"There Are Huge Consequences": How Mortal Kombat 2 Incorporates The Tournament After Its First Movie Absence Explained By Franchise Creator
The tournament was not in the previous movie.
Franchise co-creator Ed Boon reveals how Mortal Kombat 2 plans to incorporate the franchise's iconic tournament between Earthrealm and Outworld, and how this raises the stakes for the plot. Following the critical and commercial failure of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, plans for another installment of the popular video game movie adaptation stagnated in development for years, before Simon McQuoid's Mortal Kombat reboot was released in 2021. The movie was a modest success, taking over $84 million against a budget of $55 million, and received mixed reviews, leading to the development of a sequel, Mortal Kombat 2.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Boon discussed how the upcoming movie will incorporate the iconic tournament between warriors from Earthrealm and Outworld, and the way the movie will symbolize this onscreen. He revealed that the score will be kept throughout the movie, and there will be a visual representation of this. Bonn went on to add that the tournament comes with real stakes that will shape the direction and conclusion of the movie, as well as the future of the franchise. Check out his comments below:
They keep score throughout the movie. There's a visual representation of who is winning.... It's not just a tournament for the sake of a tournament. There are huge consequences, so you really are keeping score. And there are a lot of twists in it that keep you on your toes.
The Tournament Will Be The Showpiece & The Movie Will Exemplify Its ImportanceThe tournament is considered the most iconic part of the Mortal Kombat franchise, and the decision not to include it in the first movie would have been deliberate on McQuoid's part. Instead, the first film's storyline is set prior to the tournament taking place, and the showpiece event is set to make up the bulk of the second film. There are plenty of Mortal Kombat 2 tournament fights that many will want to see in the upcoming story, with a chance that the entire tournament could span more than just the second movie.
The stakes are very real within the story, because if Earth's warriors lose a 10th consecutive tournament against Outworld, Shao Khan will take over the world, so things are going to get very tense for the heroes.
As Boon reveals, there are important stakes to the tournament, and it seems that the movie's visual representation of who is winning will serve as an audience reminder of this. Quite how this will work onscreen is unclear, but there is scope for experimentation and creative license, and the filmmakers will have a clear vision for how they want things to unfold. The stakes are very real within the story, because if Earth's warriors lose a 10th consecutive tournament against Outworld, Shao Khan will take over the world, so things are going to get very tense for the heroes.
The Iconic Event Should Elevate The Movie Above Its PredecessorThough it was fun and action-packed, with some great choreography, there were some things about Mortal Kombat that made no sense, especially as the movie was trying to lay the groundwork for the tournament. Mortal Kombat 2 has a chance to thrive based on that groundwork. The tournament taking center stage, the brutal fights, high stakes, and iconic status of the event within the franchise should make for thrilling viewing, and might even mean that Mortal Kombat 2 enjoys greater box office success than its predecessor.

Mortal Kombat 2 Director Simon McQuoid Writers Jeremy SlaterThe sequel to the Mortal Kombat 2021 film franchise reboot, Mortal Kombat 2, will follow the original cast and new faces as they prepare for the Mortal Kombat tournament. Cole Young and his allies will continue training and enlisting new warriors to prepare for the contest between Earthrealm and Outworld, which will determine the fate of humanity.
