Caity Lotz has revealed that the title of the Legends of Tomorrow episode she will direct gives a nod to Mortal Kombat.

The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow is set to return for its fifth season in January and actress Caity Lotz will reprise her role as team captain Sara Lance/White Canary. However, Caity Lotz will also take on directorial duties for the fifth episode of Legends of Tomorrow season 5 and today she revealed the title of her entry references the Mortal Kombat franchise.

In a post on her official Twitter account, Caity Lotz revealed that the fifth episode of the season will be titled “Mortal Kahnbat” and thanked the creative team behind Legends of Tomorrow for the opportunity to helm an entry in the series. Of course, fans are suspecting the episode titled is also referencing Genghis Kahn, the founder and the emperor of the Mongol Empire who has been referenced several times on Legends of Tomorrow.

The video game was first adapted into a Mortal Kombat feature film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. The film earned a worldwide total of $122 million and is widely regarded as one of the better video game adaptations.
