Two upcoming video game adaptations on the 2026 movies schedule are catering to the same kind of crowd, and yet there’s quite the divide among this group of moviegoers. First, Mortal Kombat II hits theaters in May, and then the Street Fighter reboot comes out in October. There’s always been a rivalry between the fans of these respective fighting game franchise, and now one of the Mortal Kombat II stars has playfully hit back against one of the Street Fighter actors who threw some shade at the sequel not too long ago.You may recall that the first Street Fighter trailer was presented at the Game Awards last December by some of the cast members, including Andrew Schulz, who’s playing Dan Hibiki. During the presentation, Schulz joked that the Mortal Kombat II cast didn’t come to the ceremony because “they don’t care” about the fans and “only care about money.” Lewis Tan, who plays Cole Young in the new Mortal Kombat movies, addressed this while speaking with Brandon Davis, saying the following when the interviewer brought the joke up:
Andrew Schulz is the last person that should be talking shit on that stage, you know what I’m saying? Obviously, not a fighter, not even really an actor. Well, yeah, we heard it.
