Greg Russo, who is credited with doing the writing, confirmed that shooting for the film is currently underway in Australia.

A first Mortal Kombat movie was released in 1995 but it wasn’t well-received and its sequel also failed to make any impact. Now, producer James Wan (director of Aquaman) is giving the reboot a push.

A reboot means that the filmmakers will ignore the events of the previous movies and start afresh with different actors playing the same characters, and maybe a few changes but the same central plot.
With Simon McQuoid filling the director’s shoes, the movie boasts names like Ludi Lin (who is playing Liu Kang) and Joe Taslim (Sub-Zero).
The movie has a release date of March 2021. That means that it is still going to be a while before we get to see it but it is hoped that we will be getting bits and pieces of information regarding the project.
