Nitara Confirmed For Mortal Kombat 1 And She’s Voiced By Megan Fox

The vampiress from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is backed by Hollywood star power.

14 Comments

After raw footage of the game leaked on social media--including the remaining members of the roster--NetherRealm Studios has elected to get ahead of it and confirm Nitara for Mortal Kombat 1's playable roster. However, there's one extra twist: Megan Fox will be portraying the Outworld vampiress.

NetherRealm released a new trailer for the game both revealing the Jennifer's Body star as Nitara, as well as the first in-game footage of the character in action. She looks to lean heavily into her vampiric repertoire, as she uses her fangs, claws, and wings to give herself an edge in battle.

Now Playing: Mortal Kombat 1 - Official Nitara Gameplay Reveal Trailer (Played by Megan Fox)

Megan Fox is the latest Hollywood name to join the Mortal Kombat ranks, with Ronda Rousey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Peter Weller all featuring in Mortal Kombat 11. She will also join Jean-Claude Van-Damme, Antony Starr, and J.K. Simmons in MK1, as the trio have been confirmed as downloadable content included in the first Kombat Pack.

The new trailer comes on the heels of a massive leak on Reddit earlier this week, where off-camera footage of the Nintendo Switch version of the game was posted along with screenshots of the full playable roster screen. There is one more character from that roster who has yet to be officially revealed, though they have appeared in a few places since the game was revealed back in May.

Mortal Kombat 1 will launch September 19 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Those who preorder the deluxe editions will get five days early access to the game beginning September 14.

There is nothing worse than dumb developers spending millions on poopular actors to VA certain characters in a game. Its so incredibly stupid. There is plenty of voice actors that won't be just good, but do better, much much better, and for way cheaper. The industry is dumb.

Waste of money. But I'm happy to see some of my favorite characters from the 3D era come back.

Megan Fox talking about vidya games was incredibly inspiring.

So much hate for Megan here. C’mon now, just refresh your memory by listening to Ronda in MK11. Nothing can ever be as bad as that. At least, Fox serves camp and sass here, which is perfectly in line with the MK style.

What "Star power"? She flushed her career down the toilet when she called Micheal Bay Hitler in public while filming Transformers. Hence she was axed after the 2nd movie and all her contracts got canceled except for shit B-Tier direct-to-DVD movies. All I ever hear news-wise about her is her dating machine gun Kelly and his insanity.

@ezio899: ya. Doesn’t make the best life decisions. I seem to remember her dating that aspiring rapper from Beverly Hills 90210 and she tattooed his name on herself.

Hiring actors instead of voice actors almost always fails.

Talk about a waste of a budget. Brainless developers hiring what's popular instead of much cheaper, but talented.

@hardwenzen: Fox is still popular? Anyway, she's in the correct spectrum of politics to be hired in modern mortal kombat game.

I don't think that she is that popular anymore, but everyone recognizes her name,

You forgot John Cena. Or did you not see him?

@pillarrocks: Yeah, I agree. Deadly Alliance trilogy is underrated in most people's MK rankings.

Now bring back Chess Kombat :)
