The release of the Mortal Kombat movie has been pushed back by one week. Fans of the classic fighting game have eagerly awaited a new movie franchise for years. Warner Bros. is now rebooting the series more than two decades after Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, which disappointed audiences in theaters. Excitement for the new film grew after the first trailer showcased its characters and brutal action.
The movie was originally set to release at the start of 2021. Warner Bros. delayed it to April 2021 to adjust its release strategy. The studio decided that all its 2021 movies, including Mortal Kombat, would debut both in theaters and on HBO Max at the same time. After a month, the films will leave the streaming service and continue exclusively in theaters.
This shift means fans will now wait slightly longer to see the franchise’s iconic fighters in live-action. Despite the delay, anticipation remains high, and audiences are eager to experience the film’s intense fight sequences and faithful adaptation of the beloved game.
