Departed Legacy director Kevin Tancharoen has offered a small glimpse into the movie that might have been. He took to Instagram to reveal an unused design for Mileena in the stalled third Mortal Kombat feature.

The pant design echoes superficial elements of Mileena's Mortal Kombat X design update [see more], but remains typically resistant to the aesthetic established over ten video game instalments. Actress Jolene Tran appeared as Mileena in episodes 4 & 5 of Tancharoen's first series of Mortal Kombat: Legacy - two of the most criticized episodes. Michelle Lee assumed the role in Series 2 of the webseries.

Tancharoen left the movie late in 2013 [full story]; announcing his exit in a brief Tweet more than a year after first teasing a script. Michael Jai White (Jax) was attached to star.

The director reportedly expressed interest in return for a third webseries (this time last year), but has since become involved in episodes of CW's DC superhero genre series The Flash, and Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. Legacy II stunt coordinator Garrett Warren has taken over a third series - "Mortal Kombat: Generations" - with Tancharoen's blessing.
