Lewis Tan just gave Mortal Kombat fans a sigh of relief as the long-gestating production on the sequel has finally wrapped.
Tan took to his social media accounts this past week to give a glimpse at the Mortal Kombat 2 wrap party, which spills the details that principal photography has completed. After a delay in shooting during last year’s strikes, it was a gruelling process with stops, starts, and international travels, but we can now breathe easy with post-production beginning soon.

Simon McQuoid will helm the new film based on a screenplay by Moon Knight’s Jeremy Slater. Little is known about the film’s plot, but it will look to introduce even more iconic MK characters. With the expanded cast and teases in the first outing, could we actually see the tournament this time?
