Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge

Earth's mightiest tournament turns deadly when a family is torn apart by Sub-Zero, a merciless killer. Hanzo Hasashi is dragged to the Netherrealm where a dark bargain with Quan Chi resurrects him as Scorpion, a vengeful wraith bent on revenge. On Earthrealm, Lord Raiden gathers a band of fighters led by Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage to defend the realm from an invasion of Outworld warriors. The unlikely team heads into a brutal arena controlled by Shang Tsung, hoping to stop his schemes and safeguard humanity. Across intense fights and confrontations, trust and skill are tested as they pursue a clash that could end the threat once and for all.

Released in 2020 as a direct-to-video feature, the film was directed by Ethan Spaulding and draws on the Mortal Kombat video game universe created by Ed Boon and John Tobias.

Critics praised the tight pacing, sharp fight choreography, and faithfulness to the game's tone. The film foregrounds vengeance and identity through Scorpion and Sub-Zero while balancing team dynamics among Liu Kang Sonya Cage and their antagonist forces. It leans into mature themes without shying from intense violence. The voice work helps ground the mythic fights with humor and humanity.

As part of a broader slate of animated Mortal Kombat features, Scorpion's Revenge helped extend the franchise's on-screen mythos for fans who prefer bite-sized, action-forward storytelling. It circulated in home video, streaming, and bonus features, contributing to ongoing conversations about how video game lore translates to animation and how iconic characters like Scorpion and Johnny Cage translate into voice performances and motion captures. For many viewers, it functions as a bridge to the broader MK animated universe, hinting at taller arcs and possible crossovers while honoring the game's lore and signature brutality.

Box office data for a direct-to-video release is sparse, and Scorpion's Revenge was released primarily to home video and streaming platforms. There is no widely reported theatrical gross, reflecting its status as an at-home entertainment title, a strategy that relies on digital sales and subscriptions to measure success.
