John Cena

In an interview with Dan Allen Gaming, Reptile actor Andrew Morgado accidentally let slip that Robert Patrick was filming lines for Mortal Kombat DLC as T-1000, the villainous android shapeshifter from Terminator 2.

Mortal Kombat 1's first Kombat Pack includes three comic-book characters, Peacemaker, Omni-Man (from Invincible), and Homelander (from The Boys). All three have appeared in TV adaptations over the past few years, with the first two played by John Cena and J. K. Simmons respectively. They're both reprising their roles for MK1, but there's still no word on whether Antony Starr will.

James Gunn has confirmed that Peacemaker season 2 will address the new DC continuity introduced by his new cinematic universe.

2K has confirmed that online services for WWE 2K22 will soon be permanently closed.

‘s Creative Director Ed Boon has teased the possible inclusion of a horror icon as a downloadable character in the game.

The first full trailer for Kingsman creator Matthew Vaughn's new action comedy Argylle is finally here – and, well, we're still none the wiser as to what it's really about. What we do know, though, is that the teaser, which you can watch above, sees Bryce Dallas Howard's timid spy novelist Elly Conway having a pretty... cat-astophic day.

There aren’t many action franchises like the Expendables movies.

While Mortal Kombat 1 has been populated by a majority of incredible voice performances, many players like to give the voice actors and actresses behind their favorite MK characters some props. To embody a character and give an impeccable performance is more than just doing weird voices and standing in front of a mic. It is to understand a character’s motives, its background, its emotions, and many more. This game is full of stellar performances. For that reason, here is the Mortal Kombat 1 voice cast.

The co-creator of the Mortal Kombat series and director of Mortal Kombat 1, Ed Boon, has revealed that it was a consideration during the most recent game’s development to have every single character played by a recognizable actor.

Learning who the guest fighters are going to be in the next Mortal Kombat game has become as big a part of the build-up to its release as the reveal of the base roster. Among the guest stars in Mortal Kombat 1 are John Cena's Peacemaker, Invincible's Omni-Man, and Homelander from The Boys. Despite the superhero/supervillain theme when it comes to the new Mortal Kombat game's guests, Ed Boon has revealed the team tried to get John Wick on the roster.

This fighting game series is getting more cinematic with each entry, so it makes sense the Mortal Kombat 1 cast list is stellar. It includes Hollywood talent like John Cena and Megan Fox. Additionally, there are talented voice actors like Steve Blum and Jennifer Hale on this project. Here’s the full Mortal Kombat 1 cast list.

Mortal Kombat 1 is gearing up to be a bit of a celebrity fest — what with the likes of JK Simmons, John Cena, and Megan Fox all putting in an appearance — but perhaps its most perfect addition is 80s action star Jean-Claude Van Damme, cameoing as Johnny Cage, whose in-game likeness has now debuted online courtesy of series co-creator Ed Boon and a bunch of chicken wings.

When Mortal Kombat 1 was announced in May, one of the first (and most fascinating) details revealed about the game was its inclusion of actor/martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme making an appearance as Johnny Cage. Van Damme is partially responsible for the very existence of Mortal Kombat; he declined to appear in a proposed arcade game from then-developer Midway, leading MK co-creators Ed Boon and John Tobias to come up with an original fighting game project instead.

Mortal Kombat 1 has been on a roll since it started dropping teases and trailers left and right. With each one, we get a new look at the new world Liu Kang has created, and it’s an intriguing one, to say the least. However, that’s not the only thing people have noticed about the upcoming title. It’s clear to many that NetherRealm Studios isn’t just bringing in classic Kombatants to fight, but they’re trying hard to get some big-name celebrities of both the voice-acting community and Hollywood proper to help out. One such big name is Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Since its reveal earlier this year, Mortal Kombat 1 has been unveiling its star-studded cast, one big name after another. Between J.K. Simmons reprising the role of Omni-Man from Invincible to John Cena being confirmed as Peacemaker, the roster is looking to be fierce in terms of both fighters and their actors. Warner Bros. Games revealed one more member of the cast in September: Megan Fox, of Transformers (2007) and Jennifer’s Body (2009) fame will be playing the role of Nitara in Mortal Kombat 1 . 

A brand new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game has been revealed, and it follows on from the events of surprise hit TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, with painterly visuals inspired by the film’s striking art style.

Exciting news for anyone who’s ever wanted to see if Megan Fox could take on Johnny Cage or Kitana in a fight: it’s been confirmed that the American actress is joining the Mortal Kombat 1 roster as the face and voice of the fierce vampiric fighter, Nitara.

The battle gets even more intense with the addition of Tekken characters in Brawlhalla. Now available in the game’s store, you can pick each of the characters up for 300 Mammoth Coins.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is getting a video game sequel – and it's set to release sooner than you might think. Outright Games, the publisher behind family-friendly titles such as PAW Patrol: Grand Prix and Jumanji: The Video Game, announced the adaptation will be launching on consoles and PC in 2024. 

Mortal Kombat has a long tradition of introducing guest characters from across media to its roster of fighters, and the upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 will, of course, continue that tradition, with Invincible’s Omni-Man, The Boys’ Homelander, and DC’s Peacemarker having been officially announced as post-launch DLC characters for the fighter.

Happy Friday, Polygon readers!

What is there to say about Fortnite that hasn’t been said before by us or by other writers and content creators? It’s the game that shouldn’t have been a big hit and yet came to define a gaming generation.

Have you ever found yourself playing video games, only to wish that all of your senses could be tantalized? Games can provide stunning visuals and beautiful soundtracks, and the controller is carefully designed to work with a player’s sense of touch. But what about smell?

San Diego Comic-Con has sadly come and gone, and many fans are still reeling from the “lesser” shown that we got due to the writers/actors strike that prevented certain things from being shown. However, when it came to video games, there were multiple panels that blew the roof off of the place due to the announcements made. Easily the biggest in many respects was Mortal Kombat 1.
