The Mortal Kombat film reboot took theaters by storm last year, and Warner Brothers are moving ahead on a sequel.
A report from Deadline confirmed that Mortal Kombat 2 is happening, with screenwriter Jeremy Slater already on board to pen the script. Not much else is known about the movie at this time, but 2021’s Mortal Kombat is among the best video game adaptations, so it’s exciting news nonetheless.
Slater’s writing credits include Marvel Studio’s upcoming TV series Moon Knight, which debuts March 30 on Disney+. He didn’t work on Mortal Kombat 2021, but folks attached to the production are happy about his inclusion. Producer Todd Garner even shared a teaser image for Mortal Kombat 2 that you can check out below.

The sequel is likely a couple of years away, but in the meantime, Mortal Kombat 11 is free(ish) on several subscription services right now. For PS4 and PS5 owners, PlayStation Now has the game for the rest of January. Meanwhile, Game Pass subscribers get access to Mortal Kombat 11 on the Xbox side of things too.
Hopefully, Mortal Kombat 2 maintains the first movie’s level of quality and doesn’t end up as yet another terrible video game adaptation. Perhaps this is the movie The Rock was teasing — pure speculation on our part, mind you.
