Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match Will Arrive in 2023 With Joel McHale Returning As Johnny Cage

Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match has officially been announced for 2023 and it will see Joel McHale returning as the voice of Johnny Cage.

The news was announced during the New York Comic Con panel for Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind, and arrived the same day that Mortal Kombat is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Series producer Rick Morales was on hand to confirm that Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match will be the fourth entry in the animated film series.

No further details were given for this new Legends film, but it obviously looks to put a big focus on McHale’s Johnny Cage as his name is in the title.

McHale first voiced Johnny Cage in 2020’s Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge and returned for another round in 2021’s Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms. He was absent from Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind, but will once again lend his voice to the character in this new film.

Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind was released today, October 8, and follows Kano on a “brutal journey to take over Earthrealm.” To do so, however, he will have to face off against Kenshi and Kuai Liang.

In our Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind review, we said it is “an interesting effort to illustrate more of Kenshi’s past, but it muddies its own plot. It’s a color-by-numbers apocalyptic thriller with a shiny new Mortal Kombat paint job. Some of Kenshi’s story beats are satisfying, and it’s refreshing to see a character that doesn’t get much screen time shine for a bit.”
