FULL TRAILER (2024) Warner Bros. & Max Movie

After the events of the first Mortal Kombat tournament, Earthrealm’s victory enrages Shao Kahn, the Emperor of Outworld. Defying the rules of the Elder Gods, he declares an all-out invasion on Earthrealm, merging the realms in a catastrophic collision. As chaos spreads, Lord Raiden gathers Earth’s greatest fighters for one final stand. But with secrets, betrayals, and hidden agendas, the line between ally and enemy blurs, leading to an explosive battle for the survival of all realms.

While there haven’t been many Mortal Kombat 2 story details, the end of Mortal Kombat sets up further invasions by Shang Tsung (Chin Han) as he seeks to use his Outworld allies to prevent a fair Mortal Kombat tournament from happening. Though the wait to find out who will be playing the iconic Johnny Cage is getting harder, it was confirmed in the very final shot of Mortal Kombat that the smart-talking Hollywood star will be in the sequel too. In more confirmed Mortal Kombat 2 updates, an actual Mortal Kombat tournament will be shown in a Mortal Kombat 2 movie, making up for its absence in the first movie.

It has been all but confirmed that Joe Taslim will return in Mortal Kombat 2 too, which was teased by Garner, but it might not be as Sub-Zero. Taslim will likely return as Noob Saibot, the shadow that the character turns into after being killed by Scorpion in the game lore. It was previously reported that Taslim signed a five-movie deal with Warner Bros. so it’s hardly surprising that the character is returning in some capacity despite his death in the 2021 movie.
