Apparently two Mortal Kombat films are currently in production from Warner Bros.

One film will be live action and currently has a planned theatrical release of January 15, 2021. This is the same film that was originally announced to be in production this past summer.

To mark the one-year countdown actor Ludi Lin - who plays classic MK protagonist Liu Kang - tweeted out an image from the set, which shows a slate emblazoned with the new release ...

The movie will feature iconic series characters such as Raiden, Kano, Sonya Blade, Jackson Briggs, Mileena, Shang Tsung and, of course, Sub-Zero and Scorpion. While lacking somewhat in Hollywood A-listers, Mortal Kombat has cast a host of talented stuntpersons and martial artists, and is also looking at an R-rating to allow for gore galore.
The other is an animated film called Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge and has a planned release of first half 2020.

The Hollywood Reporter fills in the hot deets. Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge, (which sounds like an unreleased title in the ill-fated MK Mythologies PS1 series), is penned by Jeremy Adams, who has previously written episodes for Supernatural and Teen Titans Go!

The movie will star Community's Joel McHale and Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter as Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade respectively. All of the original MK alumni set to put in appearances, with roles cast for Kano, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Shang Tsung, Raiden, Liu Kang, Goro, and even that prick Quan Chi.

There are no specific details regarding plot, release date, or whether Scorpion's Revenge will be a theatrical or streaming release
