He is joined by Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Tati Gabrielle as Jade, and Lewis Tan as Cole Young. The sinister forces of Outworld are represented by Damon Herriman as Quan Chi, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han (the original Sub-Zero), and Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi and Scorpion.
Director Simon McQuoid returns to helm this explosive follow-up to his 2021 cinematic adventure, working from a screenplay by Jeremy Slater. The film is based on the beloved video game created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. Production is helmed by Todd Garner, James Wan, Toby Emmerich, E. Bennett Walsh, and McQuoid, with executive production by Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Slater, and Lawrence Kasanoff. The creative team also includes director of photography Stephen F. Windon, production designer Yohei Taneda, editor Stuart Levy, and costume designer Cappi Ireland, with casting by Rich Delia and music by Benjamin Wallfisch.
Mortal Kombat 2 promises to deliver the authentic, R-rated intensity and spectacular martial arts action that fans demand, pushing the boundaries of the cinematic universe with its focus on the tournament’s ultimate consequences. Mortal Kombat 2 is scheduled for theatrical release in North America on October 24, 2025, with international previews commencing on October 22.
