It has been announced that Mortal Kombat 2 has started shooting: We learned our lesson from the previous movie

Todd Garner, the producer of the first Mortal Kombat movie, announced on Twitter that he has started shooting for the sequel in Australia. Garner also stated that there will be exciting things in the sequel and the mistakes of the first movie will be fixed.

In the movie adaptation of the game, the warriors of Earth realm participate in a deadly tournament to thwart the invasion of Shang Tsung and the forces of the Outer World. Although not much details are given about the movie, it is known that new characters will also participate.

How Will Mortal Kombat 2 Movie Complement the Deficiencies of the First Movie?

“We’re getting started! I’m excited to start shooting the new movie and trust me, we listened to you this time. We’ve learned from our mistakes and are committed to making the best sequel possible. I respect and support everyone’s opinion 100%, but I will block you if there are excessive comments. Anyway then, let’s go on a super journey!”

The Mortal Kombat movie, which was released in 2021, received great attention from the fans of the game, and the performances of Josh Lawson, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada, who played characters such as Kano, Sub-Zero and Scorpion, were also highly appreciated.

However, the film was criticized by critics for its screenplay and storytelling. In fact, one of the comments was: “Half avengers wannabe, half martial arts show match, but unfortunately it’s all boring.” Also, fans of the game were disappointed that the actual tournament was not included in the movie. In Mortal Kombat 2, the tournament is expected to take place and new characters are expected to be added to the roster.

Among the actors we will see from the first movie in the sequel are Lewis Tan, Mehcad Brooks, Tadanobu Asano, Ludi Lin, Jessica McNamee, Joe Talisman and Chin Han. The character of Johnny Cage has been confirmed in the new movie, but it is not yet clear who will portray him. The vision date of the Mortal Kombat 2 movie is not yet clear, because even the shooting has just begun. However, if there is any development, we will be here to share.

Todd Garner also shared a photo of himself sitting with the new cast joining the cast from the first movie.
