With the unexpected casting of Hollywood diva Megan Fox as the bloodthirsty vampire Nitara in the eagerly anticipated Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm Studios has stirred up social media.
When Megan joined the MK family as a beloved 3D character from the MK era, fans were shocked and in awe.
Megan Fox shared snippets of her voice acting while talking about how similar she is to the character in a brand-new gameplay trailer that gave gamers an exciting first look at Nitara. Though some thought it odd that she chose to advertise her gruesome character while wearing a fluffy pink outfit.
Here is a link to the trailer:
Megan Fox, who has had a career spanning more than two decades, first gained notoriety for her breakthrough performance in the 2007 smash hit Transformers.
Megan Fox has graced the covers of numerous prestigious publications, including Maxim, Rolling Stone, FHM, GQ, and Cosmopolitan, in addition to her successful acting career. She has captivated audiences with her alluring appearance and magnetic presence.
Although Megan Fox’s participation in Mortal Kombat caused some controversy, it’s important to note that her prior work in the cult classic movie Jennifer’s Body makes her a suitable Nitara.
Even the game’s design by NetherRealm Studios included allusions to the classic film, such as Kung Lao’s question to Megan Fox’s Nitara during the versus intro, “What did you do with Jen’s body?”
Longtime Mortal Kombat fans are ecstatic about Nitara’s return to the series. She was first introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, a 3D game, and hasn’t been a playable character since Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
A soft reboot/prequel to the Mortal Kombat series is Mortal Kombat 1. On September 19, 2023, it will be made available to players on a variety of gaming platforms.
