What do you get when you cross a hopeful world of superheroes with a brutal, bloody martial arts franchise focusing on warriors mutilating each other for the fate of all existence? Well, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Injustice 2, and Mortal Kombat 11 all sought to answer that question. What you really should be asking is what happens when the crew behind the DC Animated Original Movies decides to bring Mortal Kombat to life in all of its gory glory?

From director Ethan Spaulding (Batman: Assault on Arkham), screenwriter Jeremy Adams (Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans), and producers Rick Morales (Batman vs. Two-Face) and Jim Krieg (Batman: Gotham By Gaslight), WB Animation is adapting Scorpion's quest for revenge from the original 1992 arcade game with Mortal Kombat: Legends - Scorpion's Revenge.

The voice cast includes several returning actors from the franchise, including Patrick Seitz reprising his role as Scorpion from Mortal Kombat X, Steve Blum as Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat 11, Kevin Michael Richardson as Goro from Mortal Kombat (1995), and Grey Griffin as Kitana from Mortal Kombat X. Other notable cast members include Joel McHale (Community) as Johnny Cage and Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter) as Sonya Blade.





The beloved Mortal Kombat video game franchise is getting the animated treatment with Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, and IGN is exclusively debuting the first trailer for the Mortal Kombat animated movie. The synopsis for Scorpion’s Revenge reads: “Based on the worldwide hit game created by Ed Boon & John Tobias, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge spotlights the once-in-a-generation tournament between the champions of Outworld and Earthrealm - a competition that will ultimately determine the fate of Earth and all its citizens. Lord Raiden, protector of Earthrealm, must gather the greatest fighters of his realm to defend it from the evil Shang Tsung in the battle to end all battles - Mortal Kombat!”

As showcased in the Mortal Kombat animated movie trailer, Scorpion’s Revenge stars Joel McHale as Johnny Cage, Jennifer Carpenter as Sonya Blade, Jordan Rodrigues as Scorpion & Hanzo Hasashi, Steve Blum as Sub-Zero, Artt Butler as Shang Tsung, Darin De Paul as Quan Chi, Robin Atkin Downes as Kano, David B. Mitchell as Raiden, Ike Amadi as Jax Briggs, Kevin Michael Richardson as Goro, Grey Griffin as Kitana & Satoshi Hasashi, and Fred Tatasciore as Demon Torturer. Batman: Assault of Arkham’s Ethan Spaulding is directing Scorpion’s Revenge and Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans’ Jeremy Adams wrote the script. The release date for Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge is Spring 2020.

Yeah this looks pretty solid for a direct to video movie. If the kills are creative and the gore factor is present this could turn out to be a surprise hit, who knows.

It got an R rating from MPA today. Hope the live action movie follows suit.

I think I would have preferred original interpretations of their outfits rather than reusing the MKX ones, but this looks pretty good. An MK1 adaptation with Scorpion's back story thrown in, the animation looks fluid which was my biggest worry.

It really wouldn't be an MK product without Scorpion on the cover. XD

It's like this is what the old "Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm" cartoon dreamed of being.

I think this is the same animation team for batman vs tmnt. MK lore is so cool. Hopefully DC starts publishing another comic series as well. lots of potential. An Injustice movie would be great too. Then MK vs. DC! :D

Cant wait. MK is such a rich story for a fighting game. I hope this is a success and spawns more animated movies in the future. Also hope that the live action movie does well. MK still is the only good video game movie.

Now I'm bracing for them to mistreat Scorpion in the upcoming movie and this is just them tossing a bone.
