TheWrap spoke with director Simon McQuoid, who also helmed the 2021 version, about his intentions for the sequel, why studio notes aren’t always bad and what’s next for him (including whether or not it’s a third “Mortal Kombat” movie).
There’s so many great female characters in “Mortal Kombat.”
Also how do we get a greater sense of visual variety, which was appropriate for “Mortal Kombat,” it was an important part of the games’ DNA.
I wanted the movie wanted to feel bigger on an emotional level and also a purely visual, cinematic level.
“Mortal Kombat II” is out on digital and Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray right now.
