Mortal Kombat: Legacy 2 star Casper Van Dien has shared a new set photo from the as yet unreleased third series that shows just how far designs are starting to borrow from the look of the games! Check out the happy snap with third series director Garrett Warren below:

As is obvious, Casper Van Dien reprises his role as Johnny Cage. The "Johnny" chest tattoo and "Cage" belt directly reference the design introduced in Mortal Kombat (2011) [full story]. The same look was featured recently in a WWE Immortals crossover, and as an alternate skin in Mortal Kombat X. Other photos from the set show MKX inspired designs for Scorpion and Erron Black.
