• COLE YOUNG MORTAL KOMBAT 11 MOVIE

Scorpion then departs before Raiden and the others arrive at the scene. After Cole and Scorpion defeat Sub-Zero, Scorpion thanks Cole for releasing him and asks him to care for their family's bloodline. When Sub-Zero sought Cole Young, seeking to end the bloodline of his rival once and for all, Cole Young drew the blade, summoning his ancestor to Earthrealm to fight by his side in his new form as Scorpion. Raiden explained that Hanzo's spirit would fight with him if he used the weapon in the battle to come. Before sending the surviving champions to face Shang Tsung's followers, Raiden gave Cole the blade of Hanzo Hasashi, which had been used against him to take his life. This is shown through the story of Liu Kang and how, like Cole Young, he was an orphan, though he was adopted into the Order of Light and, upon graduation, sent after a child trafficker who had acquired a dragon-mark.Ĭole's connection to Hanzo Hasashi proved to be the deciding factor in the battle to stop Outworld from gaming the system and killing Earth's champions before the Mortal Kombat tournament could begin in earnest. Indeed, Kung Lao's history is well-known among long-time players and viewers of the Mortal Kombat franchise. That said, it is also suggested that the followers of Raiden seek out those who are proven warriors with noble hearts and bring them into the fold once they have proven themselves. Apart from Cole Young, the Chosen Ones of this generation include the monk Kung Lao, who proudly notes that he is the " descendant of the Great Kung Lao" in addition to being the Grand Champion of the Order of Light. It is suggested that the champions of Earthrealm are largely chosen from the bloodlines of great and legendary warriors. This raises an interesting point that the film does not go into regarding just how the Elder Gods go about selecting the Chosen Ones and why the dragon-marks can transfer to unworthy agents who kill a Chosen One. It is Sonya who explains the history and purpose of the Mortal Kombat tournaments and sets Cole Young on the path towards his destiny.

After Sub-Zero's first attempt to kill Cole and his family, he is rescued by Jax, who has the same dragon mark and tells him to seek out Sonya Blade.

The 2021 Mortal Kombat addresses this with the idea of Chosen Ones and the distinctive dragon-mark birthmarks which indicate that they are destined to represent Earthrealm in the next Mortal Kombat tournament.Ĭole Young is completely ignorant of this as the movie opens, thinking that the mark of the Chosen Ones is an odd birthmark that just happens to resemble a dragon. Invitations are presumably sent to the leaders of various orders and clans with instructions on where to send their best warriors, but the rules of the first tournament also allow the entry of warriors like Sonya Blade, who stumbled across the tournament by accident while chasing after her nemesis Kano. One question the game's mythology never answered was just how champions are chosen to compete in the Mortal Kombat tournament. It remains to be seen if Mortal Kombat's Cole Young character will be introduced into the reality of the video games, but it can be stated that he proves his worthiness to stand among Earth's greatest champions over the course of Mortal Kombat. However, the movie does reveal that Cole Young has a connection to one of the most popular fighters in the Mortal Kombat universe, paying off a scene that was teased in the film's trailer.

It was also suggested that Cole Young might be the true identity of either Sub-Zero or Scorpion.

One of the more popular theories was that Cole Young would prove to be the real name of action movie superstar Johnny Cage in the reality of the film. A number of interesting theories were suggested by fans who couldn't believe that the filmmakers would center the story of a Mortal Kombat movie around an untested new character.
