MORTAL KOMBAT LEGENDS: BATTLE OF THE REALMS Animated Sequel Set For Release This Summer

For many, the Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge animated film was a better adaptation of the video game than the recent live-action reboot, & a sequel, Battle of the Realms, is now in the works!

Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge wasn't perfect by any means, but fans of the long-running video game franchise embraced it as an exciting, Fatality-filled adaptation of the core story, and many view it as a more faithful take than the recent live-action reboot (you can check out our review here).

Those fans will be very pleased to hear that a sequel is now in the works and set for release later this summer!

THR reports that Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms is officially in development, and will bring back much of the same team from Scorpion's Revenge, including the voice talents of Jordan Rodrigues as Liu Kang, Patrick Seitz as Scorpion & Hanzo Hasashi, Artt Butler as Shang Tsung & Cyrax, Robin Atkin Downes as Shinnok & Reiko, Dave B. Mitchell as Raiden, Kintaro & Sektor; Ikè Amadi as Jax Briggs & One Being; Grey Griffin as Kitana, Satoshi Hasashi & Mileena; and Fred Tatasciore as Shao Kahn.

Joel McHale and Jennifer Carpenter will also be back to lead the Earth-Realm charge as Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade.

No story details were provided, but several new characters are set to join the fray, with Matthew Mercer as Stryker & Smoke; Bayardo De Murguia as Sub-Zero/Kuai Liang; Matt Yang King as Kung Lao; Paul Nakauchi as Lin Kuei Grandmaster; Emily O’Brien as Jade; and Debra Wilson as D’Vorah.

Scorpion's Revenge director Ethan Spaulding, screenwriter Jeremy Adams, and producers Rick Morales and Jim Krieg are heading-up the sequel. No release date has been announced, but Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is expected to debut the R-rated animated feature before summer's end.

yes I approve of this. the animated movie reminds me of the earlier animated DC movies, not perfect but much better than the movies we get with live people.

Nice!!!! The recent animated movie had a weird animation style but the story was awesome unlike the new movie which was nothing but a shifty story.

Although the second act could've been padded a little more with additional fights, Scorpion's Revenge was the perfect Mortal Kombat movie. Really look forward to what they have planned for the sequel

It's definitely up there in the argument of best MK movie, but not by much. I feel that taking some of it's strong elements, and mixing them with the strong elements of the MK21 movie would result in a much better product. Looking forward to this sequel, but I hope they improve on the animation a bit.

Who the hell is "One Being"? I've been a fan of MK since the original was only in arcades and I've NEVER heard of anyone with that name.

If they make a sequel to the new movie make it an HBO MAX exclusive or turn it into a series. The box office numbers aren't there for a sequel to go to theaters

The more mortal kombat the better. I certainly wasn’t the one who thought the animated was better than live action. Animated one was like 90s version but with more scorpion
