Screen Rant is excited to present a new clip from the upcoming animated film Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind, which arrives on Blu-ray on October 11 and marks the third release in the Mortal Kombat Legends series. Warner Bros. Animation started things off with Scorpion's Revenge in April 2020, garnering plenty of critical acclaim and fan fervor before being followed up by Battle of the Realms in August of 2021. Now, Snow Blind offers a closer look at the character of Kenshi Takahashi and teases a team-up between him and Sub-Zero.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
Aside from powerful swordsman Kenshi (voiced by Manny Jacinto, The Good Place), Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind boasts a large cast of beloved characters from the franchise, but not all of the actors from the previous films have returned. Despite Kano's story in Scorpion's Revenge leading to a sequel, he will now be played by David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings). Meanwhile, Ron Yuan takes over the role of Sub-Zero, with several other talented voice actors such as Courtenay Taylor, Keith Silverstein, and Yuri Lowenthal joining as well.
The turning point in Kenshi's story is highlighted in Screen Rant's exclusive clip from Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind, which you can view above. Brought low after a run-in with none other than Shang Tsung (voiced by Artt Butler), his eyes have just been taken from him as well as his will to live. Kenshi pleads for death rather than life, but when Shang Tsung responds by throwing him into the Well of Souls. neither of them could expect what would come next.
Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind Explores Kenshi Further
Though Kenshi Takahashi is more of a supporting character in the Mortal Kombat franchise, he is known by fans of the video games and mythology as a brilliant (albeit blind) swordsman with impressive telekinetic and psychokinetic abilities. Snow Blind opens before all of that, however, touting a younger and more impulsive version of the character who is all too eager to right the wrongs that the villainous Kano has been visiting upon his town. There is no doubt that this sense of justice mixed with bull-headness is what led Kenshi to the situation he finds himself in at the start of the clip.
Audiences have the opportunity to watch how Kenshi crawls himself out of that well and becomes the warrior he was meant to be at New York Comic Con's World Premiere of Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind at Hudson Yards today. A limited number of free tickets are still available, and fans wishing to receive them must apply via email to [email protected].
