Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion wrapped in fiery aura in 2021's Mortal Kombat
The Big Picture The fighting is set to continue, with Warner Bros. announcing a release date for Mortal Kombat 2. According to Deadline, the sequel to the video game adaptation will debut in theaters on October 24, 2025, more than four years after the premiere of its predecessor. Based on the popular video game of the same name, the Mortal Kombat movies take place in a universe where the major characters are capable of engaging in explosive fights thanks to their unpredictable abilities.
Simon McQuoid, who directed the first Mortal Kombat movie, returned to helm the sequel, with the filmmaker ready to continue Cole Young's journey as a central piece of the conflict between the Outworld and the Earthrealm. Before taking the reigns of the franchise, McQuoid had been busy with titles such as The Stone Forest and The Night-time Economy, with the short films allowing the filmmaker to make the jump towards bigger movies.
Mortal Kombat fans should be glad to know that the sequel has already been filmed, with principal photography coming to an end within the first weeks of this year. A release date confirmed for the final months of next year will give the team behind the sequel more than enough time to work on the story's heavy visual effects and editing. Mortal Kombat 2 will also feature the return of Sonya Blade , Jax and Scorpion , as Cole goes on a quest to find Johnny Cage .
What Was 'Mortal Kombat' About? Close The first Mortal Kombat movie was released during the pandemic, when movie theaters were barely making a recovery after extended closures. The adaptation was released simultaneously on Max, giving viewers the option of watching the explosive quest at home if they still didn't feel comfortable enough to go to a multiplex.
