The highly anticipated Mortal Kombat sequel has been making waves ever since its filming wrapped up earlier this year and a release date was set for October 2025. Excitement reached new heights when series co-creator and director of the original Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon, shared the very first look at the upcoming movie. Boon mentioned that he had the chance to see an “unfinished cut” and humorously admitted to snagging the image from producer Todd Garner’s phone. This sneak peek showcases one of Kitana’s iconic steel fans, which serve as her signature weapons in the popular gaming franchise.
Adeline Rudolph, known for her roles in Riverdale and Resident Evil, is set to portray Kitana in Mortal Kombat 2. Joining her are new additions to the cast, such as Karl Urban as Johnny Cage (from The Boys), Damon Herriman tackling the role of Quan Chi (known for his work in Justified), and Martyn Ford taking on the character of Shao Khan (featured in F9: The Fast Saga). With a talented ensemble bringing these beloved characters to life, fans are eager to see how the sequel unfolds on the big screen.
Following the success of the first Mortal Kombat movie, which introduced audiences to the new character Cole Young played by Lewis Tan, expectations are high for the sequel. The original film made its debut in 2021, both in theaters and on HBO, and managed to rake in $42 million domestically and $83 million globally. As Mortal Kombat 2 gears up for its release on the 24th of October 2025, fans are curious to see how the story progresses and which new characters will be introduced into the ever-expanding cinematic universe.
