MORTAL KOMBAT 2: Ed Boon "Leaks" First Look At Adeline Rudolph As Kitana

We're still waiting (and probably will be for a while longer) on a first look at some footage from Warner Bros./New Line's Mortal Kombat 2, but producer and co-creator of the iconic video game series, Ed Boon, has now taken to social media to share a teasing glimpse of one of the new characters who'll be debuting in the sequel, Kitana.

Her face is kept hidden, but we do get a look at the fan-favorite fighter's signature weapon and costume. Kitana will be played by Chilling Adventures of Sabrina actress Adeline Rudolph.

The Netflix series marked Rudolph's screen debut, but the Hong Kong-born model-turned-actress has also appeared in the CW’s Riverdale and Netflix’s Resident Evil series. She is also set to play the female lead in Millennium’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man.

Boon also revealed that he has seen an unfinished cut of the movie.

The first movie didn't exactly achieve a flawless victory at the box office, but it performed well enough - especially as one of the first major Covid-era releases with a day-and-date streaming debut - to warrant a sequel. Lewis Tan, who will return as Cole Young, has promised fans that the movie will feature the actual MK tournament this time.

The sequel will also see the debut of some other new heroes and villains from the long-running video game series. Karl Urban (Star Trek, The Boys) is on board as Johnny Cage, Martyn Ford (Red Sonja) will play villainous Outworld emperor Shao Kahn, Desmond Chiam (Joy Ride) will take on the role of Edenian King Jerrod, Ana Thu Nguyen (Suka) has been cast as Queen Sindel, and Damon Herriman (Once Upon a Time In Hollywood) will portray Netherrealm demon Quan Chi.

Pretty much all of the main characters - even the ones that were (seemingly) killed off - from the first movie will return, with Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han and Sub-Zero, and Max Huang as Kung Lao.

"Hunted by the fearsome warrior Sub-Zero, MMA fighter Cole Young finds sanctuary at the temple of Lord Raiden. Training with experienced fighters Liu Kang, Kung Lao and the rogue mercenary Kano, Cole prepares to stand with Earth's greatest champions to take on the enemies from Outworld in a high-stakes battle for the universe."

Simon McQuoid is back in the director's chair, this time working from a from Jeremy Slater. James Wan is producing alongside McQuoid, Todd Garner, Michael Clear, and E. Bennett Walsh.

The Mortal Kombat sequel hasn't been given an official release date.

I was never big into the games because I really sucked at them. But I enjoyed this movie. I really loved that one MK series that was on Youtube for a while, where Micheal Jai White played Jax. That was dope asf. But I'm actually looking forward to this. I do wish the Miz could have played Johnny tho.

@HammerLegFoot - I feel your pain. I suck at first person shooters and don't have the time or interest to learn at this point. My bro is a savant though. Then one day when I accidentally let my kid play high on life, I forgot what he said about it. I realized she had inherited it.

Also, don't let your kid play High on life.

@The1st - I let my 5 year old daughter play helldivers 2 for the first time the other day. Very memorable experience lmao

@HammerLegFoot - Mine's 8, but sometimes I'm protective, as much as you can be. Her mom is a horror lover so she saw the trailer for the new Alien movie and was just like cool. Guess I'm taking her lol.

@TheVisionary25 - I think they did a great job on the vibe of the film in terms of the gore, characters, and overall feeling. It was the writing and weak protagonist that dragged it down imo. Hopefully with the addition of Urban as Cage, we get something a little more solid on those fronts.

I'm absolutely looking forward to it though.

@RedFury - I can agree with that , especially Cole as a protagonist.

I’m interested to see Urban as Johnny , it’s out of the box casting but I can kinda see it also.

@The1st - yeah , I think they might be going for that angle

@TheVisionary25 - so out of the box! I think that's what has me most excited about it. Seeing the range Urban has, makes me think he's got a fun take on Cage for us.

First one was awful in my opinion. I hope they redeem themselves with the sequel. Because the first film was all over the place. Shang Tsung had the worst wig.

@SonOfAGif - It says something when the campy 90s version is still better. Kano was amazing though

@ItsNotForMeWahh - Yeah, I guess I'm old now, but the OG music just hits harder than the remix for me.

@The1st - Oh it 100% does, I first watched those movies when I was 5 so that music is just part of my upbringing at this point

This is a GREAT movie!

For masochists who hate themselves and want to do something less dangerous than cutting themselves.

I enjoyed the first one for the most part... could have been so much better though. Casting Lewis Tan - who just can't act, I'm sorry Lewis - in the lead was the biggest mistake. They should have just focused on the feud between Sub Zero and Scorpion and had the others as support.

@MarkCassidy - agreed. If they wanted a stand-in character for the audience, why didn't they just pick the very charismatic Johnny Cage?

And that Sub-Zero and Scorpion feud is indeed what they should focus on. They can drop the whole Special Forces angle imo.

@MarkCassidy - Hollywood may have a handle on cbms, but I don't think they've totally figured out fighting game movies yet. I'm cautiously optimistic for this and whatever happens with the Street Fighter movie.

@MarkCassidy - IMO I know the movie focused a lot on Scorpion & Sub Zero, but I would of preferred a movie only about that and not about an impending tournament that we won't really see. Also has potential to be a big movie since Scorpion is the face of MK.

I hated the first one but it was fun watching it with my brother cause it was so dumb. Looking forward to getting high and watching the sequel

Did not like the first movie. Some of the fights were cool but often fell short compared to the 95 movie fight scenes. Was always a stupid idea to make it a "fish out of water" story.

First one was cool to watch but not a very good movie.
