The wait is almost over, or so it seems, with three months to go before we finally get to see what director Kevin Tancharoen has in store for Kombat fans with Mortal Kombat Legacy: Season 2. Actor Mark Dacascos posted a link from co-star Brian Tee‘s WhoSay account on Facebook today from a private Los Angeles screening of all the episodes with the cast, saying the following:
Aloha! We had a cast and crew screening of Mortal Kombat Legacy, Season 2, last night. I can’t wait for you to see it.
They told us it would premiere on Machinima in September, 2013. Aloha, MD
Fans were given a brand new trailer back in February, in addition to a first-ever television spot in promotion of a webseries on AMC, followed by an extra sneak peak featured at an MIPCube event in Cannes back in April with Tancharoen and Warner Bros. executive Lance Sloane in attendance. Following the webseries will come the development of the film, which has since been confirmed. The film is co-scripted by MK: Rebirth and Men In Black 4 scribe Oren Uziel and will go into pre-production this August just after comic-con, currently with season 2 actor Casper Van Dien officially attached to play Johnny Cage, along with Michael Jai White, reprising his role as Jax from Mortal Kombat Legacy: Season One. No word yet on who is playing the other characters, although characters like Sonya Blade, Kabal and Goro have been mentioned in previous reports within the past year.
MK Legacy: Season 2 will star Van Dien as Cage, Tee as Liu Kang and Dacascos as Kung Lao, along with with returning actor Ian Anthony Dale as Scorpion and actress Samantha Jo as Kitana. Other listed kombatants include Dave McInnis as Raiden, Eric Steinberg as Sub-Zero, Daniel Southworth as Kenshi, Eric Jacobus as Stryker, Michelle Lee as Mileena, Harry Shum as Tundra and Kim Do as Ermac, along with Cary Tagawa in a celebratory revival of his character, Shang Tsung from the 1995 film, Mortal Kombat.

AMC Presents The Newer (Shorter) TV Spot For MORTAL KOMBAT LEGACY Season 2
Long before work officially kicks off for the feature film, writer and director Kevin Tancharoen cranks up the loyal fanbase once again with the new trailer for season 2 of Mortal Kombat Legacy via AMC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Unlike season one, which debuted in 2012, season 2 will place more focus on the impending tournament that will see Earth’s heroes take on Shang Tsung and the minions of Outworld.
Prepare Yourself For A New Season Of MORTAL KOMBAT: LEGACY
Since the leak of the shortfilm, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth in 2010, Tancharoen has gained distinct notoriety for his creative and unique vision for the film franchise founded on Midway’s initial arcade game release in 1992, Mortal Kombat, created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. With a long series of follow-up games, the feature release of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, a comic book debut, a cartoon and the broadcast of the television series, Mortal Kombat: Conquest among other things, the fighting game most known for its brutal special moves and x-ray combos, bloody, bloody fatalities, hidden codes, wacky friendships and babalities, and sequences that tested your might for close to twenty years, has earned immense popularity among gamers and film fans alike, with even long-waited expectations for a third film that never happened to due a series of slow downs that includes the tragedy and devastation left behind by Hurricane Katrina, and a now-dismissed lawsuit between Warner Brothers and Threshold Entertainment.
