Cole sucked. That is all.

Ed Boon Wants The Rock as Shao Kahn: https://www.thegamer.com/mortal-kombat-the-rock-shao-kahn/

I like that Ed Boon is already showing interest in this film with this fan casting. He was visibly absent during the production and release of the film with only minimal mentions here and there. But he was very involved with both animated films (him appearing in the special features tell us that, besides him telling us in those same special features lol), which were actually much faithful and many ways better than the life-action "prequel," or dare I say, "requel."

Also love the teaser image Todd Gardner posted on his twitter: https://twitter.com/Todd_Garner/status/1486393378702987264

Glad to see Greg Russo gone.

Definitely hate to see anyone used as a pawn again to further the MK films, i.e. Kevin T.

Not so weird to see many of this "new-gen" fandom sites give up already. Like, those of us who've been around since MK first was released 30 years ago have all seen Ed Boon and his team tease and troll fans, lending such efforts into our game magazines to do the same as well.

This is a movie I can stand behind. And it's about damn time.

They didn’t use Greg version of resident evil it was someone else

Oh wow, thought he was credited. Just reaffirms my statement: "Glad to see him gone."

If I could thumb this up 100 times I'd do it 101 times. Just saying. No offense to the actor, but I hope his character is killed off.

So if this new film gets based around the 1st Tournament since the 1st one is supposedly a pre-Tournament film, the Grand Champion Goro is dead.

Good luck on how to explain that to everyone.

I have no love for the 2021 film. Horrible.

>writing credits include:

>FANT4STIC
>Netflix shit

Might be even worse than Russo.

from i unsatand he only wrote the first draft of FANT4STIC from which naver made on screen

I love to see the MK fandom come together like this. We can all agree, Cole Young needs to get Fatality'd during the opening credits and leave room for the real characters to shine.

I really hope they dedicate more time and effort to the fight scenes, and go for a more unique sounding OST.

I'm happy that Max Huang also shared the announcement, so hopefully that means Kung Lao will return. Fingers crossed for Kano to return as well.

Study and compare the '2' at the top compared to the '2' in this.

Pretty identical, just fiery.

They are both the number 2, yes.

Whether it's a suspicious indication he's alive who knows. Could be debatable, although I think he's dead. His followers always have these theories, so here's another one but MK related.

What part of "Moon Knight" and Disney+ did you fail to read? And by "Netflix shit" you mean Umbrella Academy and Death Note, a very popular film and American adaptation of the Japanese anime (yes I know the Japanese live-action films are better but the Netflix film is still great - I own all of them) I hate to say it but his credits are far more superior than Russo's. Ok, so some fans didn't like The lazardus Effect (it was a remake anyway if I recall) but it too wasn't a bad movie.

Not to mention, for whatever reasons unknown to us fans, he's also a producer on Moon Knight AND he received special thanks in the credits for big films like Suicide Squad and Brightburn.

So this is Mortal Kombat 2 not Mortal Kombat II, with roman numerals. Another title not to get twisted.

No one knows yet. All we know is the film has been announced, a screenwriter has been named and it appears Todd Gardner is producing. Several cast members on social media responded. Nothing else. Could be years before we see this sequel, could be even sooner, that all depends on Warner Bros.

I thought somewhere in that movie they hinted at the fact that those killed pre-tournament are not "truly dead" or something?

I only watched the new film once so somebody more familiar may have to shine some light on that.

Yes, in the end Shang Tsung summons the souls of Goro and someone else, presumably all his fallen warriors even if left unseen. So it's very likely the dead warriors will be resurrected "magically" (whether its Tsung's or Quan Chi's or whatever) kind of like how they are in the earlier games.

Fyi: If you are following the cast members on Instagram many are posting they are returning.

Among them are Sisi Stringer who posted photos of Mileena with a caption "The Queen is back"

Very presumptuous but it makes me wonder if this film immediately went to development quietly not soon after news broke of its success.

Assuming Syzoth is resurrected as Reptile proper, like Sub-Zero>Noob.

Pretty sure this was the intention the whole time, regardless of fans complaining he died a jobber.

He'll die a jobber again, obviously, but we still love him.

The ending told us they planned to resurrect characters. But why kill them off in the first place? Doesn't make sense... just to have a new take and give a new screenwriter a namesake even though Cole had been in a while?

^ Good question. *Edit: Maybe it's to introduce the audience to the idea death means nothing in MK or to foreshadow Quan & Shinny's abilities/involvement?

About the stylized 2 logo, I noticed even though it's not a dragon, like the MK logo,

it still has a tongue sticking out of closed narrow jaws.

Reptile was the most bad ass jobber in 1995's film. Don't know why they treated him like garbage this go-round.

Because they just HAD to make every battle end in a fatality.... which pissed me off because fatalities should be a "special" case and not the standard. It's like they went all OMGZ LETZ GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT! OVER THE TOP FATALITIES IN EVERY MATCH! YA YA YA! GREAT IDEA. BLOOD EVERYWHERE..... instead of just giving us a hardcore bloody battle a la "The Raid" and other good movies like it.

When I play MK, the ONLY time I do a fatality is when I beat an opponent I really hate and/or struggled against and they deserve it. Not against the average joe schmoe battle.

I'd rather they don't make another movie at all after that last one.
