The movie "Mortal Kombat 2", which was originally scheduled for release in October 2025, and then moved to May 15, 2026, will now be released a week earlier — May 8, 2026.
Warner Bros. has once again not commented on the postponement, leaving room for speculation.
Previously, Simon McQuoid spoke about the previous postponement, explaining that the film became a "victim of its own success" after its release in digital format. Despite modest box office receipts ($84 million), it was the success on streaming services that showed the need to increase the scale of the sequel.
"With each viewing [of the original], this [sequel] became bigger and bigger. In the end, we created a huge summer blockbuster, and we can be proud of that."
