The Cage Match is about to begin. The latest Mortal Kombat Legends film has its launch date, and it’s coming up in October.
That’s a low blow
Officially the fourth movie in the Mortal Kombat Legends series, Cage Match tells the tale of Johnny Cage’s origin. A feature length movie, it’s set to keep the same animation style as the likes of Snow Blind and Battle of the Realms, and the vocal talents of actor Joel McHale in the title role.
Although there’ll be a bunch of faces MK fans will know well like Shinnok and Raiden, there’ll also be a cast-full of new arrivals. And voicing those characters will be a deep cast, with actors like Gilbert Gottfried, Phil LaMarr, and Jennifer Grey playing… herself. That’s gonna be interesting.
Neon lights… Suits with shoulder pads… Jumping from explosions in slow motion… In 1980s Hollywood, action star Johnny Cage (Joel McHale) is looking to become an A-list actor. But when his costar, Jennifer (Jennifer Grey), 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. 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 Kombatlegends, save humanity…and, more importantly, his career?
