In 1995 the hit video game Mortal Kombat made its way onto the big screen to major success before the not-so-great follow up in 1997. After the success of the gritty online series and the badass animated feature in 2020 a new film hit theaters in 2021 to much success. Now the highly anticipated sequel is almost here aptly titled Mortal Kombat II starring Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Joe Taslim, Hiroyuki Sanada, Max Huang and Karl Urban joining the cast as Johnny Cage and Simon McQuid returning to direct.

 

While the official plot of the film hasn’t been revealed it was stated by one of the writers of the first film, Greg Russo that the planned trilogy had this second feature focusing on the tournament itself and the final film afterwards. So we shall see what it brings, but no doubt will be a butt load more martial arts action and hopefully more flawless victories.

 

While you will now have to wait until May 15, 2026 to see the film in theaters, you can check out the new featurette along with the previously released character posters and trailer for the film.
