It’s as soon as once more time to scream “Mortal Kombat!” whereas techno music blares on the soundtrack.
The current Mortal Kombat film will get the sequel that the movie’s ultimate scenes teased. And based on Deadline, Simon McQuoid, who helmed the earlier film, will return for this second chapter of the story.
The final Mortal Kombat didn’t really depict the martial arts event of its title and numerous video video games. As a substitute, it basically advised a prequel story, with varied fighters from Earth and the evil “Outworld” massing their forces to arrange for the following certainly one of these occasional “Mortal Kombat” tournaments. Simply earlier than the closing credit, the movie’s fundamental character, Cole Younger, headed to Hollywood to discover a longtime Mortal Kombat character who hadn’t appeared within the first movie, Johnny Cage.
The final Mortal Kombat premiered in theaters and on HBO Max within the spring of 2021. In an interview with ScreenCrush for the primary movie, McQuoid had this to say about why so many online game variations stumble:
I don’t actually know. I definitely don’t profess to have the key sauce on that individual factor. We felt from the beginning of this course of that we had been actually making an attempt to respect the fabric and never ignore it. And we actually spent quite a lot of time analyzing and interested by what mattered to the followers, and what this property actually is. Maybe typically what I’ve noticed in different online game variations, definitely a few of the much less profitable ones, they don’t have a tendency to do this. They suppose they will run away from the fabric and do no matter they like with it. And it simply doesn’t get revered and elevated sufficient.
We’ll see whether or not he elevates Mortal Kombat 2 somewhat down the highway. Let’s hope it’s at the least higher than this Mortal Kombat film sequel…
