A new extended TV spot for Mortal Kombat II, which is eloquently named "Let's F'ckn Go," shows off the entire roster of heroes and villains that we're going to be seeing in this movie. Not only that, but it's also a highlight reel that shows off nearly all of their special abilities, too, so you know what everyone can do if you're unfamiliar with this property. The first Mortal Kombat was a rare pandemic hit and the first movie to do decently under Warner Bros. ' hybrid release schedule with HBO Max in 2021. For once, a studio seemed to really take the circumstances into consideration when looking at the box office, and while it has taken a hot minute for this sequel to get here, footage like this makes it apparent they are looking to make the fans very happy with round two of this franchise. They pulled it off once; now we get to see if they can pull it off again.
