Report: ‘Mortal Kombat X’ Making Room for Jason, Predator, Spawn

Published

I somehow managed to miss some potentially very exciting stories regarding Mortal Kombat X, and specifically the characters we know developer Netherrealm will add to the game’s already impressive roster of fighters following its release next month.

This isn’t breaking news, but what’s strange is that I would stumble upon this story today, mere hours after I finished writing a feature on some horror movie icons I’d like to see in the upcoming game. Look for that to go live tomorrow morning! Now about that news…

If you follow series co-creator Ed Boon on Twitter, you may have noticed some interesting activity on his page. Since as early as July of last year, he’s been sharing images sent to him by fans that tease the possible inclusion of Jason Voorhees and/or the Predator in Mortal Kombat X.

The Predator made an appearance less than a year ago in DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts, and that made no sense at all, whereas he’s the ideal candidate for a gory fighting game. Adding a modicum of credibility to Predator’s inclusion in the game is a report from VideoGamer that mentions a June 2015 release date for the Predator pack, which they say will also include Colonel Al Dillon.

As for Jason Voorhees, the obvious benefit of his inclusion is that it would go a long way in promoting that Friday the 13th video game we’re supposed to get in October.

None of this can be considered an official confirmation, but it’s all certainly intriguing.

Todd Mcfarlane recently confirmed the possibility that Spawn may also make an appearance. The deal is already in place, so it’s essentially up to Netherrealm to decide whether or not they’re interested in welcoming him to the roster.

“They have access to be able to use [Spawn] in a couple of their games if they want to,” says Mcfarlane. “Again, it’s up to their discretion. So, uh… I gave them a window of time. And, so, I’ll just leave it to them to be able to do what it is that they want. So, eventually they’ll phone me and say ‘Hey. We want to use him here. Is that okay?’ Well, technically it’s okay because we’ve already said yes.” Kind of an odd way to explain it, but there you go.

Mcfarlane’s full interview with GamerFitNation can be found below.

Mortal Kombat X releases on April 14 for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Art the Clown will be terrorizing Miles County two weeks earlier.

We’re excited to announce today that Terrifier 3 will now be released in theaters nationwide on October 11, 2024,  just in time for Halloween! The news was first reported by Variety.

This moves the release date up two weeks, giving you even more time to get into the holiday spirit – and make sure your stomachs are fully settled in time for any year-end family gatherings and dinners.

In Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting’s Terrifier 3, from filmmakers Damien Leone and Phil Falcone, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is set to unleash another round of chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve. Returning cast includes Lauren LaVera (Sienna), Samantha Scaffidi (Victoria Heyes), Elliot Fullam (Jonathan Shaw) and AEW superstar Chris Jericho (Burke), with Daniel Roebuck set to debut as Santa Claus.

“We’re so excited to bring the next Terrifier to theaters this fall just in time for the Halloween season,” said franchise producer Phil Falcone. “Terrifier 3 will deliver everything the fans expect and more with Art the Clown taking things to the next level. We can’t thank our fans enough for their support and for making us believe we’ve made something truly special.”

“I knew the second I saw Terrifier 2 that it would be a generational horror film and was ecstatic when horror fans showed up to experience the movie in theaters making it one of the biggest indie horror successes of all time,” added Brad Miska, VP, Bloody Disgusting for Cineverse. “With Terrifier 3, Damien Leone and Phil Falcone have hand-crafted a theatrical experience like no other that will shock the hell out of audiences this fall. Art the Clown will slay October once again.”

Terrifier 3, which recently wrapped production in New York, follows 2022’s instant cult slasher sensation, Terrifier 2. The Terrifier franchise has not only been a box office and streaming smash, but the brand – and the newest horror icon, Art the Clown – have become pop culture phenomena. It has achieved a sensational amount of buzz, press coverage and mainstream attention for the previous movie, including:   

Written and directed by Damien Leone, Terrifier 3 comes courtesy of Dark Age Cinema Productions. Phil Falcone Produces with Lisa Falcone acting as Executive Producer. Co-producers include Michael Leavy, Jason Leavy, George Steuber, and Steve Della Salla. Brad Miska, Brandon Hill, and Erick Opeka Executive Produce for Cineverse. Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor also Executive Produce. 

Following the theatrical run, Cineverse plans to release Terrifier 3 across all platforms, including its SCREAMBOX horror streaming service. Stay tuned for an at-home premiere date.
