As McQuoid himself said in the full interview, they really wanted to create a character that people would literally choose to play as in a Mortal Kombat game. That’s not what fans of the new film got though, as instead, Lewis Tan’s protagonist is given something new and exciting to bring to the table. Obviously we didn’t just want to have ‘Scorpion II,’ he needed to be his own thing.Ī simpler version of Mortal Kombat’s Hasashi family inheritance would have probably seen Cole Young become “the new Scorpion,” just as Simon McQuoid hinted in his remarks above. ![]() And then, what were the key ingredients to represent Scorpion, and what their bloodline was. He was born out of the Scorpion lineage, so we knew we were dealing with the properties from that bloodline. But there were some real key ingredients that we were working with. But as you’ll see below, Simon McQuoid and his Mortal Kombat team had to carefully balance homage and uniqueness in Cole’s abilities:Ĭole’s character development was a process that, like I was saying before, it just kept evolving and evolving. That fire energy is one of the many connections to Scorpion, also known as Hanzo Hisashi (Hiroyuki Sanada.) Once he shows up in the NetherRealm at the end of Mortal Kombat, that fire power fully manifests in his being which is fitting as he’s the sworn enemy of Bi Han (Joe Taslim,) better known to the folks at home as Sub-Zero. Not to mention, Hanzo’s newfound fire powers in the NetherRealm make an appearance too, as seen in the glowing that comes from within each time Cole is hit. The manifestation of his powers is a gold armor that is reminiscent of Scorpion’s kunai, right down to how it wraps around him. … There’s the energy within the kunai as well, that then as he gets hit with things, the energy builds within him.īy time we get to the final fight in Mortal Kombat, Cole Young discovers his Arcana just as Prince Goro starts to threaten his family. The kunai being such an important part of the story, we set it up and pay it off later, there was an ingredient to the way… so the way that wrapped together, and how that handle wraps becomes what wraps So he’s almost, not literally, but a manifestation of the kunai. McQuoid described Cole Young’s powers from the film, as follows: With each character having their own unique Arcana, which in turn grants them a super ability akin to the special moves they would have in the game, each fighter’s skills are unique. Simon McQuoid recently spoke with the ReelBlend podcast, and he gave our hosts some deeper insight into just how the production developed the powers for Lewis Tan’s Mortal Kombat protagonist. ![]()
