Mortal Kombat Sequel Ends Filming

Mortal Kombat 2 has finished shooting. The sequel to 2021’s Mortal Kombat, based on the popular fighting video game, saw its cast off with a celebratory wrap party.

Pics from the party were posted on Instagram by actor Lewis Tan, who plays Cole Young. He can be seen posing with Martyn Ford, who plays antagonist Shao Khan.

“Wrap party #MortalKombat #MK2,” writes Tan, as he smiles with Ford in a suit. They’ll both be wearing something very different in the film, as they take each other on in a high-stakes battle for the universe.

The film is now set to enter post-production ahead of an assumed release later this year.

Simon McQuoid directs, from a screenplay written by Moon Knight head writer Jeremy Slater. Joining a returning cast, which including Josh Lawson as Kano, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, and Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, are Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, and CJ. Bloomfield as Baraka.

The Mortal Kombat 2 release date has yet to be announced.

Speaking of video game adaptions, a Legend of Zelda movie is in production at Nintendo.
