TheMortal Kombatmovie release date was moved up, shaving off a few months before fans get to see the film. Now,Mortal Kombatis set to release on January 15th, 2021, instead of its initial release date in March 2021. It’s still quite a bit of a wait, though the change is a positive shift for anxious fans.

There is asecondMortal Kombatmovie in the works for later this year, though it’s an animated film following Scorpion. The animated art style should make it different enough from the live-action one to keep them distinct, while at the same time giving the creators some more freedom to play around with thanks to it being less grounded in reality.
There are quite a few things fanswant to see in theMortal Kombatmovie, though only time will tell if it meets expectations. Video game films haven’t been the greatest in the past, though fans can hope that the film lives up toMortal Kombat’spedigree. The original films weren’t exactly great, but that at least means it should be relatively easy to outdo them.
