Over the years, there have been a number of great video games worthy of on-screen adaptations. However, for the most part, the adaptation of video games has been avoided as they've historically ended up as box office disappointments. That is until recently when HBO's The Last of Us and The Super Mario Bros. Movie helped to change that perception. One adaptation, however, that predates this shining light era for hit video game adaptations was 2021's Mortal Kombat.
Starring Lewis Tan as one of its chief protagonists, the film was able to capture the essence of the game's legacy. A sequel was certainly going to be on the cards and reports of casting news kept on circulating, strong enough to hint at production getting on the way. Now, it would seem that filming on Mortal Kombat 2 has begun according to producer Todd Garner. The announcement was made by Garner in a post via Twitter where the producer highlighted that lessons had been learned from the 2021 film while making a commitment to improve the viewing experience of Mortal Kombat 2. Garner's post reads:
