Last week,
the cast of Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge was announced. Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge is an upcoming animated movie in the works at Warner Bros. Animation that's based on the iconic video game franchise of the same name — not to be confused with the live-action
Mortal Kombat movie that's also currently in the works.
Jeremy Adams (
Teen Titans Go! vs. Teen Titans) wrote the script, Ethan Spaulding (
Batman: Assault on Arkham) directs. Rick Morales (
Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders) and Jim Krieg (
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight) produce. Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon serves as a creative consultant.
Speaking of Boon, the game director took to social media to tease that the animated movie will be quite brutal —
as you can see here. Even more recently, Boon took to Twitter to back up that claim with the announcement that
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge will be rated R.
As you can see below; Boon compared the animated movie to a pair of other R rated movies as well as featured the "Restricted" symbol alongside the movie's logo. Now we know to expect
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge to be just as bloody and brutally violent as the games it's based on.
