Todd Garner, producer on the 2021 Mortal Kombat <\/i>live-action film, has claimed that the movie won’t get a new release date or advance trailer until such a time as American theaters re-open. The news comes from a brief exchange on Twitter on the morning of November 10th<\/sup>, in response to a fan’s question.<\/p>\n

Mortal Kombat<\/i> was originally scheduled to hit theaters in January of 2021, as per Deadline. Garner’s Tweet is the first announcement that its release has been postponed<\/a>. He also mentioned, however, that the cast and crew are using this time to do some additional shooting on the film, which was originally planned to take place in March.<\/p>\n

This marks the latest big delay for a mainstream movie in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is currently up-ending much of the American film industry<\/a>. In the wake of last week’s presidential election, which is likely to come hand in hand with big changes to how the nation is addressing the pandemic, this effectively places the Mortal Kombat <\/i>movie in limbo for the time being… or for as long as it takes its backers to get sick of losing money and stick it on VOD.<\/p>\n
