According to the latest trailer, Megan Fox will be the voice behind the MK1 Nitara character, which will be making its return to the lineup after several years.
Following the announcement of Mortal Kombat 1, rumors began circulating online regarding potential celebrity castings in the game. One such rumor suggested that actress Megan Fox would have a role in MK1 in some capacity.
Speculation ranged from the possibility of NetherRealm and WB Games, including Megan Fox’s Jennifer’s Body character as downloadable content (DLC), to skepticism about the rumor’s credibility. Travis Scott’s name had also surfaced in connection with the game, adding to the intrigue surrounding potential celebrity involvement.
Megan Fox will voice the MK1 Nitara character
NetherRealm Studios has officially revealed Nitara as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 1, with Megan Fox providing the character’s voice for the game.
This marks Nitara’s return to the roster after 17 years, with her last playable appearance in Mortal Kombat Armageddon. Her character design in MK1 has been updated, notably missing her eye patch and featuring red hair. However, she retains her iconic wings, and her armor now has a more ornate and demonic aesthetic.
Nitara made her debut in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance as a vampire from Outworld. She’s a relatively obscure character in the series, with only a few appearances in games and other media. Her return in Mortal Kombat 1 marks her comeback to the series after 17 years, with a redesigned look that retains her iconic wings but features more demonic-looking armor.
In the trailer, you can see Nitara’s fighting style, which primarily involves aerial combat and showcases a blood seal mechanic. Some snippets of the game’s story are also shown, hinting at her anti-hero nature and apparent alignment with the game’s villains.
Megan Fox’s involvement in Mortal Kombat is notable, as she has expressed her love for the franchise in the past. She once mentioned that playing Princess Kitana in the series was one of her dream video game roles. In the trailer, Fox calls Mortal Kombat “one of the greatest video games of all time,” indicating her excitement at being a playable character rather than just making a guest appearance or cameo.
Megan Fox voice acting
The MK1 Nitara character is not Megan Fox’s first-ever voice acting experience. The famous actress previously voiced Mikaela Banes in the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: The Game and Transformers: The Game video games. Fox played the character herself in both movies and voiced the same character in video games, too. Transformers was one of the best movies she did in her career, as her fame almost doubled after it went live. Now, Megan Fox will be voicing the MK1 Nitara character, and it will surely be interesting to hear her voice in a fighting game. Fox might be involved in a similar project in the future.
