For a couple of years now, NetherRealm Studios & Warner Bros. Animation have continued to collaborate as collective properties forge a new string of animated films. This trend started with Mortal Kombat Legends. The new anthology of films star the cast of fighters across a range of films – Scorpion’s Revenge, Battle for the Realms, and Snow Blind most recently.

Additionally, the two parties continued this trend beyond Mortal Kombat. In 2021, fans also welcomed Injustice: Gods Among Us which re-told the plot of the first titular game which also stood as an adaptation of the ‘Multiverse’ comic line from DC Comics. Now recently, a new trailer has surfaced for the next Mortal Kombat Legends film.

In that, Warner Bros. Animation uploaded the first trailer for Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match and is expected to release the film later this October. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

“In 1980s Hollywood, action star Johnny Cage is looking to become an A-list actor. But when his costar, Jennifer, goes missing from set, Johnny finds himself thrust into a world filled with shadows, danger and deceit. As he embarks on a bloody journey, Johnny quickly discovers the City of Angels has more than a few devils in its midst,” the YouTube description reads.

“He faces off against a sinister secret society plotting a nefarious scheme, but the brutal fight against the bloodthirsty warriors of the Netherrealm is just beginning. Can Johnny, alongside other Mortal Kombat legends, save humanity…and, more importantly, his career?” But, that is not the only recent Mortal Kombat movie news.

Elsewhere this summer, Warner Bros. & New Line Cinema officially commenced filming for Mortal Kombat II. The live-action sequel revealed its filming from Liu Kang actor Ludi Lin on Instagram. You can read the full report by heading here.
