MORTAL KOMBAT 2 Lands Adeline Rudolph For The Sequel’s ‘Kitana’
Casting continued on Tuesday with THR’s Borys Kit reporting on Resident Evil series actress Adeline Rudolph for Mortal Kombat 2. The news confirms that she will play Kitana, a staple in the franchise since first appearing in the original Midway game sequel. Production begins this summer with Simon McQuoid directing for Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line, from a script by Jeremy Slater. The report confirms that actor Karl Urban will be leading the cast in the role of Johnny Cage following news earlier this month. Per game lore, Kitana of Edenia is the adopted daughter of Outworld emperor Shao Kahn, and sister to Shang Tsung’s sinister creation, Mileena. Rudolph’s addition further signals a reunion with her Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina cohort, Tati Gabrielle, who will play Jade, a warrior with whom Kitana shares a lifelong friendship. The role of Kitana was previously coveted by Talisa Soto for the Paul […]
MORTAL KOMBAT 2: Tati Gabrielle To Play Jade In The Sequel
Tati Gabrielle (You, The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina) is reportedly in final negotiations to play Jade in Simon McQuoid’s Mortal Kombat sequel for New Line and Warner Bros. Pictures. The actress is the latest addition to the film following the casting of Dredd 3D and “The Boys” star Karl Urban in the role of beleaguered movie star, and franchise favorite, Johnny Cage. Jade was initially a hidden character in Midway’s release of the Mortal Kombat 2 fighting game. The character has since grown with the franchise’s evolution as an epic, storied IP with even more villains and heroes, more mystery, and invariably, even more bloody and brutal fatalities. According to game lore, for years Jade served as Outworld Emperor Shao Khan’s personal assassin, until joining childhood princess Kitana and defeating Kahn. Recent storylines also revealed events between Jade and Osh-tekk leader and former Outworld Emperor, Kotal Kahn – food for […]
MORTAL KOMBAT 2: Karl Urban In Negotiations As The Upcoming Sequel Finds Its Johnny Cage
Karl Urban is reportedly in talks to take the mantle for the role of Johnny Cage in director Simon McQuoid’s pending sequel to the Lewis Tan-led 2021 actioner, Mortal Kombat. Urban’s name marks the latest addition to the group of new and returning cast members to continue the story, with actor Joe Taslim already contracted for another installment following his debut as franchise character favorite, Lin Kuei ninja and Cryomancer Bi-Han, a.k.a. Sub-Zero. McQuoid will direct from a script by Marvel series Moon Knight scribe Jeremy Slater. Fan posts and blog updates around the web have been brewing with notes of a summer production start and rumors of potential casting choices for the sequel. Urban’s debut of Cage, a narcissistic Hollywood bad boy and martial arts movie star born with the fighting game franchise’s launch in 1992, is also the character’s newest successor on the screen following actor Linden Ashby […]
Simon McQuoid Will Direct MORTAL KOMBAT 2 For Warner Bros.
Simon McQuoid will return to direct the sequel to last year’s Mortal Kombat, according to Deadline on Wednesday. Jeremy Slater is penning the script as of January. McQuoid directed the first installment based on a script by Greg Russo, adaptating a new story based on the hit game created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. It returned many classic game characters to the screen, largely with the exception of Lewis Tan who headed the cast as an original character for the film. Warner Bros. Pictures released the film on HBO Max and in theaters where it became a box office hit alongside other theatrical titles including Demon Slayer The Movie: Mugen Train, and F9. Critical reviews, however, were hit or miss depending on whose pieces you take more to. Casting details haven’t been made official, save for actor Joe Taslim who informed fans last April that he’s contracted for at […]
