AmOctober 23, 2025Flying the fists again as soon as Mortal Kombat 2 starts in German cinemas. This time there should even be the title -giving tournament, which was still coming in the first film.
And a few fighters also enter the ring that fans also missed in the first part. For exampleJohnny Cage(Karl Urban),Kitana(Adeline Rudolph) and the great villainShao Kahn(Martyn Ford).
The three newcomers (and also Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion) have now been published by the first official pictures, which of course are already being discussed with fans of Mortal Kombat.

What fans think from the first pictures to MK2
For example, the look of Shao Kahn does not really agree.While some of the fans asbadass
andadequately threatening
Describe, the mask seems to be trying to do something on others and even cheap.
But now Karl Urban (The Boys) seems to get a little more love as Johnny Cage.The casting of the 52-year-old actor as a professional actor and fighter athlete was primarily criticized for urban age. Now, however, the opinion is spreading that this fits a removed version of Johnny, who has long been behind her best years and does not really want to admit it.
At one point, many fans of Mortal Kombat definitely agree:Cole Young (Lewis Tan) is not missing in the first pictures of the new film - although or precisely because it is the main character of part 1.
To date, many spectators with the figure, which was invented specially for the remake of Mortal Kombat, have not been able to make friends with Cole Young. (Fairly, new characters for the video games are always particularly suspicious.)
To this day, Cole Young has not been able to convince many fans- For example, he is accused that he remains too pale and boring as the central main character and in the truest sense of the wordPlot Armour
consists.
The aversion to the Cole Young is now noticeable in the corresponding discussions on Reddit. These commentators are likely to be pleased that his role in Mortal Kombat 2Reportsshould actually have been reduced:
No Cole Young in sight ... you know exactly how little it is liked
-Efficient-Ad2983[...] The first film was fun, but I hope that you will ship the main character to the replacement bank. Cole Young was simply not a well -made protagonist [...].
-riegspsych325I personally liked the first Mortal Kombat and I had no problem with Cole. But I still hope that he appears more as a supporting character and Johnny leaves the spotlight.
-Just_ReaLY_BAMWhat do you think: How high are the chances that Cole will be killed in the first scene to show how hot the situation is? (And also to get rid of him because nobody could suffer him.)

Mortal Kombat 2 starts on October 23, 2025 in German cinemas. The first film got little mercy from critics, but has a solid stood with many spectators and fans of the video games.
Mortal Kombat was able to record $ 185 million worldwide. That sounds disastrous with a budget of 55 million, but was still a decent result in the middle of the Corona pandemic.
