With all of these talks of multiverses and shared universes, whatever happened to other dimensions? Nobody ever talks about the Dreamrealm, the Chaosrealm, or Outworld anymore, ya know? Oh…you don’t? Well, I’m talking, of course, about Mortal Kombat! I’m sure you are all eagerly awaiting that new live-action foray back into the titular deadly fighting tournament, but before that comes out, we’re getting an animated feature with quite the cast.
The animated feature is to be called Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge. The Community leading man McHale is set to voice egotistical movie star Johnny Cage in some perfect casting. Cage’s love interest and immaculate kicker Sonya Blade is going to be voiced by Dexter veteran actress Jennifer Carpenter, who some may remember more from that [REC] remake Quarantine. While there’s no set date for release, Warner Brothers assures everyone it’ll be out in the first half of this year.
Well, who the heck else is gonna be here? Mortal Kombat is known for it’s eccentric and diverse cast of characters, and it seems like Scorpion’s Revenge won’t let anybody down in that regard. We’re gonna be seeing Sub-Zero, Goro, Kitana, somebody named Demon Torturer, and, of course, Scorpion, who’s “Get Over Here!” (TM) catchphrase will be shouted out by original yellow ninja voice actor Patrick Seitz. At least the filmmaker’s aren’t making the classic blunder of recasting perfection. Good on ’em!
Many offshoots of this series, from video game sidestories to previous attempts at reboots and sequels, have crashed and burned before. Fans are probably pretty tired of getting their hopes up for more filmic projects related to the fighting game series. This one seems like a nice safe bet, as Warner Brothers has a pretty good track record about making some alright direct-to-video animated features. Hopefully this foray back into the Mortal Kombat dimension will be just as fun as the original film.
