Get ready for an exciting announcement, Mortal Kombat fans! The fight continues, and it's bigger than ever!
At the New York Comic Con, the team behind the highly anticipated 'Mortal Kombat II' dropped a bombshell: they're already working on 'Mortal Kombat III'! Jeremy Slater, the screenwriter, took to the stage alongside the cast and crew, including Adeline Rudolph, Karl Urban, and more, to reveal this thrilling news.
Slater expressed the enthusiasm of New Line and Warner Bros., stating, "They're convinced there's a massive fanbase eagerly awaiting the next installment." And they're right! The first film's success during the pandemic proves it.
But here's where it gets controversial... Should we really be rushing into a third film before the second has even hit theaters? Some fans might argue that it's too soon, but with the incredible cast and crew returning, and new additions like Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, the potential for an epic sequel is undeniable.
The original 'Mortal Kombat' films, based on the iconic video game series, have captivated audiences with their intense tournaments pitting Earthrealm heroes against Outworld villains. From Cole Young to Sonya Blade, and the mighty Scorpion, these characters have become fan favorites.
And this is the part most people miss... The success of the first film during the pandemic wasn't just about the story or the characters. It was about the timing. With theaters reopening and the world slowly returning to normal, the timing for 'Mortal Kombat II' and its potential sequel couldn't be better.
While we don't have many details about the plot of 'Mortal Kombat III' yet, the promise of more martial arts fantasy and the return of our favorite characters is enough to keep us on the edge of our seats.
So, what do you think, Mortal Kombat enthusiasts? Are you excited for the third installment? Or do you think it's too soon? Let's discuss in the comments and share your thoughts on this exciting development!
