Here’s a plot summary: “MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family’s safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?”

The highly anticipated Mortal Kombat movie is out now and we caught up with breakout star Sisi Stringer to learn more about her!

The up-and-coming Australian actress plays the role of femme fatale Mileena in the new adaptation of the beloved video game franchise. This is her first major movie and she spent four months training for the physically challenging role.

Sisi quickly caught on to the muay thai and gymnastics training thanks to her background in dance and musical theater.

Make sure to check out the trailer for the movie, which is in theaters and on HBO Max now. Here are 10 Fun Facts about Sisi:

1. In high school I shaved my head, down to a number 2, and for my senior year wore a plastic tiara to school every day, including graduation.
2. My favorite video game of all time is Paper Mario and The Thousand Year Door on Nintendo GameCube.
3. I cry all the time. Sometimes multiple times a day. The other day I cried at a video of Tibetan throat singing. I have been known to cry over the absence of lemons, ads for eyebrow gel and while listening to BLACKPINK and BTS.
4. My favorite genres of music are blues, country and soul. That’s the kind of music I write.
5. I have seen every episode of Drag Race, minus season one because I hate that damn Vaseline filter.

Warner Bros. has dropped the first seven minutes of Mortal Kombat.

In the gory opening sequence to the movie, fans can see what actually happened to Scorpion.

The visual lets fans watch as Hanzo Hasashi, who was a warrior of the Shirai Ryu ninja clan in 17th-century Japan, after the murder of his wife and son, is also killed himself, by a rival clan of Chinese assassins called the Lin Kuei.

In the new clip, Hanzo is seen with his signature weapon, the kunai blade attached to a length of rope.

Mortal Kombat centers on MMA fighter Cole Young, who, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage – or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down.

Fearing for his family’s safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with.

Mortal Kombat will be released on Friday, April 23, in theaters and HBO Max.
