![]() ![]() "That being said, if the fans want another one, that’s not for us to decide that’s for the fans to decide. We’d never talk about it in any depth whatsoever because we feel like we have to put all our energy into this film. Simon previously banned any talk of a sequel on the set of the first film. ![]() McQuoid is a trained graphic designer who has worked in the video game industry on titles such as 'Call of Duty' and 'Halo 3'. The first 'Mortal Kombat' game was released in 1992 and spawned a hugely successful series. Jeremy Slater will be writing the screenplay for the sequel. Studio executives were quick to get a sequel in development and one of their first acts was to get McQuoid back on board as director. The flick was one of the first to gauge the interests of audiences as cinemas reopened following the pandemic and the results came as a surprise to many. Last year's 'Mortal Kombat' film topped the box office figures and ranks among the most popular films on the streaming service HBO Max. 'Mortal Kombat' is based on the popular video game and is a reboot for the film series after two movies were released during the 1990s. The Australian director made his debut behind the camera on the 2021 film and he'll be back for the follow-up. Meanwhile, it was previously revealed that Simon McQuoid is to return as director of the 'Mortal Kombat' sequel. 'Mortal Kombat 11' came out in 2019 and 'Injustice 2' in 2017. The two fighting games' co-creator was asked by a Twitter user over the weekend which game he anticipates being the next big release from the studio, and he had two possible answers. The Boys Season 4 currently doesn't have a release date but it will premiere after The Boys: Gen V hits Prime Video some time later this year.Ed Boon has teased that NetherRealm's next game will either be 'Injustice 3' or Mortal Kombat 12'. In the meantime, fans of Karl Urban can look forward to seeing him in action in Season 4 of The Boys, which has a hype-inducing finale. It's believed that Mortal Kombat 12 will be revealed in a few weeks but we haven't heard an official confirmation since. ![]() Discovery's CEO, David Zaslav, leaked earlier this year. NetherRealm Studios is currently working on Mortal Kombat 12, which Warner Bros. Karl Urban's time in The Boys, as well as the series, in general, might be coming to an end within the next two to three seasons. One of the most controversial video game franchises ever, Mortal Kombat celebrated 30 years in the gaming industry last year. However, the more hopeful Mortal Kombat fans would love to see at least a trailer later this year if only to tie in for the series' upcoming entry. ![]() Most likely, the movie is rounding up its cast so it can finally get the cameras rolling ahead of, hopefully, a 2024 release date. This makes sense considering that Urban's time as Billy Butcher in Amazon Prime Video's The Boys should be nearing its end.Ĭoincidentally, the news comes roughly a month before filming in Australia starts. But, if Urban is in it, it's going to be huge and likely long-term. Of course, the film adaptation has already taken creative liberties with the source material, so Cage might not necessarily play a prominent role. Not to mention, Cage has a long-term romantic relationship with Sonya Blade, who, in later entries, he marries and shares a child with, Cassie Cage. Johnny Cage has been in pretty much every major Mortal Kombat installment since the beginning.Īs previously mentioned, Cage is a prominent character in the franchise. It's unclear how big of a role Urban's Cage will have in Mortal Kombat 2 if he signs up for the role but it's unlikely to be a small cameo. Todd Garner later retweeted the news, somewhat proving the legitimacy of the claims. Discovery is in final talks to bring in Urban as Cage for the sequel to one of the more successful and recent live-action video game film adaptations. Karl Urban, who's perhaps best known among today's audiences as the actor behind Billy Butcher, the charming anti-hero leader of The Boys, is reportedly in the running to play Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 2.Īccording to The Wrap, Warner Bros. We're hoping Karl Urban's portrayal of Johnny Cage is a more obnoxious and self-centered version of his The Boys character, Billy Butcher. But, the recent announcement implies a spot-on choice. Unfortunately, Cage's popularity among fans makes casting him for the live-action sequel difficult. And, while the airheaded warrior has a tendency to annoy people around him, Cage is as reliable as they come. This is the best way to describe Johnny Cage. Obnoxious, self-centered, and immature, but also one of the bravest and most loyal characters in Mortal Kombat. ![]()
