Mortal Kombat 2 brings some classic figures to the big screen for the first time. Check out the cast list for the movie Mortal Kombat.
No one was surprised when the 2021 movie Mortal Kombat got a sequel. As a result, a new group of unique, violent, grotesque, and cruel fighters has joined the fight. Since a lot of new figures have been confirmed for the future, you can expect a lot of new lore and stories to be based on them.
Fans are glad that not only have these new characters been introduced, but also the actors who will play them. From bodybuilders to MCU stars, here are all the characters that will be in Mortal Kombat 2 and the people who will play them for the first time.
Shao Kahn
Shao Kahn, the ultimate final boss, will be back in Mortal Kombat 2 as a live-action character. Even though nothing is certain, it seems likely that the emperor will be the main bad guy in the movie. The Emperor of Outworld is known for being cruel and angry, so no one knows how much damage he will cause when he arrives.
Martyn Ford will play Shao Kahn. He is a skilled bodybuilder and actor who was just in F9. Ford looks and acts like Shao Kahn, so it will be interesting to see how authoritative and evil he can be in real life.
Queen Sindel
Queen Sindel is married to Shao Kahn and used to be married to King Jerrod. She is a screaming force who often looks both good and bad. In the MK mythos, the loud, bossy woman is a fierce fighter and a very important ruler. Her short rule in Outworld set the stage for a lot of characters, like Kitana, Jade, and Mileena.
It’s not clear if the movie will take a more traditional, sensitive approach or a mean and manipulative one like Mortal Kombat 11. What is known is that Ana Thu Nguyen, who is Vietnamese and lives in Australia, will play Sindel.
King Jerrod
The real father of Kitana, the old King Jerrod, was killed by Shao Kahn, who took his place on the throne. Fans often forget about Jerrod because he has never been an available character. But Jerrod’s presence makes characters like Shao Kahn and Sindel more interesting, and his arrival is important to the story of Mortal Kombat.
In MK 2, Jerrod, a sad and kind figure in a dark and violent world, will make his movie debut. Desmond Chiam will play him. Chiam is known for playing a bad guy in Marvel’s Falcon and the Winter Soldier series.
Kitana
Kitana is a regular in the Mortal Kombat series and one of the most famous female characters. Even though her sister Mileena was in the first movie, Kitana will be in the second one for the first time. Kitana is usually a big part of the main story, so it is likely that the movie will do the same and make her a major character.
The addition of Edenian and Outworld rulers seems to show a glimpse of Mortal Kombat 2‘s possible plot, which has to do with Outworld’s rule and the fall of the Edenian Kingdom. Adeline Rudolph will play Princess Kitana during this battle.
Jade
Jade has done many things in her life, like being an assassin, a bodyguard, a spy, and the voice of reason. But the most important thing is that she is Princess Kitana’s wise and watchful best friend. Jade has always been a fascinating MK figure because she has never wavered in her sense of duty or courage.
Tati Gabrielle will play Jade. She became well-known for her role in the TV show You. But you can probably guess what Jade’s job is—probably as Kitana’s bodyguard and Shao Kahn’s top assassin. The last MK movie had a lot of big changes to the characters, so who knows what surprises are in Snake Game.
Johnny Cage
Everyone’s favorite smart-mouthed, cocky, emerald-glow, nut-cracking movie star is finally coming back to the MK movies. Since the first MK movie was announced, fans have been yelling for Johnny Cage to show up, but Cole Young had been cast in Cage’s place.
Cage is coming, which is good news, but fans aren’t sure what to expect. Karl Urban will play Johnny, and even though he is a great actress, people aren’t sure how he’ll fit in as Cage. The only way to know how this will turn out is to wait.
Quan Chi
In Mortal Kombat 2, Damon Herriman, who is known for playing bad guys like Charles Manson in Mindhunter and Charles Manson in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, will finally play the evil and clever demon sorcerer.
Quan Chi has often found a way to sneak into the main story of many Mortal Kombat games, usually by making other fighters’ lives miserable. It will be interesting to see how he fits into the plot of the movie. He might even replace Shao Kahn and Sindel as the heroes’ main enemy.
