Warner Brothers just dropped a bombshell at New York Comic Con: the highly anticipated 'Mortal Kombat II' hasn't even hit the big screen, but they're already gearing up for 'Mortal Kombat III'! This announcement is a dream come true for fans of the iconic video game series.
The panel at Comic Con was a star-studded affair, with screenwriter Jeremy Slater revealing his involvement in the third installment alongside cast members Adeline Rudolph, Karl Urban, Martyn Ford, Simon McQuoid, and Tati Gabrielle. Slater's enthusiasm was contagious as he shared the studio's confidence in the franchise's success.
But here's where it gets exciting: the third movie is already in the early stages of development, even though the sequel hasn't premiered yet! This bold move showcases Warner Brothers' faith in the Mortal Kombat universe and its dedicated fanbase. And the best part? The sequel will expand the tournament action, bringing back beloved characters like Cole Young, Sonya Blade, and Liu Kang, while introducing new faces to the deadly combat.
