Mortal Kombat 2

Summary

During a late consultation withColliderat 2024 ’s San Diego Comic - Con , Tan was asked for an update onMortal Kombat 2following its filing wrapping in January . Though maintain tight - lipped about major details , the Cole Young actor did tease what to expect from the motion picture ’s overall fights and tourney , promising a " very gory , very fucking " follow - upto the 2021 hit . See what Tan shared below :

For the continuation , I can assure many more fighting , much longer push . It ’s very gory , it ’s very bloody . We have Karl Urban flirt Johnny Cage . We have a good friend of mine , Adeline [ Rudolph ] , who ’s play Kitana . Martyn Ford is encounter Shao Khan . There ’s a tournament in this one . That ’s all I can say before they get crazy at me . But look , they really do listen to the the great unwashed and what we learned from the first movie , and we ’ve made it 100 times good in the 2nd movie . I ’m very delirious for fans to see it .

Mortal Kombat 2’s Tournament Is A Major Key To Its Success

Though the first flick proved to be a smash at both the corner part and on Max , there were some criticisms towards 2021’sMortal Kombat , the most notable being that of the tourney ’s absence from the movie . Given the tourney is the driving catalyst for the plot of ground in all of the secret plan , it proved quite a surprise when it did n’t appear in the reboot , especially since it was a major element in anterior adaptations . Former carbon monoxide - writer Greg Russo previously explain this decisiveness stemmed from envisioning a trilogy for the newMortal Kombatmovies , with the 2d always destine to be the tournament .

Warner Bros. has formally green - lit Mortal Kombat 2 , but why is the tourney still happening despite Earthrealm ’s win in Mortal Kombat 2021 ?

With so much of the 2021 movie ’s story focused on the events before it , Mortal Kombat 2choosing to focus on the actual tournamentis a promising sign of the filmmakers listen to lover feedback , butits actual depiction will be fundamental to the sequel ’s success . Though more of the late game have moved off from the tourney itself , those locations and their result are substantive for laying the foundation for possible future sequel . Liu Kang ’s canonical victories in both the first and second biz not only ground him as the franchise ’s main hoagie , but also solidified Shao Kahn ’s lecherousness to conquer Earthrealm .

Whether it ends up being Liu Kang or Tan ’s Cole Young who winsMortal Kombat 2 ’s tournament , delivering a right triumph over Shang Tsung in the sequel could construct the bridge for a third film to jump moving to the war to protect Earthrealm from Shao Kahn and his Outworld forces . Tan ’s promise of a " very gory " subsequence is sure to fare as a welcome sign for those who appreciate the R - rated tone taken by its predecessor , but between the introductions of Urban ’s Johnny Cage and the tournament itself , it appearsthe creative team are properly work out on meliorate what workedin the first installment .
