In a captivating development, renowned actress and LGBTQ icon Megan Fox is stepping into the realm of legendary fighting video games as she takes on the roles of both voice actor and face model for the character Nitara in the upcoming release of Mortal Kombat I.
Nitara, who made her debut in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance back in 2002 and had a brief appearance in 2004’s Mortal Kombat: Deception, is making a striking comeback. Megan Fox, in a newly released video, introduces this enigmatic character. Fox describes Nitara as a vampire creature from a peculiar realm, embodying a complex duality of good and evil while striving to save her people. Fox expresses her admiration for Nitara, resonating with the character’s vampire persona.
Adding to the intrigue, Fox’s portrayal of Nitara not only lends her voice but also remarkably resembles the actress herself. As Fox enthuses in the video, it’s not merely a voice acting role; it’s as if Nitara embodies a part of her.
Mortal Kombat I is set to release on September 14 for Kollector and Premium editions, with the Standard Edition following on September 19, available on the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Notably, the game includes two LGBTQ characters, Mileena and Tanya, whose dynamic in the new game remains shrouded in mystery after the timeline reset from Mortal Kombat 11.
Moreover, for those who opt for the Kombat Pack, there’s an exciting opportunity to play as Peacemaker, the bisexual anti-hero from Suicide Squad, and his self-titled show. With Mortal Kombat’s history of offering diverse character skins, fans can’t help but wonder if they’ll get a chance to see Nitara sporting Megan Fox’s iconic long, dark hair or perhaps even an outfit from her iconic role in “Jennifer’s Body.” The anticipation is building as fans prepare to witness Megan Fox’s rendition in the game, perhaps even unleashing her own version of a “fatality.”
