The writer on the MortalKombat movie sequel wants the story to be 'unpredictable!'
✖ Movies based on video games are having a bit of a renaissance at the moment, and Mortal Kombat is one of the strongest examples of that trend. The film found significant success when it released on HBO Max last year, with the service's most-watched opening weekend. A sequel was announced earlier this year, with Moon Knight's Jeremy Slater attached to write the script.
"It's really fun so far. We're about halfway through the script. I'm working really closely with the director and the studios, and the game guys, and I think—I can't say anything about the actual story, but I think they definitely learned some lessons the last time around in terms of, 'Here's the stuff fans responded to, and here's what people liked out of the movie, and here's the stuff that didn't work out as well as we hoped.
While Slater did not reveal any specific details about the sequel, the end of the first film saw Lewis Tan's Cole Young on a mission to recruit Johnny Cage. Cage was noticeably absent from the movie, despite playing a significant role in the 1995 Mortal Kombat film. Lewis Tan has also stated that he'd like to see Noob Saibot in the sequel. Sub-Zero died at the end of the 2021 film, but actor Joe Taslim has signed on for multiple films.
Following success stories like Mortal Kombat and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Hollywood seems to have found the formula for pleasing casual audiences, as well as long-time video game fans. Despite that success, there are a lot of ways that a Mortal Kombat sequel could improve on its predecessor. Hopefully, Mortal Kombat 2 will deliver on its promise!
