Mortal Kombat fans, here’s some music to your ears. Greg Russo wants you to know that the film will be the blood-filled fight fest you’ve made it very clear that you want. Flawless victory on your part.
The writer for the upcoming remake recently chatted with ComicBook.com’s Adam Barnhardt about the pic and was cautious to point out that we shouldn’t expect any over-the-top gore, a la 1980’s Cannibal Holocaust. When a director gets arrested in a foreign country for making a snuff film, he probably overdid it a little.
But will those classic in-game fatalities be included? Absolutely. Russo pointed out that even those, however, won’t be gratuitous and will have a purpose.
“… if we’re going to do it to use that device, we want to make sure that it’s not just in there just to be in there and have that point to the story.

It’s positively criminal that the greatest and most iconic Marvel villain of all time hasn’t gotten the big screen treatment he so clearly deserves. I’m talking, of course, about Doctor Doom.
We saw Julian McMahon’s take on the role in 2005’s Fantastic Four and 2007’s Rise of the Silver Surfer, and Toby Kebbell’s villain in 2015 in the dreadful Fantastic Four, but all of those films were terrible and they all altered Doom in some crucial way. But things should change very soon. With Disney and Marvel Studios now controlling the rights to the Fantastic Four, expect Doom to rear his masked head in the McU sooner rather than later. And here’s a neat way they could introduce him.
