James Wan's Mortal Kombat movie reboot has found its Sonya Blade and Kano.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on Sunday (August 26) that The Meg star Jessica McNamee and Australian actor Josh Lawson have been cast as Sonya Blade and Kano, respectively.

Additionally, Deadpool 2 actor Lewis Tan has also landed a lead role in the film, but it's not yet known which character he'll be playing.

The new cast members join The Raid: Redemption star Joe Taslim, who was previously revealed to be playing iconic character Sub-Zero.

At the moment, we still know very little about Wan's adaptation of the gory fighting game, except for the fact that it'll be R-rated and (thankfully) feature Fatalities, the gloriously violent finishing moves used by players.

The reboot's writer Greg Russo wrote on Twitter: "Since it's already been stated by other members of the team, I'm gonna put this one to bed. MK WILL be R-Rated and for the first time EVER, FATALITIES will FINALLY be on the big screen (and no I'm not gonna say which ones) You'll just have to wait for the movie & see!!!"

Wan's new Mortal Kombat will start production 27 years after the video game first launched, and 24 years after Hollywood first adapted it into a live-action blockbuster.

Mortal Kombat is expected to arrive in cinemas on March 5, 2021.
