　　Now Playing: Nightwolf Is Out In Mortal Kombat 11, So Let's Fight! | GameSpot Community Fridays

　　It was previously announced that Fast & Furious actor Joe Taslim would play Sub-Zero.

　　The new Mortal Kombat film, which has been in development for a long time, will be directed by Australian commercials director Simon McQuoid, who is making his directorial debut with the project. Aquaman director James Wan is producing. The movie will shoot in South Australia, and is set to be one of the country's biggest productions ever there.

　　The first Mortal Kombat movie, released in 1995, was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, who would go on to make the Resident Evil series. The movie made more than $120 million worldwide, but its 1997 sequel, Annihilation, was a disappointment by comparison with only $51 million.

　　An internet video series called Mortal Kombat Legacy ran from 2011-2013.
