Mortal Kombat 2 To Start Filming Soon

gameranx.com:

The Mortal Kombat franchise is one of the most respected series in video games. But it also has an interesting history in other media. It was one of the first video game movies that were actually good. In fact, it’s hailed as quality even today. However, its sequel, and the cartoon series later attached to it, was not so quality. However, not unlike its gaming line, the movies saw a reboot via the 2021 film. It brought modern looks and fights to the universe, and it was a big hit despite it being during the pandemic era. That’s why Mortal Kombat 2 was confirmed rather early after release.

However, despite the team teasing about what would happen in the film, things have been rather quiet recently. But, there might be a change on that front as reports indicate that Mortal Kombat 2 will film this Summer and be done by the fall. That means we’re likely seeing a 2024 release date for the movie, and that’ll make fans very happy.

One of the biggest confirmed things about the second film in the reboot line is that it will focus on the tournament. The reboot film did plenty of worldbuilding and alluded to the tournament, but the whole plot was essentially about preventing the tournament from “being needed” in the first place. That rubbed fans the wrong way because half the point of the franchise is the tournament and everything connected to it, and the aftermath that follows it.

That being said, the second film will focus on the tournament, and we know that other Kombatants will be in the sequel, including the long-awaited return of Johnny Cage. However, no one has been attached to the role as of yet.
