While Mortal Kombat: Legacy did a commendable job in quenching our thirst, it has been over 20 years since a Mortal Kombat movie has made an appearance on the big screen; 23 years since the release of the original film in 1995. However, it looks like the Warner Bros. and New Line Mortal Kombat reboot being produced by James Wan – originally announced in August 2015 – is actually moving forward full steam ahead, and will be introducing a brand new character to the franchise.

New character, Cole Turner, will make his debut in the Mortal Kombat universe as the film’s lead protagonist, according to a report from That Hashtag Show.

Cole’s character description is as follows:

Lead Male. 30s. A brand new character to the MK franchise. Cole is a struggling and widowed boxer who cares more about his young daughter than anything. He is incredibly determined and refuses to quit in the face of fantastical adversity.

If the premise of Cole’s character description sounds vaguely familiar for 90’s fighting games, you’re not far off. Jax, who was initially introduced in Mortal Kombat II video game, was originally developed as kickboxer. However, he was redeveloped as Sonya Blade’s military counterpart due to the fact that the Street Fighter franchise already had a boxing character in Balrog. Jax will reportedly also be making another theatrical appearance in the reboot, working with Cole as well as a newly reimagined Sonya Blade (check out her new character description below).

Sonya’s new description isn’t the only thing that will stand out to fans. The film also appears to be moving away from other Mortal Kombat staples, such as Johnny Cage, as well as fan-favorites, Sub-Zero and Scorpion, whose character descriptions are notably absent from the list. It would likely be a huge miss for the new reboot to not include the mortal enemies. Obviously, not all of the characters from the massive collection can be included in the film, but hopefully the iconic duo will be added in some capacity, at least as a nod to the long-time fans of the franchise.

Although his description is brief, Cole seems to be the typical kind of character that will be easy to root for. While the continually successful video games have introduced new characters to the series, Cole should provide a breath of fresh air for the films, getting away from the films’ former lead protagonist of Liu Kang (who is also reported to be included in the reboot).
