The filming of Mortal Kombat 2 draws closer as production announces a shooting location. Mortal Kombat 2 is the sequel to 2021's Mortal Kombat, with both films being based on the infamously violent video game franchise. Much like the games, the film sees a group of diverse fighters pulled into a deadly battle for the fate of the world, with Lewis Tan's Cole Young being the driving force at the center of the plot.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Now, New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. have announced that the Mortal Kombat 2 movie has settled on a filming location, with the production heading to Queensland, Australia. Details on the follow-up have been trickling out about the cast, but much remains under wraps. However, production on Mortal Kombat 2 was rumored to be eyeing a summer start, with a filming location bringing cameras one step closer to rolling.
What Mortal Kombat 2 Has In Store The 2021 adaptation embraced what made the video game franchise so popular by ensuring the Mortal Kombat movie was R-rated. As a result, it featured the games' excessive violence and even fatalities, which were absent in previous film adaptations. Mortal Kombat first made its way to theaters with Paul W.S. Anderson's 1995 movie, which was followed by Mortal Kombat: Annihilation in 1997.
The end of 2021's Mortal Kombat teased the inclusion of Johnny Cage in the sequel, with Karl Urban said to be playing the character. The new movie is also said to feature Tati Gabrielle as Jade, with other announced characters set to appear, like Kitana and Shoa Kahn. Mortal Kombat 2 will also see returning cast, with Jessica McNamee, Tan, Hiroyuki Sanada, Mehcad Brooks, and Joe Taslim expected to reprise their roles.
Mortal Kombat 2 is bringing back director Simon McQuoid, who helmed the first installment, ensuring the new film will have the same look and style. In addition, the first film teased the actual Mortal Kombat tournament, which was not in the movie, meaning the story will likely pick up that plot thread. So, while numerous details about the film are still under wraps, Mortal Kombat 2 looks to be putting the pieces together for another successful film.
