The Mortal Kombat universe is certainly one that is expansive and filled with many characters, perhaps none more recognizable than Scorpion himself. After all, he is the face of the franchise. That said, it would make sense that he would be the focus of a brand new animated film that was just announced.

NetherRealm Studios’ Ed Boon recently took to Twitter to announce Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, and upcoming animated film that should be arriving in the first half of the year. The movie is being made at Warner Bros. Animation with Ethan Spaulding directing.

We’ve been sitting on this news for quite a while & are thrilled to announce the upcoming Mortal Kombat Animated feature!
