Overview

  • Filmmakers unveiled an official image detailing Noob Saibot’s return as the resurrected Bi-Han with his signature shadow-clone ability
  • Director Simon McQuoid collaborated with costume designer Cappi Ireland to draw inspiration from the games, including the Khaos Reigns expansion, for a faithful shadow-wraith aesthetic
  • The suit combines low-gloss textured black rubber under-skin with dark grey pearlescent reflective armor to capture the character’s colorless form against Netherrealm’s fiery backdrop
  • Ireland’s team engineered a gravity-defying, long-sided hat using custom materials to maintain elegance without sacrificing authenticity to the character’s video game look
  • Mortal Kombat II remains on track for its October 24 theatrical release and expands its roster with Johnny Cage and other fighters poised to challenge Shao Kahn’s Outworld forces
