Mortal Kombat II, making an appearance at New York Comic Con this weekend, makes a lot of sense, or it did before the release date change from October 2025 to May 2026. This panel would have been the final push before the film was released in two weeks. Instead, it's just some marketing and a panel for a movie that is seven months away. The good news, for fans at least, is that the delay doesn't appear to be related to reshoots or anything like that. It sounds like Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema think they have a winner, and they want to give it the best opportunity to thrive. It sounds like the panel went over pretty well with the fans who attended, and we got a new poster out of it with a sick-looking logo featuring a ton of weapons from all of the characters.. We also got a new behind-the-scenes featurette talking about how they are doing every aspect of this film bigger than the last one, and that includes being shot on IMAX.
