Mortal Kombat II: 3 HQ Images Tease Bi-Han, Scorpion, And More

Fan favorite characters Bi-Han, Scorpion, and more take center stage in three high-quality images from Mortal Kombat II.

It might not feel like it, considering the temperatures across most of the Northern Hemisphere, but the summer is coming to an end soon. The fall season is always a ton of fun in terms of movie releases. We get a healthy balance of Oscar bait, big-budget blockbusters that might be Oscar contenders too, and big-budget blockbusters that are just here for a good time. Mortal Kombat II is [probably] a member of the latter. The first film was a pandemic release, and even though it was early 2021, it managed to pull in just under $85 million at the worldwide box office. That does not include any new subscriptions Warner Bros. might have gained from the HBO Max release. While the film got pirated to hell, Warner Bros. officially greenlit a sequel in January 2022.

A late October release date is interesting in terms of a release date for Mortal Kombat II. It's opening opposite the Springsteen biopic with The Black Phone 2 and Good Fortune the week before, and Bugonia the week after. TRON: Ares is also an October release that, if it's good, could still have legs, and two weeks later, Predator: Badlands hits theaters, and if there is overlap between Mortal Kombat II and any of the releases around it, it's Predator. We are still learning about the movie; the teaser trailer was released a month ago, but the media site updated with three more high-quality images teasing fan favorite characters like B-Han, Liu Kang, Scorpion, and Kung Lao. That image with the arch looks ripped right from one of the games and kind of rules even without the context of the film.
