Mortal Kombat: Devastation is the third installment in the movie franchise based on the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. Currently, the film's script is still being developed.

Possible storyline

There is no confirmed information about the plot of this movie. So far, three rumors have been spread over the years:

Rumor #1: This movie will disregard Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and will be an alternative sequel to Mortal Kombat. This rumor went rampant for years.

Source: Threshold Entertainment, although with the years it became a "ghost quote", since every fansite supporting this information quoted other fansites, none of them having a link to the original source.

Rumor #2: This movie is going to be based on the games Mortal Kombat: Deception and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the final scene of the movie will be re-written after the release of the last game mentioned.

Source: Christopher Lambert apparently revealed this information in an interview published on .

Rumor #3: This movie is actually going to be a prequel with Sub Zero as the main character. Neither Liu Kang, Sonya Blade or Johnny Cage will be in this movie.

Source: This information was apparently revealed by Robin Shou. However, all the quotes can be traced down to , which appears to be the source of this information, but provides no link or backup for that quote.

CONFIRMED INFORMATION: There is really no confirmed information about the plot since the script is still being worked upon. And since all the rumors above seem to contradict each other (and the fact that all their sources seem to be made up since it comes from forum posts, blogs or free-hosted websites), there's a big chance that all three of them are false.

Cast

Chris Casamassa is rumored to return as Scorpion, with Matthias Hues portraying Fujin and Adoni Maropis reprising his role of Quan Chi from Mortal Kombat: Conquest.

Other rumors cite the return of some of the first film's cast, such as Linden Ashby and Christopher Lambert as Johnny Cage and Raiden, respectively..

Lambert has stated that he will be appearing in Devastation, as Raiden once again, but didn't share any details about his fellow cast members or the plot.

The film's cast has yet to be confirmed by any official source.

Crew

Currently, two different directors are rumored to be tied to the third Mortal Kombat film, mink and Christopher Morrison.

Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan are said to be developing the screenplay, and Lawrence Kasanoff will produce.

Like the cast, no crew member has been officially confirmed.
