Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon has explained how the sequel movie felt "immediately more authentic" than the 2021 film. Boon is an executive producer on the upcoming video game adaptation and said that he and his team were involved from the scripting stages.
"For this film in particular it was great," he explained to IGN. "We really got involved with the script from the very beginning, which characters are going to be there, their relationships, their behavior and all that stuff."
