bridgette wilson was cast as sonya in the first "mortal kombat" movie after the filmmakers' original choice, cameron diaz, injured her wrist during martial arts training and dropped out. during production, wilson was given the nickname "robobabe" by director paul anderson, and performed her own stuntwork. the character's stern personality and storyline in the film were faithful to the games, as was the depiction of her vendetta against kano for murdering her (unnamed) partner. kano baits her into boarding shang tsung's ship, where she encounters cage and liu kang for the first time and engages in a standoff with sub-zero. shang tsung had conspired with kano beforehand in arranging for him to fight sonya at the tournament in anticipation of her defeat, which fails as sonya defeats and kills kano. she is later abducted by shang tsung and taken to the emperor's castle in outworld where she is challenged by shang tsung to final combat, which she staunchly refuses to do just before the arrival of liu kang, cage and kitana. according to the film's official magazine "mortal kombat: the ultimate battle for humanity", shang tsung intended for sonya to become his queen after successfully conquering earthrealm. sonya was also one of the main protagonists, alongside cage and liu in the 1995 animated film "", a prequel to the movie wherein she was voiced by jennifer hale.

game rant included her on their 2011 list of ten "most awesome" "mortal kombat" characters, stating that "while not nearly as unique as some of the other kombatants on the list, sonya blade is integral to some of the more interesting story-threads in the mortal kombat universe", citing her pursuit of kano. in 2012, "the hot, butch" sonya was given eighth place on ugo's list of top "mortal kombat" characters. that same year, she was at seventh place on cheat code central's list of top "mortal kombat" "kombatants", along with a comment that "the badass army chick was all the rage back in the 1990s, but now she's part of a dwindling number of female characters that really kick ass." her "double split" in the 2011 game was included by "fhm" on their list of nine most brutal fatalities in the game. sonya placed 18th in a 2013 dorkly poll for top "mortal kombat" characters, noted as one "of the more grounded and strong-willed characters in "mk" history." in 2014, gamesradar called her ""mortal kombat"'s leading lady". similarly, including her as the only female in his 2015 list of ten most iconic "mortal kombat" characters, gamerant's jason gallagher opined that sonya, "with all due respect to kitana, jade, and mileena, is still the most recognizable female character in franchise history today. she's played a large role in various ongoing storylines, and is one-half of the reason cassie cage exists today. the special forces crew has expanded greatly over the last two decades, but it was sonya that started it all."
