Mark Dacascos & Casper Van Dien Training for Legacy 3

Legacy Stars Train Hard for Series 3 with Muay Thai Academy Regiment!

Posted at 09/04/2014 05:59 PM EDT by

The intrigue of Mortal Kombat X looms largest over MK fandom in 2014, but just as it did during the build to the previous game: Mortal Kombat: Legacy is gearing up to support promotion with a live-action branch that appeals to the broad pop significance of the long running franchise.

News regarding a follow-up to Legacy II has been limited. Star Casper Van Dien gave us the first concrete indication of a third series when he documented the start of his training. Now the Johnny Cage actor has revealed the return of one of his co-stars -- Mark Dacascos getting into the act with more photos from their Legacy training!

The pair have evidently been sharpening up their combat skills with the science of eight limbs. The photos were taken in the West Hollywood ring of Muay Thai Academy of America. Founded by Surapuk Jamjuntr aka “Kru Puk” -- MTA boasts a philosophy of authenticity that includes recruiting top Thai fighters as instructors. Dacascos is a student of Kru Puk.

Van Dien and Dacascos were two of the star recruits of a dramatically recast Legacy II, appearing as Johnny Cage and Kung Lao respectively. They represent two of Earthrealm's surviving fighters in the live-action webseries, which tells a very different version of the classic story of the Mortal Kombat tournament.

The entirety of Mortal Kombat: Legacy II can be watched online right now. Fans looking to take their interest further can look forward to a Blu-Ray & DVD release October 14.

FIRST!!

Too bad there won't be a Sub-Zero though :(

I'm still surprised that a 3rd season of Legacy is being done. I really wonder if Cary Tagawa will come back as Shang Tsung and just how the story will be told. I too am still not happy about both Sub-Zero brothers being killed off, but maybe this Bi-Han has a son somewhere who will become the next Sub-Zero. *shrugs*

They will find a way to bring back to life Bi-Han or Kuai Liang or both, or even a new Sub-Zero.

The second season was good and deserved a sequel. Glad to hear this will be made one day or another.

Mark Dacascos may had his share of cheesy 80s-90s flicks, but there's no doubt that he's a great martial artist and stuntsman. I first remember watching him in "Brotherhood of the Wolf" and he performed a badass role in it.

Yeah, he was great in that movie. I think he was a pretty cool choice for Kung Lao, but I just didn't like what was done with him in MK: Legacy. He should have had at least one fight scene in the second season.

I can't believe season 3 was green lit.

What's ironic is that in Legacy, Kung Lao is the pacifist while Liu Kang is the Kung Fu Anakin who can't control his emotions and is belligerent while in the original MK timeline the roles are switched (well except for the Anakin part).

I enjoyed Legacys first season but I can't say I was too fond of season 2.

I'm all for changing things from the source material if it fits live action better, but the changes where just so fucking random.

Bi han being the "good" Sub-zero and KL being a little bitch and dying before the first MK?

Lui Kang being a psycho (as stated above the role reversal of him and Kung Lao)

Ermac being...whatever Ermac was, and him being an antagonistic towards Kenshi and not an Ally. I just didn't get it.

Hopefully Season 3 is better, I watched Season 2 the day it was released and havent since, maybe I should watch it again and see if my opinion differs.

Please God no. Legacy is fucking terrible and absolutely butchers MK. Can't believe last season was "good" enough to warrant another. Horrible pacing, cheesy everything, and worst of all, bland action. To see legacy piggy backing on MKX's hype is just depressing. It's like watching a drugged chimp dressed up like a clown trying to suck its own dick with the MK logo in the background. Fans of the series should be kept from breeding and hunted for sport. There should be sprawling game reserves opened across the country where they can roam relatively free to speak to each other about how Legacy is better than nothing and like, come on, its just a web series man! Sons and Fathers will strengthen ancient family bonds while tracking and gunning these poor bastards down. No one will dare eat the meat of course as it is permanently tainted with fowl tastes, putrid odors bad enough to ward off flies and maggots.

But yeah I'm just fuckin around, I don't actually feel this strongly about it. just high and felt like typing some bullshit. If you disagree thats coo

I was not thrilled with Season 2. Season 1 though was great. So I'm hoping Season 3 does a much better job since the show can do better. Hopefully Johnny gets better fight scenes too. And would it kill anyone besides Scorpion or Sub-Zero to do a damn special move?

I don't like this piece of news one bit! Season 1 of Legacy was watchable, but season 2 sucked so much ass. If there really is going to be a season 3 I will NOT watch it. Especially with Casper Van Dien and Mark Dacascos because their too ****ing OLD!

Why does a season 3 keep getting announced by Van Dien when nobody else is confirmed and there is NO director???

So I take it you don't care for aged characters?

Ktanch will direct the third season, but not the movie.

Third season is on the way, it's not a Casper delusion

But when will they make the movie?? At this point, in 2018 or so...
Since last October 2013, when Kevin announced he wouldn't make the movie, there are no news...

Do you still believe in fairy tales?

Wb owns the rights of the MK franchise since 2009 which makes straight 5 years now. If they really wanted to, they could already have done the movie by now.

The third movie/reboot will be made ONLY if MKX and another Mk media will be huge hits, that's why Mk legacy should be supported.

As for now there is no movie in the works. All the infos released so far are plain bullsheets

For all I can tell, Van Dien is really enjoying being enrolled in and promoting MK. He actually gave the impression of the most enthusiastic member of the crew. The dark, vengefull and "sick-of-bullshit" Cage whom Mullins portrayed was a nice touch, though, while Van Dien's Cage is not nearly as menacing. But maybe he just needs more time.
