With post-production well underway on the live-action reboot of
Mortal Kombat, today we learned that Warner Bros. Animation is working on an animated film titled,
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge. Furthermore, the movie is set for release in the first half of 2020.
Fans of the franchise will recall that this won't be the first attempt at an animated take on the world of
Mortal Kombat. In 1996, an animated series known as
Mortal Kombat: Defenders Of The Realm debuted to dismal reviews.

Batman: Assault On Arkham) from a script by Jeremy Adams (
Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans).
The voice cast includes:
-
Joel McHale as Johnny Cage

-
Patrick Seitz as Scorpion and Hanzo Hasashi
-
Steve Blum as Sub-Zero

-
David B. Mitchell as Raiden
-

The film will be produced by Rick Morales (
