After winning the hearts of fans in 2021, the Mortal Kombat franchise is bringing on the Mortal Kombat 2 movie. Although it’s still unclear when the film will actually be released, the production and filming of this movie are currently halted due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. But the excitement level of the fans doesn’t seem to be bothered by these strikes.

Recently, one fan shared a concept poster of the highly anticipated movie, entirely made by him. Now, the interesting part is that the awesomeness of the poster has attracted the attention of the Co-Creator of Mortal Kombat.

This awesome level of creativity didn’t go beyond the eyes of Ed Boon, the Creative Director of Mortal Kombat 1. Boon has shared this “amazing” MK2 poster made by ETERNATES on Twitter.

As of now, since July 2023, all the work on this movie has been paused due to ongoing strikes. If the strikes are resolved before the end of 2023 or toward the start of 2024, the movie should finish filming in 2024, which leaves 2025 open as a realistic release date. But that will all depend on how much of a knock-on effect the strikes have had on Mortal Kombat 2’s production.

Mortal Kombat Fans Are Ecstatic

Seeing this brilliant display of talent, Mortal Kombat fans are really overjoyed. Here are some fan reactions:
