Well, director Simon McQuoid\u2019s <em>Mortal Kombat<\/em> reboot is releasing this month, giving us a darker tone, brutal violence, and the beloved characters we\u2019ve been dying to see. The plot revolves around the Mortal Kombat tournament (duh), but focuses on a new hero, Cole, who has to fight alongside and against the likes of Sonya Blade, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Jax, Kano, Raiden, and more classic characters.<\/p>\n<h3>VOYAGERS<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EwJkexUBSeg\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Release date:<\/strong> 16 April 2021<\/p>\n<p>Starring <em>Ready Player One<\/em>\u2019s Tye Sheridan, <em>Voyagers<\/em> follows a group of young men and women, bred for intelligence and obedience, who embark on an expedition to colonise a distant planet.
