Taking to Twitter, Mortal Kombat producer Todd Garner revealed that the movie is now without a release date until further notice and we shouldn’t expect a trailer anytime soon.

“Well, I thought by the casts’ social media you would’ve figured out we’re shooting a few more days,” said Garner. “We’d always planned for it & thought we’d do it in March. The pandemic had other plans. We won’t have a release date for the movie until theaters re-open. Same for trailer.”

While we don’t know many plot details, we do know McQuoid’s new adaptation will be rated R with actor Lewis Tan teasing the film’s approach to the infamous fatalities featured in the video games.
