The sequel to the ‘Mortal Kombat’ movie now has a release date.
Warner Bros. announced that ‘Mortal Kombat 2’ will hit theaters on October 24, 2025. The first film was released during the pandemic in 2021 and was available on HBO Max, but this sequel will be shown exclusively in theaters, including IMAX.
The filming for ‘Mortal Kombat 2’ was completed in January 2024. Lewis Tan previously said that the sequel would be much larger in scale compared to the first movie:
“#2 is just going to be absolutely insane. Way bigger.”
Ed Boon, who co-created the original ‘Mortal Kombat’ video game, is also involved in the project.
