After an advertisement featuring the actor and former wrestler Dave Bautista, Mortal Kombat 1 has now officially revealed the vampire of the Outworld Nitara will be played by the actress Megan Fox.
Although Fox's involvement seems to be the focus in the latest trailer, this does still count as another playable fighter reveal. Nitara made her playable debut in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. As highlighted in the new trailer, she's being voiced by Fox, with the character's likeness also seemingly based on Fox.
Mortal Kombat 1’s roster already has a few returning names from the series’ 3D era in the forms of Ashrah and Havik, and another long-lost favorite joins the fight. Nitara is making her long-awaited return, and it’s such a big homecoming that NetherRealm has enlisted actress Megan Fox to voice her.
Nitara is a vampire that made her debut in 2002’s Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. She’s only been playable in a couple of entries, had a small cameo in Mortal Kombat 11, and appeared in the 2021 Mortal Kombat film. Despite having only a few appearances to her name, she’s endured as favorite among fans who grew up with the 2000s era, and she looks as deadly as ever in MK 1.
Megan Fox brings Nitara to life, and you can get a sample of her performance in the trailer below. “I grew up playing Mortal Kombat and I can’t believe that I’m voicing a character in the new game," Fox says in a press release. "It’s an honor to be a part of one of the greatest video game legacies of all time.” Given that Ronda Rousey voiced Sonya Blade in MK 11, it’s not surprising to see NetherRealm rope in another celebrity to perform one of its kombatants.
The previous announcements for MK1 featured General Shao and Sindel as playable fighters plus Motaro and Shujinko as Kameos though it seems they still aren't done with the reveals yet.
Mortal Kombat 1 is slated for a September 19 release date on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC, but players can start going in on the game beginning September 14 for those who pre-order the Premium or Kollector's Editions of the game
