Mortal Kombat 2, the imaginatively-titled sequel to the 2021 live-action movie, is on the way, and it now has a firm theatrical release date. As reported by Variety, the film will be available to watch in IMAX from 24th October, 2025.
The sequel is being directed by Simon McQuoid, who also directed the first film, while writing duties fall to Jeremy Slater (Moon Knight, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire). Actors Karl Urban, Adeline Rudolph, Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Damon Herriman, Tati Gabrielle, and Martyn Ford are set to feature in this adaptation of the beloved NetherRealm series.
Following the success of the first movie, McQuoid made comments about introducing more well-known characters to the cast, including Johnny Cage and Kitana. He also says he aims to have the sequel embrace Mortal Kombat's «weird universe» and be unpredictable for fans.
