‘Mortal Kombat 3’ Could Happen, Says Producer Promising More Fighters and Fatalities & Possible Spinoffs

Is Mortal Kombat 3 on the way? Producer Todd Garner says hopefully , but it all depends on how well Mortal Kombat 2 does.

The first Mortal Kombat movie made a decent $84.4 million worldwide, especially since it came out right as the pandemic started. But fans had complaints. Many didn’t like how the story focused on Cole Young, and some felt the fight scenes were too hidden in the editing. Plus, it didn’t even show the famous Mortal Kombat tournament.

Todd Garner, who produces the movies, listened to all the feedback. Because of that, Mortal Kombat 2 was carefully planned and tested to make it more exciting for fans. According to reports, test audiences reacted like it was a big blockbuster event, and the trailer broke records.

Still, a third movie isn’t guaranteed. Garner told FutureBoyWho2 that they’re hoping this isn’t the last one. He said, “Now, realize, we’re hoping that this is not the end of the franchise. So, this is not like we’re just doing this movie and this is going to be it, hopefully.”

He also shared some plans for the future. Characters like Scorpion and Bi-Han (who becomes Noob Saibot in Mortal Kombat 2) will keep evolving. Garner promised fans waiting for Kano’s metal eye plate won’t be disappointed. “That will happen,” he said.

Garner added that if the new movie does well, there could be spinoffs and more sequels. He said they want to bring in new characters and develop the ones fans already love.

There’s a huge selection of fighters to choose from, with 25 games full of wild stories. Garner wants to give fans “all those fatalities” and more classic fight arenas if they get to make a third movie or spinoffs.

“However this movie is received by the public in mass, we’ll make adjustments and we’ll take that feedback… that’s what’s great about this. We can interact with each other and we’re listening and we’re gonna take that feedback in… so that it’s enjoyable for everybody,” Garner explained.

One character fans should look out for in a future movie is Rain. He was actually in the first script for the first film but had to be cut due to costs. Garner said, “We have an incredible fight sequence with Rain that we all want to do.” So, don’t expect him in Mortal Kombat 2—at least not yet.

Mortal Kombat 2 hits theaters on October 24, 2025. Until then, fans can revisit the original movie and get ready for what’s next.
