“Mortal Kombat 2”: release date, announcement

After much deliberation, the creators of the fantastic action movie “Mortal Kombat” have finally decided to move on. Season 2 has been officially greenlit, but production will not begin until 2023. Most likely, the premiere of the part 2 of the action movie will be released no earlier than the end of 2023. We continue to follow the news.
Having successfully broken into the world distribution, the first film grossed a good box office, but insufficient ratings and average audience reviews did not please Simon McQuoid, James Wan and Todd Garner, the producers of the film. Regardless, fans are looking forward to the new story.

Plot

In ancient times, there was the impeccable warrior Hanzo Hasashi. He loved his family very much. In his absence, Shang Tsung’s henchmen showed up at his house. The most influential of them, the cryomancer Sub-Zero, froze Hasashi’s wife and son. But before the villain arrived, the woman managed to hide her little daughter.

Hasashi, who arrived in time, only managed to see the lifeless bodies of his son and wife, after which Sub-Zero was killed. This led to insane consequences, as a result of which Hanzo spent many years in hellfire, and Sub-Zero was sure that his entire family was exterminated. But at the last moment, Raiden, a thunder god, appears, who takes the baby and gives it to a safe place.

According to ancient legend, a descendant of Hanzo Hasashi must free the Earth from the emperor’s invasions. That is why it was important for Sub-Zero to destroy all the descendants of the great fighter. Many years passed before it became known that there were still people on Earth who were related to Hasashi by blood. One of them was a simple man whose capabilities were not surprising.

Cole Young is a regular guy who makes money from fights. In a fight, he always chooses his daughter as his second. The wife prefers to wait for her husband outside the battlefield, since she cannot watch the battles with his participation. Once a powerful man with superpowers came to them — it was Sub-Zero, who wanted to destroy the descendant belonging to the clan of his longtime enemy.

Defeated, Sub-Zero does not stop the race. But Raiden again enters the business, who is ready to side with Cole and give the warriors of Earth an opportunity to fight the imperial fighters in the Mortal Kombat tournament. Having defeated Shang Tsung, Cole has a new task — to find new fighters to participate in the next tournament…

Possible part 2 of the film will be devoted to new battles. Thanks to the fight with the servant Shang Tsung, Cole will be able to open his arcade and then successfully use his superpowers in battles with opponents. But he needs a team, because the future of the universe is at stake, which the emperor is ready to absorb at any moment…
