While there haven’t been many Mortal Kombat 2 story details, the end of Mortal Kombat sets up further invasions by Shang Tsung (Chin Han) as he seeks to use his Outworld allies to prevent a fair Mortal Kombat tournament from happening.

Though the wait to find out who will be playing the iconic Johnny Cage is getting harder, it was confirmed in the very final shot of Mortal Kombat that the smart-talking Hollywood star will be in the sequel too. In more confirmed Mortal Kombat 2 updates, an actual Mortal Kombat tournament will be shown in a Mortal Kombat 2 movie, making up for its absence in the first movie.

It has been all but confirmed that Joe Taslim will return in Mortal Kombat 2 too, which was teased by Garner, but it might not be as Sub-Zero. Taslim will likely return as Noob Saibot, the shadow that the character turns into after being killed by Scorpion in the game lore.

It was previously reported that Taslim signed a five-movie deal with Warner Bros. so it’s hardly surprising that the character is returning in some capacity despite his death in the 2021 movie.
