Mortal Kombat is a long-running and beloved video game franchise known for its bloody violence and wild fatalities. Following a pair of movies in the '90s, the property was once again adapted for film with a 2021 movie that was released for those with a HBO Max subscription. The movie was a streaming success, and Mortal Kombat's R-rating allowed for over the top bloody fights that felt accurate to the video games. And there are 5 Mortal Kombat fighters who need to appear in the R-rated sequel (besides Johnny Cage).
The end of Mortal Kombat teased the upcoming arrival of Johnny Cage, who is a fan favorite character that was noticeably missing from Simon McQuoid's first Mortal Kombat movie. While he seems like a guarantee to help make up Earthrealm's team in the titular tournament, there are countless questions about who else will be included in the developing blockbuster. After all, there are a ton of fighters who have been playable for fans of Mortal Kombat throughout the years. And below are other characters that I think need to pop up sooner rather than later.
