Last April we learned that the fun but dumb Mortal Kombat movie that come out last year was the start of a planned trilogy (here) but we’ve hear little since then.
Until now.
It seems that New Line is moving forward with Mortal Kombat 2 with Moon Knight writer Jeremy Slater penning.
The first movie hit HBO Max and cinemas on the same day due to that damned virus, but we’d imagine that the sequel will – thankfully – be a big screen only event.
It hit the number one spot in the box office and HBO Max, so it’s no surprise that we’re going to be getting more of the same.
Although, we hope it’s not strictly more of the same as the first movie, while fun – and even featuring a couple of those fan-favourite gory deaths – was very light on plot and character and, while it’s ‘only a video game adaptation’, we’d like to see a deeper second entry… with the fun and gore, obviously.
The first movie starred Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Joe Taslim, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Tadanobu Asano and Chin Han but so far there’s no word on casting for the sequel… though we’d be surprised if a couple of those faces didn’t return and maybe not stay on their skulls the whole way through the movie.
Are you excited for more Mortal Kombat? If so… get over here!

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
