Undoubtedly, it has been days filled with adrenaline and excitement for Mortal Kombat fans. Not only Warner Bros. Games Shared the first previews and official details of the new video game in the franchise, but there were also updates regarding the sequel to the cinematic reboot.
In case you've forgotten, the Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios franchise made its second jump to the big screen in 2021 with a live-action film that, despite receiving mixed reviews and having a moderate box office performance, became one of HBO Max's biggest successes.
The sequel was given the green light last year, and new details about this cinematic production are gradually coming to light. Now, a recent report has revealed that an actress who participated in another popular video game adaptation could join the cast and play one of the most popular characters in the fighting IP.
