First ‘Mortal Kombat: Legacy’ Web Series Clip & Other Details

Following the recent report that the ‘Mortal Kombat: Legacy’ web series will debut on April 12th – we’ve got a first look clip from the series – featuring a heated battle between Jax and Kano.



As predicted, with the release of the new Mortal Kombat video game less than two weeks away, news surrounding the highly-anticipated Mortal Kombat web series (now titled Mortal Kombat: Legacy) has started dropping in quick succession.

Yesterday, we reported that the web series would debut on April 12th, one week prior to the new game, and today we’re getting our first look at director Kevin Tancharoen’s Mortal Kombat: Legacy in action – in the form of a minute long clip.

Despite plenty of set photos, there’s still been a lot of speculation regarding the balance Tancharoen would ultimately present in the web series – between the gritty real-world tone of his Mortal Kombat: Rebirth shortfilm and the fantasy-based video game plotline.

The clip may not put the fantasy versus reality balance debate to rest, or feature the fan-favorite characters some might have hoped for, but the debut is certainly encouraging – with plenty of solid physical action between the characters (not to mention Kano’s intriguing lack of a metal face-plate/glowing red eye). Could the explosion we see at the end of the clip cause injury to both characters – requiring Jax to don bionic armor-plating on his arms and Kano to augment his own face with an iconic metal graft?

Exacto! :ccold:

....Si, ya habíamos conversado brevemente este tema Scorpion y yo. Parece que esta serie toma a los personajes... demasiado... "reales"... lo hubieran hecho con la mítica de ese gran universo de MK.

si esta webseries es demasiado "real "y adulta, yo vi otras secuencias y es casi calificacion R.
