MORTAL KOMBAT 2 BTS Photo May Be Teasing Sub-Zero's Return As Tournament Shifts To Outworld

A newly revealed behind-the-scenes photo from Mortal Kombat 2 has led to speculation about the action shifting to Outworld, while many believe it's also teasing the resurrection of Bi-Han/Sub-Zero...

Producer Todd Garner continues to reveal behind-the-scenes photos from the set of Mortal Kombat 2, and this time teases what looks to be one of the latest tournament's many new stages we're going to see the fights play out on. 

Speculation is running rampant that this could be Outworld, particularly as a number of characters from that ream are set to take centre stage in the Mortal Kombat follow-up. The lighting adds some weight to those theories, though we can't currently identify who that lone figure is. 

As we first mention on SFFGazette.com, it may be a safe bet to assume that's Shao Khan's reconstructed Temple/Cathedral from Mortal Kombat 3 and 9 or one of Quan Chi's fortresses located in Outworld and the Netherrealm (we may even be looking at the resurrected Bi-Han/Sub-Zero standing there). 

All signs point to Mortal Kombat 2 being quite a bit grander in scope than its divisive predecessor and those involved with the movie have promised a sequel which improves on the first instalment's failings. 

The movie stars Lewis Tan as Cole Young, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Mehcad Brooks as Jackson "Jax" Briggs, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Joe Taslim as Noob Saibot, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn, Desmond Chiam as King Jerrod, Ana Thu Nguyen as Queen Sindel, and Damon Herriman as Quan Chi.

New cast additions include Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, Tati Gabrielle as Jade, and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana.

Moon Knight Head Writer Jeremy Slater has penned the screenplay, while Simon McQuoid is back in the director's chair. According to a brief logline, "The sequel continues the story of a group of ragtag  fighters, versed in the ways of martial arts, who  defend our reality which is known in Earthrealm against the Outworld."

Mortal Kombat 2 still doesn't have a confirmed release date.

I got some enjoyment out of the first one but still hope this an improvement over that.

The new cast additions have me intrigued , especially Karl Urban as Johnny Cage…

Certainly wouldn’t have been my choice but I could see it to an extent.

@TheVisionary25 - Is it just me, or does that picture look more like Tom Welling than Karl Urban?

@dragon316 - I have to subscribe to his channel everything he mentioned is so true.Now a days you got people judging from the time the movie gets green lighted to cast to director to pre-production to filming to post.Its insane and you know most of these people making outlandish comments before a teaser trailer has even come out are just people that never got a hug or attention as a kid.

@SirDuckAlot - I liked the first 10 minutes then yeah it was OK,it was more like two teams, one team of heroes and one team villains against each other.

It needed to be a tournament.

@marvel72 - Agreed 100%

I also think the “tattoo = superpower” thing was so contrived especially how Kano ends up with heat vision instead of his prosthesis.

@SirDuckAlot - Nowhere as bad as the originals yea let's do a reboot to a reboot wtf is wrong with people not saying you have to like it but this is why Hollywood is in the state it is.

Obviously Bi-Han returns. He becomes Noob Saibot and his brother Kuai Liang takes on the mantle of Sub-Zero

I Want Kuai Liang as Sub-Zero and Bi-han as Noob-Saibot. Actually I don't care about Bi-Han, they could use him just to setup the 3rd film (because they will make a lot of setups, this 2nd movie has more hype than the first) I want to see my boy Kuai Liang cleaning the Lin Kuei's name.

First one was entertaining but honestly pretty bad. Especially the fight in the temple

Should have stuck with Kevin Tancharoen

The first season of Mortal Kombat Legacy nailed the characters they used (wonder if they will ever release the completed season 3)

I was pretty excited for the first. Hated it. Going to take more than Karl Urban to get me excited for the sequel. I have enjoyed the animated movies though. Hope they keep making those.

The first film was passable but they really need to beef up the stories and get better at casting.

As long as there's an actual tournament it will be better than the first movie.

Can't believe they're continuing from the first film. Was horrible.

Lewis Tan was bloody awful, dude cannot act to save his life. Karl Urban seems to only have been cast as Johnny so they can rely on his fandom hold/image to draw people in, even though he doesn't fit the character at all.

Seeing Karl do martial arts and the Van Damme splits will be either awesome or hilarious. 🤷‍♂️
