The website Entertainment Weekly has conducted an interview with Simon McQuoid, the director for the upcoming Mortal Kombat Movie. In this interview, McQuiod gives us new details about the movie's plot, characters (including the new character Cole Young), the references and Easter Eggs to the MK games, and of course the level of violence and gore in the movie. Along with this information, the interview gives us some images of the movie, showcasing the following characters: Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Scorpion, Sub-Zero (Bi-Han), Sonya Blade, Jax Briggs, Kano and Cole Young.

Check out the interview in the link above.

Kori-Maru also covered the images that are shown in the article, directly taken from the official Mortal Kombat Movie Twitter page.

Author's opinion: This movie keeps being better and better, and the characters that are show in the pictures look excellent. I really like what they did with Kano, by removing the metal plate from his face while still showcasing that the right side of his face is cyberized. That's what NetherRealm Studios/Warner Bros. has done with Mileena in Mortal Kombat XL with her Tarkatan mouth. That's a really smart move on their part. Speaking of MKXL, it's seems that they are taking the same plot direction that Johnny Cage's had which was revealed in Mortal Kombat 9 (2011) and expanded in MKXL as being a descendant of ancient cult, and attach that to Cole through the MK symbol. Interesting idea, considering that it also gives the MK symbol a bigger part in the story. Once again I'm really excited about the movie.

The YouTuber Mr. Alucard has uploaded a new video, showcasing secret unique interactions in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate with Kronika. Those interaction lines come right after Kronika beats the opponent and right before the announcer goes to the Finish Him portion of the fight. As you can see, Mr. Alucard showcases the interactions between Kronika and the entirety of the playable roster of MK11U, and he clearly made sure that the Prehistoric Age Hourglass stage Dinosaur will be an integral part of the video. It should be noted though that Kronika doesn't have any secret and unique dialogue with Mileena, Rain, Joker and Rambo.

Here's the video below, enjoy.
