But perhaps the specificMortal Kombat 3characters appearing in theMortal Kombatmovie reboot are less important than the knowledge that the reboot will be featuring characters from multiple games in the series.

This revelation about theMortal Kombatmovie rebootleaves the door wide open for virtually any of the characters throughout the game series to appear in the film. Even so, we expect that theMortal Kombatmovie reboot will primarily focus on characters from the first game, or otherwise the most well-known characters in the franchise.
For example, most of theMortal Kombatmovie reboot charactersthat have been cast so far appeared in the first game in the series. This includes Raiden, Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. However, someMortal Kombat 2characters are also confirmed for the cast, including Jax, Kung Lao, and Mileena.
It’s nice to see that theMortal Kombatmovie reboot will have a nice mix of characters from throughout the video game series. However, it remains to be seen if some of the newer characters will make it into the movie. Some fans may want to see Cetrion, Geras, andThe Kollector fromMortal Kombat 11on the big screen. Others may be more interested in seeing some of the characters introduced inMortal Kombat X, like Cassie Cage, D’Vorah, Erron Black, and Jacqui Briggs.
Depending on how closely theMortal Kombatmovie reboot follows the plot of the game series, some of those characters may not appear until future installments. With theMortal Kombatmovie featuring Fatalities and embracing a hard R rating, it seems safe to say that the movie will be faithful to the source material, so it seems likely that whoever does appear will be portrayed properly at the very least.
