The Mortal Kombat 2 movie officially has a logo thanks to Ludi Lin, who today posted an image of a clapperboard over on his Instagram account.
The broccoli loving Chinese-Canadian actor portrayed Earthrealm’s hero Liu Kang in the first film, which was released in 2021 during the height of the pandemic. Production on the film’s sequel is well and truly underway on Australia’s Gold Coast, with producer Todd Garner and actor Martyn Ford also sharing a flurry of images in recent days.
New additions to the crew include CJ. Bloomfield (Baraka), Martyn Ford (Shao Kahn), Desmond Chiam (King Jerrod), Ana Thu Nguyen (Sindel), Damon Herriman (Quan Chi) and Karl Urban (Johnny Cage). Despite Kano’s death in the first film Josh Lawson is set to reprise his role, along with Lewis Tan (Cole Young), Jessica McNamee (Sonya Blade), Mehcad Brooks (Jax), Ludi Lin (Liu Kang), Max Huang (Kung Lao), Chin Han (Shang Tsung), Joe Taslim (Sub-Zero), Hiroyuki Sanada (Scorpion) and Tadanobu Asano (Raiden).
2021’s reboot proved to be a huge success despite the pandemic, grossing over $84 million worldwide and breaking streaming records for HBO Max. No doubt fans from around the globe are keen to sink their teeth into some genuine cinematic popcorn this time around when it eventually hits theatres globally.
