Mortal Kombat was originally adapted for the big screen back in 1995 by director Paul W.S. Anderson, and was followed by 1997’s Mortal Kombat Annihilation. The series sat on ice for more than two decades until McQuoid rebooted the franchise in 2021, which focussed on the characters of Sub-Zero and Scorpion.
The Mortal Kombat reboot was a pretty major success, driving what would become the biggest box office weekend in North America since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, puling in $22.5 million in its opening weekend.
