With Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge set to make its digital debut on Tuesday, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released three action-packed new clips from the upcoming animated adaptation, offering just a slight preview at the epic brutality to come as the best of the best from Outworld and Earthrealm duke it out in Mortal Kombat.
Each clip spotlights a different fighter, with the first previewing an honorable fight between Liu Kang (Jordan Rodrigues) and Kitana (Grey Griffin), the second introducing Sonya Blade (Jennifer Carpenter) and Jax (Ike Amadi) and the last giving us a killer look at the titular Scorpion (Patrick Seitz) unleashing his wrath upon a Lin Kuei clansman as he seeks out his revenge on the one they call Sub-Zero (Steve Blum).
After its digital launch next week, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge will arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD two weeks later, on April 28.
Ethan Spaulding (Avatar: The Last Airbender; Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare; Son of Batman) is directing the upcoming animated adventure, which is an original story based on the hit video game series of the same name created by Ed Boon and John Tobias.
The plot should sound somewhat familiar as it will spotlight a once-in-a-generation tournament between the greatest champions of Outworld and Earthrealm - an epic competition that will ultimately determine the fate of Earth and all of its residents. Lord Raiden (David B. Mitchell) will assemble an all-star group of fighters, including Liu Kang (Jordan Rodrigues), Johnny Cage (Joel McHale), Sonya Blade (Jennifer Carpenter), to take on the evil Shang Tsung (Artt Butler) in the battle to end all battles - Mortal Kombat!
Along with the film, the home video combo pack will also contain several very cool special features, headlined by an extensive featurette that will detail adapting the hit video game into a movie and an exclusive filmmaker commentary from producer Rick Morales and screenwriter Jeremy Adams. There are also featurettes spotlighting the animation, sound design and characters for fans to enjoy as well.
