In what easily feels like the most inexcusable delay for a big scale Hollywood flick like Mortal Kombat 2, the film’s protracted date to this May from its previous October stamp was a little more than frustrating, I’ll say…
To this, Warner Bros. has been marketing the reschedule as the result of a greater aim following the mid-pandemic success of the first film in 2021. So, needless to say, their eye is now on the ball for a hopefully bigger box office return than earlier thought.
As such, the newest official trailer is getting the rousing online display fans hoped for since its announcement for Wednesday. The red band trailer for the new sequel, directed once again by Simon McQuoid, scored record numbers last year so the bar is pretty high at that.
From New Line Cinema comes the latest high-stakes installment in the blockbuster video game franchise in all its brutal glory, Mortal Kombat II. This time, the fan favorite champions—now joined by Johnny Cage himself—are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.
