Will there ever be a Mortal Kombat 2 movie?
Mortal Kombat 2 is an upcoming American martial arts fantasy film directed by Simon McQuoid and written by Jeremy Slater, based on the video game franchise Mortal Kombat created by John Tobias and Ed Boon.
The release date for Mortal Kombat 2 has yet to be announced. Production on the sequel began in June 2023 but was halted due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA Actors' strike. It is still being determined when the show will resume or the film will be released.
The first film, Mortal Kombat,
was released in 2021 and was a critical and commercial success. The film was praised for its action sequences and faithfulness to the video game franchise. The
film is the sequel to 2021's Mortal Kombat and the fourth instalment in the
Mortal Kombat film series. It stars Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Tadanobu Asano,
Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Joe Taslim, and Hiroyuki Sanada, with series
newcomers Karl Urban, Tati Gabrielle and Adeline Rudolph joining the cast.
The sequel is expected to follow the same characters and plot as the first film. However, the sequel may introduce new characters and storylines.
The cast of Mortal Kombat 2 is expected to include Lewis Tan as Cole Young, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade,
Josh Lawson as Kano, Mehcad Brooks as Jax Briggs, Tadanobu Asano as Shang
Tsung and Chin Han as Lord Raiden. It has also been rumoured that the sequel
will feature the character Johnny Cage, who was not included in the first film.
The director of Mortal Kombat 2 is Simon McQuoid, who also directed the first film. Greg Russo and Dave Callaham wrote the screenplay for the
sequel.
