Who Is Noob Saibot?

Noob Saibot is the resurrected form of Bi-Han, the original Sub-Zero, who was killed by Scorpion in the events of the first film. In the Mortal Kombat game series, Bi-Han is brought back to life by dark forces and transformed into Noob Saibot, a wraith-like assassin with control over shadow powers. As one of the most iconic villains in the franchise, his presence raises the stakes—and body count—in Mortal Kombat II.

Warner Bros. also released image stills from the trailer. See below.
