Jordan Rodrigues Returns as Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, available on 4K, Blu-ray and Digital, Tuesday August 31, 2021.
Malaysian-Australian actor, Jordan Rodrigues returns as Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, in the sequel Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge and hopefully, in a full trilogy of the franchise.
Rodrigues returns to the Mortal Kombat franchise as Liu Kang for a second time continues to play well with others…except maybe Johnny Cage (Joel McHale), who they tolerate throughout the video games and various incarnations of the property.
Liu Kang must save the Six Realms and essentially all of creation.
Rodrigues and I discuss the significance of the character, what it is like being the children of immigrants who did not follow the safer routes in chosen fields and how the Mortal Kombat characters have evolved in this sequel.

Official Synopsis:
The fate of the universe once again hangs in the balance as warriors come together for one final clash in Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, an all-new, feature-length film produced by Warner Bros. Animation in coordination with NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The film arrives from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Digital, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack on August 31, 2021.
Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms picks up shortly after the explosive finale of Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, the 2020 blockbuster hit that initiated these animated films – which are based on one of the most popular videogame franchises in history. In Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, our team of heroes are besieged by the enemy forces of Shao Kahn – forcing Raiden and his group of warriors into a deal to compete in a final Mortal Kombat that will determine the fate of the realms. Now our heroes must travel to Outworld in order to defend Earthrealm and, simultaneously, Scorpion must find the ancient Kamidogu before it’s used to resurrect the One Being – which would mean certain destruction of all things in the universe. Time is short and the stakes are high in this action-packed continuation of the Mortal Kombat journey.
Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms is directed by Ethan Spaulding (Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, Batman: Assault on Arkham) from a script by Jeremy Adams (Supernatural, Justice Society: World War II) and based on the videogame created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. Rick Morales (Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders, Batman vs. Two-Face) is Producer. Jim Krieg (Batman: Gotham by Gaslight) is Producer. Executive Producer is Sam Register. Ed Boon (NetherRealm Studios) is Creative Consultant.
