All The Warner Bros. Films Coming To HBO Max In 2021

17. Mortal Kombat - January 15th

If you want to ring in the new year with guts, gore and serious spinal injuries, then the upcoming Mortal Kombat film (hopefully) has you covered.

Directed by newcomer Simon McQuoid and written by Greg Russo and Dave Callaham, Mortal Kombat will feature an ensemble cast including Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, Tadanobu Asano (from Martin Scorsese's Silence) as Raiden, and Ludi Lin as Liu Kang.

Lin recently made his name in the Power Rangers reboot, so hopefully his over the top kung-fu is up to snuff.

Originally a huge video game series, Mortal Kombat is known for intense fighting action and gruesome "fatalities," which screenwriter Russo tweeted would finally make it onto the big screen. The film is a reboot of the previous two adaptations, and is reported to have an "R" rating in the USA, indicating that the over the top gore and violence of the game will likely be a big part of the film.

With the film releasing in January, Mortal Kombat is a good incentive to buy a yearly subscription for HBO Max if you like the look of the rest of the Warner Bros. roster.
