However, the site doesn't provide a source for this information, and it may be false.
- Another rumor claims that Devastation will bypass Annihilation completely, citing the second film's poor performance and reception.
- Actor Christopher Lambert claims that, while the Devastation is has already been written, it will be scrapped and recreated upon the release of the latest Mortal Kombat game, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
Cast
Various 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, and Chris Casamassa as Scorpion.. Additional rumors claim that Sandra Hess, from Annihilation, will portray Sonya Blade, rather than Bridgette Wilson from the first film.
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.
