Three more actors have come aboard the James Wan-produced Mortal Kombat, THR reports today, with The Meg actress Jessica McNamee (pictured above) in final negotiations to star as Sonya Blade and “Superstore’s” Josh Lawson (pictured below) officially signed on to play Kano. Additionally, Lewis Tan (Wu Assassins) is in talks to play an unknown leading character.
They join the previously announced Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Mehcad Brooks as “Jax,” Tadanobu Asano as Raiden and Sisi Stringer as Mileena.
Greg Russo wrote the script, with Simon McQuoid directing. We’ve been promised a rated “R” adaptation of the video games that will most definitely feature Fatalities.
The fight will begin on March 5, 2021. Plot details are under wraps at this time.
