Mortal Kombat 1 was a title that provided a much-needed reboot to one of the most popular, brutal, and grotesque fighting game franchises ever. The game was an instant hit among franchise fans and featured an incredible ensemble of characters.
Homelander from the Prime Video Exclusive Web Series, The Boys, is a character on the game’s roster whose demeanor goes very well with the game’s setting. If you prefer using the strongest Supe as a main, you would appreciate this hidden brutality, especially if you face Kenshi.

Crossovers between different fictional universes began in the first place for the simple fun derived from matching up characters against their equally formidable counterparts, which is why crossovers are more common in fighting-based narratives. Some of the most popular fighting games, like Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter, have often brought their iconic characters together for battle royales, much to the fans’ amusement, and this time Netflix has wisely adopted the same strategy. After acquiring the rights to the anime adaptations of two of the most well-regarded fighting manga, Baki the Grappler and Kengan Ashura, Netflix took the time to build a fanbase among the viewers through multiple seasons. Eventually, just as both anime are on the verge of reaching their peak, Netflix has decided to pit some of the best fighters of both universes against each other in the recently released Baki Hanma vs. Kengan Ashura movie. As if...

For those wondering just what Ed Boon has planned for Mortal Kombat 1 in terms of its next crossover with a horror franchise, we may just have gotten our answer. After teasing fans last October over the next big-name horror icon to enter the arena, it would appear that Ghostface from the Scream franchise may be the latest to enter Mortal Kombat.
In a new YouTube video, dataminer Interloko has released audio files from a recent update to Mortal Kombat 1 that have Mileena as the announcer, with the files containing two instances of Mileena announcing Ghostface as the winner. You can find those instances in the video below at 5:18 & 5:21.
Obviously, neither Boon or Warner Bros have commented (yet) regarding this find. It’s also interesting, given that the final Dlc character for the Kombat Pack Dlc in Takeda Takahashi has yet to have a release date. This leak would...

Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 is live and has already received some changes. The patch notes fixed some bugs and made other small improvements but also brought a twist to one of the best weapons for Warzone.
The new update brought an unneeded and surprising nerf to the Dg-58 Lsw Lmg rifle. This has been a go-to-long-range weapon for quite some time for players thanks to its damage output and long range, but the meta is about to change, as the best weapon has been butchered to near uselessness.

Well, have you ever found yourself chuckling at the snarky banter between famous characters in the gaming universe? Regardless of the answer, get ready for a mash-up that’s making waves on social media! So, imagine a scene in Mortal Kombat where John Cena’s Peacemaker meets the notorious Homelander, and their shared dislike for aquatic superheroes becomes a delicious piece of their dialogue.

What do these two have in common, you might wonder? A mutual loathing for characters like Aquaman is so intense that even in the heat of battle, they can’t resist a snide comment. And with the recent viral tweet showcasing Peacemaker’s quip about “fish f*ckers” followed by Homelander’s eager agreement, it’s clear that this special feature of the game isn’t just about the fists—it’s about the wits!

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is the next entry in the fan-favorite Budokai Tenkaichi series of video games. The last game in the series was released in 2007, and since then, many spinoffs and sequels based on the Dragon Ball IP have come out.
Some reveals and marketing have been done for the game from the maker’s end. On the other hand, impatient fans are waiting and speculating what the game will hold in store for them. As posted by one such player on the game’s subreddit, a particular feature should be part of the game to make it more lore-accurate.

Sony‘s upcoming Ghosts of Tsushima adaptation could get some serious star power as rumors swirl about Shōgun actor Hiroyuki Sanada joining the cast. According to industry leaker @DanielRPK, Sanada is in talks to join the cast of the Chad Stahelski-directed action film with a screenplay by Takashi Doscher. While there’s no indication of who Sanada would play in the live-action movie, fans suspect Sanada could play Lord Shimura, the uncle of the game’s protagonist, Jin Sakai.
While this is not a confirmation of Hiroyuki Sanada’s involvement in the Ghosts of Tsushima movie, it wouldn’t be the first time the Japanese actor teamed up with Chad Stahelski for an action showcase of epic proportion. Sanda played Koji Shimazu, the manager of the Osaka branch of the Continental Hotel, in Stahelski’s John Wick: Chapter 4.

The original Mortal Kombat 1 game was released by Midway in arcades in October 1992. The established rivalry between Sub-Zero and Scorpion has become a feud that has lasted for more than 30 years giving us massive lore, fantastic battles, and eponymous finishers.
However, when Ed Boon, co-creator of the Mortal Kombat franchise decided to change this nostalgic lore and make Sub-Zero and Scorpion brothers in Mortal Kombat 1 reboot from 2023, many fans expressed their disapproval. That said, the controversial change wasn’t out of nowhere, since there is more to the brotherly bond between two Mortal Kombat ninjas.

From the original Mortal Kombat to Mortal Kombat 1, “Get Over Here” has become an iconic catchphrase among them. Basically, everything that Scorpion does has found a home in the hearts of people. One of his signature moves, when he harpoons the opponents through his Kunai rope dart, can raise the hair strands on anyone’s neck every time they hear it.
Little do they know, this could’ve become a matter of jokes today if the original concept had been added to the game. To that end, Scorpion might’ve become the cowboy running around, giving a loud “Yeehaw” instead of the original catchphrase. Maybe people would’ve given him a new alias, ‘Wonder Man’.
Mortal Kombat Would’ve Seen an Entirely Different Character

Since the original Mortal Kombat launched in arcades more than three decades ago, the fighting game series has been known for one aspect that sets it apart from other fighting games: its grotesque and over-the-top gore.
This has been at the center of controversy ever since. Still, it has also taught both Nintendo and creator Ed Boon one valuable lesson about the series that has gone on to sell more than 80 million copies globally.
Mortal Kombat Was Sanitized for the Snes
Mortal Kombat launched on the Snes without its iconic gory fatalities.
In an article in 2014, the BBC shed light on the impact the fighting game series has had on the entire gaming industry ever since the original Mortal Kombat saw the light of day in arcades in 1992. When the game was ported to the Snes and the Sega Genesis, the controversy surrounding the game and its brutal visuals took off.

Johnny Cage, Mortal Kombat’s arrogant movie star, has become a fighting game icon over the decades. His signature sunglasses and cocky one-liners have become instantly recognizable and have become a character trait that has persisted through all the various reboots of the gaming series.
Very few fans know that the inspiration for this martial arts movie star came from Marvel Comics’ Iron Fist.

Johnny Cage retains his signature personality in the series reboot, Mortal Kombat 1.
Johnny Cage has been a staple of the Mortal Kombat series since his first appearance. Created by Ed Boon and John Tobias, Cage was originally made as a parody of the typical 1980s action hero, also drawing heavy influence from real-life martial artist and actor Jean-Claude Van Damme. However, while crafting Cage’s persona, Boon also looked to a rather unexpected character – Iron Fist.

Back in 2018, "Dune" director Denis Villeneuve threw "Star Wars" fans into a tizzy (it doesn't take much these days) when he described his then-upcoming adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal sci-fi novel as being like "'Star Wars' for adults." Of course, that's not really an insult to the franchise or its fans, because "Star Wars" creator George Lucas made no secret of the fact that "Star Wars" is intended for kids.
In fact, during a surprise appearance at Star Wars Celebration in 2017, he reiterated that the very first "Star Wars" installment, which would go on to be titled "A New Hope," was a "a film for 12-year-olds." Of course, that doesn't mean adults can't still find value in these sci-fi stories of heroism. But it also means that the franchise, from its inception, has always been molded to be appealing to children.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that...

Few superheroes inspire dread as much as Homelander. It’s not just that he is a Superman clone, making him a god amongst men within the universe of The Boys. It’s that he is very well aware of this fact and isn’t restricted by any moral code. After all, in his own words, “I’m stronger, I’m smarter, I’m better. I Am Better!”
But, just as Supes has his Kryptonite, the superhero has his failings. He is an overgrown manchild who frequently lets his emotions dictate his actions. That makes him incredibly volatile and dangerous—two qualities making him a perfect addition to the Mortal Kombat 1 roster!

After a significant two-year development period, MultiVersus has finally moved from beta to a full launch on Steam. This milestone, however, has been met with a less-than-stellar reception, indicating that both Warner Bros. Games and Player First Games have a challenging journey ahead.
Yet, the current situation poses a significant challenge. The long-term success of a game is heavily reliant on a thriving player base, and MultiVersus is currently experiencing a noticeable decline in its player count compared to its peak. This decline could potentially create substantial obstacles for the game’s future.

After quite some time without news, Ed Boon and NetherRealm Studios finally confirmed the release date for the last character of Kombat Pack 1 in Mortal Kombat 1. Homelander, the popular main character from The Boys, will be available next week in the game.
Fans are not very pleased with the final version of this character; users on X say that it looks like a bad mod, and the lack of Antony Starr’s voice hurts the content. This was a strange choice, especially because Peacemaker has John Cena voicing the Dlc character.

We've caught a few glimpses of Homelander in action in previous trailers for Mortal Kombat 1, but Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios has now debuted a new teaser revealing the first gameplay for upcoming downloadable content (Dlc), and it unveils The Boys character's hilariously gruesome Fatalities.
The trailer features the leader of The Seven squaring off against several classic Mk characters, as he unleashes his formidable superpowers to gain a victory before "finishing" them off in spectacularly gory fashion.
Homelander's peculiar fetish for drinking... a certain type of milk also carries over from the Prime Video series!
"Homelander is the most powerful being on the planet and the leader of The Seven, the elite superhero team owned and managed by Vought International," reads the official character breakdown. "In a world where “Supes” are made, he’s the strongest of them all. Homelander presents himself as the ultimate patriot and protector,...

In the vast realm of comic book history, there have been several powerful and iconic superheroes, and DC’s Superman certainly occupies a high rank among them.

And so while there has been debate about whether Superman can defeat a certain Marvel or Anime character or not, his evil twin from the Dynamite Entertainment comics Homelander too has found his way into the discourse. And Antony Starr, who portrays Homelander in The Boys series, thinks his character would definitely defeat the DC hero. Yet, fans have conclusive proof that Superman is better, bigger, and bolder than Homelander when it comes to defeating evil.

Fighting games like those in the Dragon Ball universe cannot be compared to the brutality fans see in Mortal Kombat games. Bandai Namco will continue this tradition with the next game in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, Sparking Zero. Scratches are common in there—maybe a little drop of blood, but no brutality that paints the floor red.
The new Esrb-issued rating might confirm this as the self-regulatory organization puts the teen label on the upcoming game. However, that doesn’t mean fans would stop expecting the intense fights like in the original anime. But they sure must not expect any holes in the chests of the fighters stepping into the arena.

It was recently announced that Warner Bros./Legendary are officially moving forward with a follow-up to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, with writer Dave Callaham enlisted to pen the script for the untitled movie.
There was no mention of a potential director at the time, but it seems Adam Wingard, who helmed The New Empire and its predecessor Godzilla vs. Kong, was set to return.
Was being the operative word.
According to THR, Wingard is no longer in line to direct the project. Though the report stresses that he didn't have a deal in place, anyway, it sounds like he was tentatively attached prior to a parting of ways, which is described as "amicable and stemming from timing issues," with the door remaining "open for a future return."
Wingard is now expected to turn his attention to his next project, a new original feature that he wanted to tackle...

The cinematic adaptation of Street Fighter— a Japanese media franchise centering a series of games— proved to be quite hard to make after Jean-Claude Van Damme took a shot at it. The 1994 movie directed by Steven E. de Souza was adapted from the Street Fighter game series.

Now, nearly after three decades, a report of a Street Fighter reboot is swirling, but also struggling to make a hard splash. Fans are still doubtful about the movie adaptation of the games as Van Damme’s Street Fighter was not so impressive for fans or critics. And this was hard to endure for any action movie enthusiast. The movie could claim only an 11% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

It’s a known fact that NetherRealm’s Mortal 1 Kombat brought an existing and fresh reboot for the long-running franchise. Although the game had its issues, fans and critics received it well thanks to its constant updates and additions of new fighters to raise the stakes further. However, one of the most striking aspects of the game was Megan Fox’s feature as one of the fighters in the game!
In Mortal Kombat 1, Megan Fox voiced Nitara, one of the franchise’s most iconic fighters. While talking about her role as Nitara, she revealed she was an avid gamer, just like many of us. While many doubted her skills, Machine Gun Kelly could vouch for her as he will never forget Fox’s gaming dominance.

Whenever we think about blood, gore, and intense violence, only one name pops up in our mind: Mortal Kombat. NetherRealm’s iconic franchise is extremely popular among gamers and features some of the best fighting experiences ever. On the flip side, the Mortal Kombat movie, released in 2021, wasn’t that big of a success.
However, that hasn’t stopped Warner Bros. from taking a second chance and releasing another movie. The upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 is a fresh start and features big names Karl Urban and Jessica McNamee. While that’s all good, Warner Bros. has completely dropped the ball by not casting Dwayne Johson as Shao Kahn.

The rumor comes from industry scooper @MyTimeToShineH, who says Marvel plans to put Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop and Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton at the center of an outrageous plot with The Raid-like elements.
Okay. The last time someone told me something would feel like The Raid, we got 2021’s Mortal Kombat, which was fun, but saying it’s like The Raid is crazy talk. So, pardon me if I’m skeptical.

Games with swords speak of quiet promises. The moment you see a strong, silent character with a katana in hand, you know they mean business. Die by the Blade hones a neat set of sword skills that can put other games to shame, and tries to raise the bar in combat system design.
Challenging, fun, and addictive, Die by the Blade reflects a game design decision that holds a lot of potential. Unfortunately, due to its limited creative and artistic direction, it feels like an experience worthy of multiple expansions and single-player campaigns that aren’t yet actualized.
Die by the Blade launches on May 16 and arrives on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
A Slash in a Flash; Nothing More and Nothing Less Successful attacks and death animations feel incredibly satisfying.

Simon McQuoid’s 2021 feature directorial debut with the martial arts fantasy film Mortal Kombat has certainly created a splash among fans but it was far from having an impressive box office gross. Still, New Line Cinema alongside Atomic Monster and Broken Road Productions is bringing a sequel to the first movie with Warner Brothers distributing the movie.

Over a year ago, news surfaced that Amazon would be producing a live-action series centered around Spider-Man Noir, a superhero situated in 1930s New York City. Departing from the traditional Spider-Man narrative, this show will spotlight an older, more seasoned character distinct from Peter Parker. Developed by Oren Uziel, the series will carve its own path within the Marvel universe, with Uziel serving as both writer and executive producer.
The project has attracted notable industry figures, including producers Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal. Uziel, recognized for his work on films like ’22 Jump Street’ and the 2021 ‘Mortal Kombat,’ brings his expertise to the endeavor. This series is part of Amazon’s lineup of character-driven Marvel projects, joining the ranks of ‘Silk: Spider Society.’

Now, we have word that a sequel is officially in development, and Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have enlisted a writer to pen the script.
According to THR, Dave Callaham has signed on to write the untitled movie. No plot details have been disclosed, but it's assumed that both the King of the Monsters and the mighty Monarch of Skull Island will return to face a new, potentially world-ending threat.
Callaham has previously worked on several major studio tentpoles, including the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot, Wonder Woman 1984, Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. He also has some prior experience with Big G, having written the early drafts and received story by...

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings screenwriter Dave Callaham is going from the Marvelverse to the Monsterverse.
The scribe, known for his action acumen, has been tapped to pen the next installment of Legendary’s Godzilla/Kong monster movie series.
The hiring comes in the wake of the box office success of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which has grossed close to $555 million worldwide. That is the biggest haul since 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, which peaked at $568 million. Empire, which is still in theaters, may also be one of the most profitable (if not the single most profitable) of the five movies in the series, as it only cost $135 million, per sources. Thus Legendary is keen to keep the monster juice flowing.
Adam Wingard directed Empire and created the story with frequent collaborator Simon Barrett as well as Terry Rossio. Legendary has signaled it would like to...

Exclusive: Hiroyuki Sanada, star and producer of FX’s limited series Shōgun, has closed a deal to return as Lord Yoshii Toranaga, sources tell Deadline. Securing Sanada, whose character’s journey to become shōgun and lead Japan to an era of peace was chronicled in the 10-episode adaptation of James Clavell’s novel, has been considered crucial to any plan to extend Shogun beyond its original installment.
Other elements are still being worked out and deals are being finalized as part of an effort by FX to take Shogun to a second season in light of the big commercial and critical success of the limited series. The outcome of the effort would determine whether Shōgun would be considered a limited or drama series going forward, which could have major ramifications on the 2024 Emmy race, with the timing of the decision tied to the deadline for Emmy submissions.

It is likely that Lamar’s diss track will make it to the top, the only problem remains: which one? Writers of the popular American entertainment magazine have the same question.
The diss track aimed at the Canadian rapper also shattered one of the records on Spotify. The song dethroned Girls Wants Girls, which had the most hip-hop song streams in a single day. As of now, the track holds over 28 million views on video sharing platform YouTube.

Video games become more fun when an element of curiosity is added to them. Dark Souls does the same, as it is supposed to preserve the sense of mystery. Most of them are added as Easter eggs, but some are purely dedicated to the game those levels are in.

While it may appear like something players aren’t supposed to see, it is in fact there for them to see. While many of you know the games we are about to discuss, chances are you haven’t explored these areas in them yet.
