With so many updates coming from the set of the new Mortal Kombat: Legacy live-action series, you'd be forgiven for falling a bit behind! That's why we're taking stock of what we know (and some of what we don't) in a follow-up to our Legacy Kompendium from last year's original series!
With the 2013 series just two weeks into filming, it's staggering how much we do already know! It's clear WB are all too happy to feed anticipation Legacy fans have built for this second series -- giving us significantly more info than we had this time last year!
Director Kevin Tancharoen announced the series back in July through Machinima, revealing not only key plot details -- but also a massive list of characters we can expect to participate in the tournament-centric second series!
Some of the biggest stories to come next were the surprise exits from the show -- major players from the first series revealing their departure for various reasons. Those exits leave a lot of questions unanswered based on the long list of announced returning characters, but opened the doors to some surprise new additions!
The return of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa to the role of Shang Tsung is without a doubt the biggest bombshell to hit the live-action series since the original 1995 film that featured him! The same Warner Brothers press release that announced the return gave us some other seasoned names joining the cast, but much of the roster remains unknown. Mortal Kombat Online is once again working hard to verify each fact and will continue to update the following list as confirmations are made.

... Kung Lao
