Elissa Cadwell Will Play the Vampire Nitara in the James Wan-Produced ‘Mortal Kombat’ Movie
Writer Greg Russo recently teased that more characters from the Mortal Kombat games would be featured in the upcoming James Wan-produced film than have thus far been announced, and on that note, today brings word that Nitara will appear in the movie. The character will be played by stuntwoman Elissa Cadwell (Aquaman), Russo confirms.
Nitara, a vampire who drinks the blood of her enemies, first appeared in 2002’s Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Check out her patented “Feast of Blood” Fatality below!
The ensemble cast also includes Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Chin Han as Shang Tsun, Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden and Sisi Stringer as Mileena. Lewis Tan (Wu Assassins) is playing an unknown leading character.
Russo wrote the script, with Simon McQuoid directing. We’ve been promised a rated “R” adaptation of the video games that will most definitely feature Fatalities.
The fight will begin on March 5, 2021. Plot details are under wraps at this time.
