JESS

Female. 30-35. Cole's judgmental sister-in-law, who believes Cole to be a selfish, bad father. She lives with Sophia and Emily.

Based on the character breakdowns it looks like Warner Brothers and New Line are making a few significant changes to the reboot. While the original Mortal Kombat live-action movie focused on tournament games, it looks like the story of the reboot is going to focus on a new character named Cole Turner, a widowed boxer who's struggling to take care of his young daughter. The film also includes Coles mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and daughter, characters that may provide some familial conflict for the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot.

The Mortal Kombat reboot doesn't have a release date just yet, but we'll update everyone as soon as we get word.
