Warner Bros. has announced when Mortal Kombat 2, the sequel to 2021’s Mortal Kombat film adaptation, will arrive in theaters and IMAX, and it’s coming next year. More specifically, Mortal Komat 2 will hit the silver screen on October 24, 2025, meaning we still have about one and a half years to go until we see what’s next for these characters.

The first Mortal Kombat movie in this rebooted film series hit theaters on April 23, 2021, and Game Informer had a great time with it – read our 8 out of 10 review to find out why here. Here’s hoping we enjoy the sequel just as much, if not more. 

Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid will return to direct Mortal Kombat 2, and it will be written by a new writer, Jeremy Slater (alongside McQuoid), who wrote Disney’s Moon Knight series. Alongside returning cast and characters, The Boys Karl Urban will join the fight as Johnny Cage.
