Scorpion Confirms "Mortal Kombat 3" Movie

Warner Bros recently announced that it has picked up most of Midway Games' assets in bankruptcy court, giving the studio rights to "Mortal Kombat," "Spy Hunter," "Joust" and several other game franchises. What Warners was planning to do with the properties was unknown.

Now, actor Chris Casamassa tells SGV Tribune that he's set to start filming the third "Mortal Kombat" film in September. The 44-year-old eighth-degree black belt previously played the Scorpion character in the original "Mortal Kombat," but was replaced in the sequel.

And while Casamassa confirmed the new movie, he did not mention that he would reprise his role. So there's still a chance that Warner Bros may not be looking to simply bring back the original cast from the 1995 "Mortal Kombat" movie.
