Monet muistavat vuoden 1995 Mortal Kombat -elokuvan, mutta uusikin versio on tulossa. Käsikirjoittajana häärii Greg Russo, joka on painottanut Comic Bookille, että elokuva on todellakin ansainnut lapsilta kielletyn ikärajan eli R-Ratingin.
"And in terms of the content, yeah. I mean we're ... I think there's always a thin line, you know, you don't want to be over the top, right? With your violence and I don't know that that's really going to ... that may put people off. I'm not sure that's even necessary. So you want to be truthful, but you also you don't want to be so ridiculous and gratuitous that you may turn people off in the wrong way. So I would just say that it's going to be faithful to the games, but yeah. And it's going to earn it's R rating, I guess I'll say that."
Elokuvassa nähdään myös Fatality-liikkeitä. Ensi-illan on määrä olla Atlantin toisella puolella 5. maaliskuuta 2021.
