As a result of the ongoing global health crisis, there is a level of uncertainty surrounding the film industry with theatres temporarily shutting down and studios significantly rescheduling their release date calendars, and now, it seems like the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot has now been affected.
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.”
