The Australian actress, who plays Sonya Blade in the franchise, wore a one-shoulder gown made with a semi-transparent design.

The film is directed by Simon McQuoid and written by Jeremy Slater. It is based on the long-running video game franchise “Mortal Kombat” and continues the story of Earthrealm’s fighters as they prepare for another major conflict.
The plot follows Earthrealm’s champions as they are pushed into a new fight involving Johnny Cage and a growing threat led by Shao Kahn, whose rise puts their world in danger. The story focuses on survival, alliances, and battles between powerful warriors.
Production on the film went through several stages, including filming in Australia, a pause due to industry strikes, and later completion after production resumed. The movie is now scheduled for theatrical release on May 8, 2026, with Warner Bros. handling distribution. A third installment is already being planned.
