Mortal Kombat Co-Creator Ed Boon Suggests He Has Seen Sequel

As a longtime fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming sequel! The recent developments, such as Todd Garner and Ed Boon’s cryptic exchange, have sent waves of anticipation through the community. The prospect of finally seeing a tournament in this movie has been a dream since the first film was announced, so to hear that it’s not just a promise but an expectation is truly heartening.


The action movie slated for release in 2025, which serves as a sequel to the 2021 video game adaptation, has received an unexpected lift by its producer Todd Garner and co-creator Ed Boon. A recent social media post by Boon hints that the film is already completed and poised to leave audiences astonished when it hits the big screen next year.

On X/Twitter, Garner privately messaged Boon to ask if he’d caught any interesting films recently. In reply, Boon posted a picture showing him at a cinema, hinting at watching something connected to MK2. Although Boon didn’t provide specific details about the movie he watched, his post seems to indicate that it was the final edit of the film, as shooting for it concluded in January.

Although it’s still a bit premature for any footage to be available yet, interactions between Garner and Boon tend to precede an official announcement or trailer launch. Unsurprisingly, fans of the 2021 film are excited and eagerly awaiting the new and returning cast members’ contributions to the sequel and the intense tournament it promises.

In the upcoming Mortal Kombat sequel, fans are eagerly anticipating something missing from the 2021 film – a full-blown tournament. Fortunately, it seems that this element has been emphasized repeatedly during the early stages of production for the next installment in the series. Lately, actor Mechad Brooks, who portrays Jax, has given a tantalizing clue about the scale of the sequel. Previously, he hinted:

In this movie, you’ll witness an abundance of Jax’s character, his wit, his convictions, and some truly spectacular fight scenes. The film boasts a total of 27 battles, and considerable effort was put into ensuring their excellence.

As a die-hard movie enthusiast, hearing the latest news about Mortal Kombat 2 receiving an R-rating definitely stirred up excitement within me. While the wait for its theater release is still quite long, the anticipation has only grown stronger with no signs of slowing down. From what I’ve seen so far, it appears that the film will deliver on all fronts when it hits theaters next October.
