@DaGreatLotie that's what I'm saying lol. I was stoked as hell when he busted out the fatality with the hat spinning in the ground 🤣🤣. Then they turn around and stab him in the heart and take him out lmao
I have absolutely no faith in this. After creating a character like Cole with ALL the characters in Mortal Kombat and think we'd be cool wit it was completely asinine and deserves no trust
I don’t mind Cole Young that much. It’s like how Milla Jovovich was in Resident Evil, a created character to give the audience a POV of the world. I hear the story centers on Kitana and Johnny Cage so I’m excited.
I really hope they don't crossover more DC characters, there's already so much going on with the lore of MK and so many characters, they don't need to add more.
This should’ve been individual character films leading up to a collaborative movie being the Mortal Kombat tournament. I see that they’re making sure that they’re keeping the R rating and the bloody finishing moves. Those are the least of my worries. lol
Fight Scenes were great in the first one. Level those up even more with a more cohesive storyline and the sequel will be great. Excited to see Tati Gabrielle as Jade. I got a feeling she's gonna be one of my faves. If we're talking spin offs for streaming, they can totally make a limited series about the Black Dragon Clan, maybe a limited series about Shang Tsung's rise to power. So many characters, so little time. But for the love of God, PLEASE dont bring any characters from outside the lore. Keep that in the video games.
Mortal Kombat 2 is one of my most highly-anticipated movies of 2025, as I have been waiting years for all of the exciting set ups from 2021's Mortal Kombat to be paid off. There are all kinds of elements that need to appear in Mortal Kombat 2, with an actual occurrence of the titular tournament being a big one. While the most exciting part of Mortal Kombat 2 for me is the new characters, such as Karl Urban's Johnny Cage, the film also needs to focus on some characters that have already been introduced, such as this Mortal Kombat villain.
Lol as opposed to the completely logical way one gets fireballs or laser eyes. The game never specified any other way to my knowledge. The 90s movies didn't even try. I liked it.
Josh Lawson's Kano has to come back. He carried the whole movie on his back. Urban is too old to play Cage & so is Hiroyuki as Scorpion, the Lui Kang actor couldn't act. No faith in the sequel
I don’t understand Cole young?!?! He was absolutely not the right choice for the main protagonist. There’s simply too many amazing characters to be that protagonist rather than a completely new and unknown character. The movie was good but that was more thanks to sub zero. Joe taslim was such an amazing sub zero and I’ve never seen subzero so incredibly scary and threatening he was that movies star character and the fact he’s back as noob saibot is just so exciting
It’s already deviated from the source material too much. Why can’t they just do it properly? 😭 Goro is dead so he won’t be the final boss of the tournament if they ever have one. For some reason Scorpion seems to be the main character with his great grandson. I always said the best way to do Mortal Kombat would be as a TV show with a format similar to Lost. Have the main story going on which would be the tournament and then take one character per episode and dedicate half of that episode to a flashback showing how they got to the tournament and how some of their backstories intertwine. And you could have the finale be Shang Tsung’s backstory which is the origin of the tournament and introduce other characters like Shao Kahn in that flashback that can set up season 2.
First off ludi was not a good cast for lui kang. Secondly the first movie suffered from short fight scenes with underwhelming choreography. They need also need to write a better plot for our characters, Cole young and Raiden were two of the biggest let downs. The movie was better than annihilation but I am scratching my head thinking about how they couldn’t out perform the 1995 MK movie.
Man, one can only hope. They promised a lot in the last one and delivered very poorly. Please just,please get rid of Cole Young, a character that wasn't needed at all in this movie.
The foundations set from the first movie have completely killed any interest for me regarding a sequel. Multiple main characters killed before the first tournament even starts utterly destroying any chance of their stories working out. Idiotic power explanations (magical robot arms). Awful and boring original characters. I wish they'd scrap this garbage and start again with a competent writer/director.
I agree. Like how tf do you kill off GORO the champion of the tournament in 2minutes from an unknown character smh. Just one of many idiotic decisions in the first one. Definitely should of rebooted this and start from scratch
The director wants to keep the story/movie close to the games. B.S. then who the F is Cole Young. Clearly thought about himself rather than the fans with that character. If he isnt taken out completely then STILL you HAVE NOT listened to the fans and done just what you want. But then say you thought of the fans to cover up your lies. Off Cole Young then we will ALL be happy MK Fans
I hope they retire Cole Young, they don’t have to kill him off but have him hidden from the Villains to live his life in peace with his family, they know he is Hanzo’s decedent so they can can a story Arch where Scorpion takes his place in the tournament so he can live a normal life, Cole was a boring and a character that wasn’t needed at all, felt like his story arch held back the movie, no disrespect to the actor but the story didn’t line up good with him and his powers sucked
Mortal kombat 2 is becoming a must watch for fans? That's what they said about the first one which the fans HATED. Dont lie about a movie just so people can go watch and then leave disappointed like the first one. End Cole Young Completely then the fans will be happy. 99% of fans HATED coke young now if you dont end him then you CLEARLY DID NOT LISTEN to the fans and clearly just did what you wanted and DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE FANS
Terrible movie. Only good thing was scorpion and Kane. They should of just did with the actual cast. No one gives a crap about Cole. Why is he the main character and not Liu Kang? Can’t wait to not see this.
What are your theories for Mortal Kombat 2?
The most exciting thing they could do for me would be to give cole the same role Johnny got in mk annihilation
If yuh knoe yuh know
Murdah
That was the best role since that actor got to go home early and didn’t have to experience the rest of that 💩show 😂
😂😂😂
💯I hope they kill off that character he was awful
Everything we know: Cole must be finished in the first scene
Cole young should be completely removed from the movie.
🤣
Look I need them to bring back Kung Lao because I was pissed
Agreed, I really like Kung Lao and hated that he died
I hope so, he's one of my favorite MK characters
Kung lao is my main dude. I was pissed af they killed him off lol
@growapairandstopwhining6645 bruh same!!! Hell the little bit of time he had in the movie was the best part of the same movie
@DaGreatLotie that's what I'm saying lol. I was stoked as hell when he busted out the fatality with the hat spinning in the ground 🤣🤣. Then they turn around and stab him in the heart and take him out lmao
1:12 ... HELL YEAH! Please, less Cole Young... A LOT LESS!!!
100% less would be a good starting point.
Sub-Zero Mythologies movie with Joe Taslim will go hard asf!!
I have absolutely no faith in this. After creating a character like Cole with ALL the characters in Mortal Kombat and think we'd be cool wit it was completely asinine and deserves no trust
Cole young was supposed to a create a character type? Yet pissed us all off
Get rid of the Original Character who's special ability is getting his ass kicked, for one.
Ikr!!! And somehow, said character kills Goro??? Wtf ever bro lol get that chump out of here
I just hope sub-zero and scorpions masks actually fit this time (if they come back)
I don’t mind Cole Young that much. It’s like how Milla Jovovich was in Resident Evil, a created character to give the audience a POV of the world. I hear the story centers on Kitana and Johnny Cage so I’m excited.
I just want Liu Kang as the main character
Karl urban as johnny cage 20yrs ago would have been fun. He's 52
So what? Johnny of _Mortal Kombat X / 11_ is also quite experienced.
With him being in his mid-40s / early 50s at least.
I'm looking forward to it... Scorpion can do no wrong. I've had a crush on Hiroyuki Sanada since the Wolverine movie.
Who thinks cole gets the shao treatment from the 2nd movie annihilation
I really hope they don't crossover more DC characters, there's already so much going on with the lore of MK and so many characters, they don't need to add more.
Remember this movie came out during the pandemic and gave us something, we should all support this movie
I just want the fight scenes to have more wide shots and not so many quick cuts, like the did in the first one. I like to actually see the fights
When you brought up a "DC superhero crossover" I was like, no.. please don't, I don't want to see anymore "HeRoIC bRuTaLiTieS" lmao
Cole was such a boring character
Hoping sub zero and scorpion become friends in this one
Perform a friendship or become actual friends?
@ScreenRant the characters become actual allies i know it's the quai Liang version of sub zero regardless i hope we get that story line in the games
😂😂😂😂
well that will happen, but like WAY later. I hoping they set the foundation that leads up to raidens betrayal to liu kang.
This should’ve been individual character films leading up to a collaborative movie being the Mortal Kombat tournament.
I see that they’re making sure that they’re keeping the R rating and the bloody finishing moves. Those are the least of my worries. lol
Or if they didn’t want to do films make them into series and drop it on MAX 🤷🏽♂️
Fight Scenes were great in the first one. Level those up even more with a more cohesive storyline and the sequel will be great. Excited to see Tati Gabrielle as Jade. I got a feeling she's gonna be one of my faves.
If we're talking spin offs for streaming, they can totally make a limited series about the Black Dragon Clan, maybe a limited series about Shang Tsung's rise to power. So many characters, so little time. But for the love of God, PLEASE dont bring any characters from outside the lore. Keep that in the video games.
Shao Khan,Quan Chi and Kitana have also been confirmed for this movie.

If this could work out to have DC Characters cameo in these movies for brutal fight scenes. 6 words. Shut up and take my money!
Who else just wants to see this film just because of noob and shao
We need a proper '95 DOOM movie.
Really excited for this movie 🔥
I want to see an actual tournament
Just fix Raidans eyes PLEASE 👀
They fucked up with Jade🤦
By "Everything" you mean "Nothing". We don't even have a TRAILER to judge the movie from.
5:04 Also... _what "unfinished footage"?_
Last movie wasn’t even about a tournament lol
After enjoying mk (2021) I hope they don’t ruin it. I still can’t believe I actually enjoyed it in a non ironic way 😅
I’m gonna watch, but my expectations aren’t high
Butcher is Johnny 😭
Get rid of the Cole character
What I do hate about the movie is the fact that how they got their powers.. It was completely nonsensical.
Lol as opposed to the completely logical way one gets fireballs or laser eyes.
The game never specified any other way to my knowledge. The 90s movies didn't even try. I liked it.
The Shaolin monks know robotics!!😂
The removal of earth realm tech was a MASSIVE mistake
Josh Lawson's Kano has to come back. He carried the whole movie on his back. Urban is too old to play Cage & so is Hiroyuki as Scorpion, the Lui Kang actor couldn't act. No faith in the sequel
Im very curious with how urban will be. Hopefully people dont say hes corny
they are NOT having superheroes fight mortal kombat characters in a movie
I don’t understand Cole young?!?! He was absolutely not the right choice for the main protagonist. There’s simply too many amazing characters to be that protagonist rather than a completely new and unknown character. The movie was good but that was more thanks to sub zero. Joe taslim was such an amazing sub zero and I’ve never seen subzero so incredibly scary and threatening he was that movies star character and the fact he’s back as noob saibot is just so exciting
How about they sit this one out and REALLY give it some time to come up with new Koncepts and things you can do
Cole is a weird character. Why did they have him in the first place
Ghost face would be so cool
They’re never gonna put guest characters in a live action MK movie.
@aryelrosa4829 thought of it tho is so dope
PRODUCTION WRAPPED IN AUGUST 2024! THEY HAD RESHOOTS!
It’s already deviated from the source material too much. Why can’t they just do it properly? 😭 Goro is dead so he won’t be the final boss of the tournament if they ever have one.

Wym true to the game? Last time I checked, Cole Young was in the movie, not thy game.
This guy sounds like Doug Polk
Mortal Kombat vs Smash Bros crossover
Cannot see that happening.
I think I’m good…
The news is good but Cole young should be removed.
They were like we tried something new the fans hated it let's go back 😂
Not a single MK1 clip used smart move

Yooo
DCU take a back seat
Get over here
Toasty!

If he isnt taken out completely then STILL you HAVE NOT listened to the fans and done just what you want. But then say you thought of the fans to cover up your lies. Off Cole Young then we will ALL be happy MK Fans
Tired of the FAKE TRAILERS! Will most likely see a TRAILER in August 2025!
Karl Urban is too OLD to be Johnny Cage. A younger actor should have been given that role.
Wirfortis music
The first one was so awesomely horrible. Just get rid of Cole please
I hope they retire Cole Young, they don’t have to kill him off but have him hidden from the Villains to live his life in peace with his family, they know he is Hanzo’s decedent so they can can a story Arch where Scorpion takes his place in the tournament so he can live a normal life, Cole was a boring and a character that wasn’t needed at all, felt like his story arch held back the movie, no disrespect to the actor but the story didn’t line up good with him and his powers sucked

Man the fight scenes sucked compared to the original movies.
Wish they stop bullshiting and show some real trailer
Sequel? First movie was shite ..
Terrible movie. Only good thing was scorpion and Kane. They should of just did with the actual cast. No one gives a crap about Cole. Why is he the main character and not Liu Kang? Can’t wait to not see this.
it shouldn't exist
Another garbage mk movie
No Cole
JUST DONT SHOW ANY FATALITIES IN THE TRAILER PLZ!!!!!!
Just 1...the second shittiest one...the one thats still cool but have the mind blowing crowd cheerer be under wraps
Liu Kang should not be the focal point. It should be johnny cage. Kang has zero personality
Euw it has a nose ring... just cant help themselves huh always gotta crowbar one of em in
Who?
She's insufferable
