Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released a series of new images from the previously announced Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, the newest installment of the Mortal Kombat animated movie line, due out on 4K UHD, Blu-Ray and Digital on August 31, 2021. The film picks up after the release of the brutal Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, the 2020 blockbuster hit that initiated these animated films – which are based on one of the most popular videogame franchises in history.

This new set of images shows off a mixtures of allies and foes that are set up to compete in this epic smackdown.

Jax (and his newly added robotic arms) makes for a worthy opponent to the massive Kintaro in one key match-up within Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms. Ikè Amadi (Mass Effect 3, Mortal Kombat 11) and Dave B. Mitchell (Mortal Kombat 11, Call of Duty franchise) provide the voices of Jax and Kintaro, respectively.

Liu Kang faces several formidable foes in Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, and Jade and her multifunctional staff rank among the most dangerous. Jordan Rodrigues (Lady Bird, The Fosters) is the voice of Liu Kang, and Emily O’Brien (Days of Our Lives, Constantine: City of Demons) gives voice to Jade.

Smoke does not go lightly in his training/sparring with the new Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms. Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Justice Society: World War II) and Bayardo De Murguia (Tiny Pretty Things) provide the voices of Smoke and Sub-Zero, respectively.

Synopsis: In Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, our team of heroes are besieged by the enemy forces of Shao Kahn – forcing Raiden and his group of warriors into a deal to compete in a final Mortal Kombat that will determine the fate of the realms. Now our heroes must travel to Outworld in order to defend Earthrealm and, simultaneously, Scorpion must find the ancient Kamidogu before it’s used to resurrect the One Being – which would mean certain destruction of all things in the universe. Time is short and the stakes are high in this action-packed continuation of the Mortal Kombat journey.

Joel McHale (Community, Stargirl) and Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight) return to their lead roles as Hollywood star-turned-fighter Johnny Cage and all-business warrior Sonya Blade, respectively. Also returning for the sequel are Jordan Rodrigues (Lady Bird, The Fosters) as Liu Kang; Patrick Seitz (Mortal Kombat X, Aggretsuko, Naruto: Shippuden) as Scorpion & Hanzo Hasashi; Artt Butler (Her, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) as Shang Tsung & Cyrax; Robin Atkin Downes (The Strain, Batman: The Killing Joke) as Shinnok & Reiko; Dave B. Mitchell (Mortal Kombat 11, Call of Duty franchise) as Raiden, Kintaro & Sektor; Ikè Amadi (Mass Effect 3, Mortal Kombat 11) as Jax Briggs & One Being; Grey Griffin (The Loud House, Young Justice, Scooby-Doo franchise) as Kitana, Satoshi Hasashi & Mileena; and Fred Tatasciore (Robot Chicken, Family Guy) as Shao Kahn.

New to the Mortal Kombat Legends voice cast are Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Justice Society: World War II) as Stryker & Smoke; Bayardo De Murguia (Tiny Pretty Things) as Sub-Zero/Kuai Liang; Matt Yang King (Mortal Kombat 11 video game, Justice League vs. The Fatal Five) as Kung Lao; Paul Nakauchi (Carmen Sandiego, Overwatch) as Lin Kuei Grandmaster; Emily O’Brien (Days of Our Lives, Constantine: City of Demons) as Jade; Debra Wilson (World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, MADtv) as D’Vorah.

Rick Morales (Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, Batman vs. Two-Face) is Producer. Jim Krieg (Batman: Gotham by Gaslight) is Producer. Executive Producer is Sam Register.
