~ Scorpion to Sub-Zero, his most iconic quote.

Hanzo Hasashi, also known as Scorpion, is the overarching protagonist of New Line Cinema's 2021 Mortal Kombat film. He is based on his original game counterpart.

He is portrayed by Hiroyuki Sanada.

Overview[]

Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion is a ninja from the Japanese Shirai-Ryu clan of assassins who was killed by Sub-Zero (then known as Bi-Han) in the 1600s. He is also revered as one of the best fighters of its time whose descendant will one day unite the Earthrealm warriors.

Biography[]

In 1600s Japan, Hanzo Hasashi lived with his wife Harumi, his son Satoshi, and the couple's infant daughter, along with the Shirai Ryu clan. He is shown to have a dragon mark on his forearm that allows him participate in Mortal Kombat.

One day, his village was attacked by Bi-Han and members of the Lin Kuei clan. The assassins eliminated the Shirai Ryu while Bi-Han killed Harumi and Satoshi. He made a makeshift rope spear and eliminated the Lin Kuei assassins. When he faces Bi-Han, he was overpowered by Bi-Han's cryomancy. Bi-Han then mortally wounded Hanzo with his own spear. Hanzo eventually succumbed to his wounds and disappeared into flames.

In present day, a prophecy was foretold that the blood of Hanzo Hasashi will unite the fighters of Earthrealm to victory against Outworld in their tenth tournament of Mortal Kombat after having lost the previous nine. Washed up MMA fighter Cole Young sometimes had flashes of Hanzo as a fiery spectre.

When Cole learned of the purpose of his own dragon mark and began to prepare for the tournament and head to Raiden's Temple for training, Lord Raiden revealed that he was a descendant of Hanzo from his infant daughter. Later, Raiden gave Cole Hanzo's blood-stained blade, telling him to use it and the spirit of Hanzo would fight with him.

After Kabal and Mileena's deaths, Bi-Han, now calling himself Sub-Zero, lured Cole into the frozen arena. Cole fought Sub-Zero, but was overpowered. Cole used Hanzo's blade to fight back, cutting himself in the process. Hanzo's spirit appeared and saved Cole. Now as Scorpion, Hanzo teamed up with Cole to fight against Sub-Zero. During the battle, Scorpion use his ability to save Cole's family.

Eventually, the two critically wounded Sub-Zero and Scorpion used his hellfire to kill him. Scorpion thanked Cole for freeing him and asked him to watch over the Hasashi bloodline before teleporting away.

Behind the scenes[]

Scorpion's actor, Hiroyuki Sanada, had no knowledge of the Mortal Kombat franchise prior to being cast for the film. He researched the property online, but also tried a "hands-on approach" by finding the classic game at a game center, in which he was "beaten every time, just losing and losing." Despite his worries about the role, he discovered that fans had Photoshopped his face on the body of Scorpion even before he was offered the part. The character's look was based on traditional Samurai armor, with certain twists, such as a sharp chain from his kunai on the shoulder plates
