MORTAL KOMBAT Movie Funko POPs Seemingly Confirm A Major Fan-Theory - SPOILERS

Funko has unveiled the first wave of POP figures based on characters from the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot, and it consists of Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade, Cole Young, Scorpion, and... Cole Young as Scorpion?

Fans began to speculate that Lewis Tan's mysterious character (who was not in any of the video games) might be revealed as a descendant of the spectral ninja after the recent trailer, and it looks like we may now have confirmation.

Funko POPs don't offer particularly detailed depictions of the characters they're based on, of course, but even still, that certainly looks like the Cole Young figure's face beneath Scorpion's hood.

So, will we see Mr. Young don the fiery costume of his undead ancestor to compete in the tournament? We'll have to wait and see, but he did seem pretty handy with those twin blades in the teasers!

In “Mortal Kombat,” MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld's Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family's safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark.

Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?

Mortal Kombat is set for a simultaneous release in theaters and on HBO Max this April 12.
