Mortal Kombat 2 has to break a disappointing franchise trend to be the sequel Mortal Kombat deserves. With an expansive modern slate of video game movie adaptations, ranging from well-received to critically slammed, the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 hopes to join the latter part of the conversation and finally give fans of the fighting game series the live-action experience they deserve.
Mortal Kombat Never Had A Great Movie Sequel Annihilation And Battle Of The Realms Were Worse Than Their Predecessors Close Whether Mortal Kombat could translate well to a theatrical event was unclear, but New Line Cinema ultimately pushed toward a movie adaptation of the game. They geared up for the release of the first Mortal Kombat movie in 1995 and brought in newcomer Paul W.S.
NetherRealm Studios did release several animated follow-ups, including the fully rated R Legends series. The first entry, Scorpion's Revenge, was an instant hit, but the sequels failed to capture the same widespread attention or make any kind of splash. There are a variety of theories about the story of Mortal Kombat 2, but no matter the direction it goes, it must break the franchise's disappointing sequel trend.
Lewis Tan, Hiroyuki Sanada, and more of the first movie's celebrated cast are set to return for the sequel. Simon McQuoid also returns to direct and fulfill his vision, with a screenplay by Jeremy Slater, who's known for his work on Moon Knight and Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.
