So the web series was ok but there hasn't been any major news on the movie front . I'd almost say do it as Netflix series . 6-10 episodes per season with each season focusing on particular characters until it culminates with the tournament. Kind of like how marvel has been building to The Defenders .
Season 1: The Ninjas
A throwback to the ninja and kung fu movies of the 70s and 80s . Two clans at war one led by a ruthless Sub-Zero and his followers that attach and slay Scorpions clan and in the process his family . He is tortured and killed by Sub-Zero , Rain, and Smoke. His only surviving members of his clan being Reptile who has been horribly disfigured and Noob Saibot who was left clinging to life . The story then follows Sub-Zeros clan as they rise to power with Zeros younger brother taking over as clan leader when the elder Zero is murdered by a vengeful blind warrior Kenshi . Scorpion finds himself resurrected on a path towards revenge . He begins to stalk and murder the members of Zeros clan until his final confrontation with Zero himself . Only to learn thing this is now the younger brother to Zero who has tried to keep his clan on the path of peace . He vows to protect the younger Zero and never take another innocent life but the wicked would be punished . The season ends with both ninjas being approached by Shang Tsung about a tournament.
Season 2 : Earth Bound Warriors
Jax, Sonya , Cage, Stryker, and Kano are this seasons stars with appearances by Raiden as he watches the events unfold . Jax, Sonya , and Stryker are part of a joint Military and FBI task force to take down Kano and his gun running organization. In order to do so they go under cover on one of the biggest Action Stars movie sets as they suspect that Kano is using this movie production to ship illegal weapons out of the states and into Asia for the new Johnny Cage movie . Initially thinking Cage was a part of this operation they learn he is clueless as his only goal is to prove to the world he is a legitimate Martial Artist . He becomes entangled in the operation and agrees to assist bringing Kano down . The movie ends with Kano getting away after murdering Stryker and the remaining trio of Jax , Sonya, and Cage being approached for a tournament by the mysterious Raiden while Kano find himself invited by Shang Tsung .
Season 3: Shaloin Monks
Lui Kang has trained his entire life for a battle he isn't even sure he believes is real . He has always heard stories about Outworls and it's ruthless ruler Shao Kahn . His Master has put him through hell in order to face the upcoming battle against the dark forces . He has been told his great grandfather had been killed by the Outworld sorcerer and minion of Kahn, Shang Tsung. A few episodes would be dedicated to the history of Outworld and Lui Kangs great grandfather Kung lao and his battle with Shang Tsung . This season ends with Raiden revealing himself to Lui Kang as his old master and explains the importance of Kangs role in the upcoming battle against Outworld . He reveals to him that unlike his grandfather this would not be a battle he has to face alone as he introduces him to Jax , Sonya, and Cage . They then begin their training under an aging Kenshi and Raiden to prepare for the battle against Outworld and its forces .
Season 4: The Tournamet
FIGHT !!!!
I'm a big Kenshi fan by the way lol. I'm sure it would need some work but I like the idea of dedicating each season to a build up of these tournaments and the fleshing out of these characters. Also I like the idea of somehow tying the earth bound characters together to a degree and all. Sure some liberties would have be taken to make this work but you could still stay very true to the characters . Just an opinion
