Terminator in Mortal Kombat? It’s Been Discussed

Mortal Kombat could see some T-800 action with the series co-creator and creative director Ed Boon revealing "that conversation DID happen."

Presumably the Terminator's fatality would be Arnold Schwarzenegger's smile from Terminator Genisys although I think I'd prefer to see him in his Mister Freeze persona myself. 

In an interview earlier this year, Boon revealed that the original Mortal Kombat was pitched as a licensed Jean-Claude Van Damme game, telling GameSpot, "We hadn't had anybody come into the studio to record, so we were trying to convince Van Damme to let us do a licensed Van Damme game. We were kind of getting used to the new digitized technology, too, so that's what I remember, trying to setup a demo to try to convince Jean Claude Van Damme to let us do a game based on him."

It was confirmed earlier this month that the Terminator will be making an appearance in a licensed title, "competing" against Stone Cold in WWE 2K16. Arnie is available as a pre-order bonus for that game.
