Fans of Mortal Kombat won’t have to wait much longer to see what’s next. The first trailer for Mortal Kombat 2 is set to drop this month, according to producer Todd Garner.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Garner teased, “There will be blood before the end of the month,” strongly hinting at an imminent trailer release. When pressed by a fan for clarity, he reaffirmed that the trailer would indeed arrive in July.
This aligns with growing speculation that the trailer will premiere during San Diego Comic-Con, which runs from July 24–27 - a fitting venue for the franchise’s bloody return to the big screen.
The original Mortal Kombat film, released in 2021 simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max due to the pandemic, earned a modest box office but found success with at-home audiences. Despite criticism, especially for not featuring the iconic tournament, it was enough to greenlight a sequel.
Mortal Kombat 2 will introduce long-awaited fan favorites, including Johnny Cage, and is expected to deliver the tournament fans missed the first time around. It’s also said to be the second film in a planned trilogy, with the third installment focusing on post-tournament events.
After wrapping filming in early 2024, the production has been relatively quiet, but anticipation has remained high. With the success of other recent video game adaptations like The Last of Us and Fallout, expectations are even higher for Mortal Kombat 2 to deliver a faithful and action-packed sequel.
The movie is set to hit theaters on October 24, 2025.
