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?

During Credits? Yes

during the credits
After the Aether is back in the hands of Asgard, Sif and Volstagg bring the item to the intergalactic museum of none other than The Collector (Benicio del Toro). When The Collector asks them why they brought it to him and didn’t keep it in Asgard, they explain that the Tesseract is already on Asgard and they should not have two Infinity Stones so close together. After Sif and Volstagg leave The Collector utters the phrase “One down, five to go” (referring to the Infinity Gauntlet).

 

After Credits? Yes
