A new look at CJ Bloomfield as Baraka from Mortal Kombat II has been revealed by Fandango. See it below.
The image appears to be a scene from the Mortal Kombat II film, where Johnny is confronted by Baraka. In the trailer, Baraka says, “I find you annoying,” before attacking Johnny, who responds, “Not the face!” and dodges his attacks using his stunt skills.
Baraka was first introduced in Mortal Kombat II (1993), the second game in the Mortal Kombat franchise. He is a Tarkatan warrior with a monstrous appearance, featuring razor-sharp retractable blades extending from his forearms and sharp teeth. Baraka is also very loyal to Shao Kahn.
