Just as promised, the first trailer for the highly anticipated Mortal Kombat is here, and it's packed with more than a few fatalities.

This marks the third time we're getting a flick based on the hugely successful video game series, and this one is being helmed by director Simon McQuoid, who's actually stepping out with his directorial debut with Mortal Kombat.

As could be expected, the game's most popular characters are all here. This includes Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Mehcad Brooks as Jax Briggs, Josh Lawson as Kano, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Max Huang as Kung Lao, Sisi Stringer as Mileena, Elissa Cadwell as Nitara and Daniel Nelson as Kabal.

Mortal Kombat is set for a hybrid release on April 16, when it will both arrive in select theatres and via HBO Max (so likely On Demand in Canada).

While you wait it out, watch the first trailer to Mortal Kombat below.
