So, Lewis Tan’s back as Cole Young in Mortal Kombat 2—and let me just say, it might be his final round in the arena. You know Mercury is in a chaotic tango with Mars right now, so maybe it’s the cosmos telling us: nobody’s safe. Tan spilled the tea in a chat with Comicbook.com, and spoiler alert—character deaths? Totally up for grabs. No sacred cows here, folks. Script versions have characters dropping like flies, and trust me, “Death is only the beginning” isn’t just a catchy line; it might hint at some wild time-bending action. Picture Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage meeting his younger, cockier self… I mean, who wouldn’t want to see that mess? With the dark reign of Shao Kahn looming, it’s a no-holds-barred, blood-soaked brawl to save Earthrealm, landing in theaters May 15, 2026. Ready to rage about your ultimate favorite fatalities or your most dreaded character deaths? The stage is set—let’s hear it. LEARN MORE
When Lewis Tan returns as Cole Young in the upcoming sequel Mortal Kombat 2, it could be for the last time. I say this because, while speaking with Comicbook.com, Tan told the outlet that no character death is off-limits when the new film pulls out all the stops.
“They should be worried for everyone, to be honest,” Tan said. “In different versions of the script, different people died. I was like, ‘No way.’ Then, they changed it and switched it. By the end of it, nobody is safe. Anybody could die… and there are a lot of fatalities in the second movie. If your favorite character dies, it’s not the end. Death is only the beginning. Don’t be too upset, but there are a lot of fatalities. Some people are going to be happy and some are going to be really p-ssed off.”
“Death is only the beginning,” eh? It could be that, like games in the series, Mortal Kombat 2 will introduce a time distortion mechanic as part of its narrative. After all, who wouldn’t want to see Karl Urban’s seasoned Johnny Cage interact with his younger, more brash self? I could be barking up the wrong tree, but we won’t know until the movie arrives in theaters on May 15, 2026.
Once again directed by Simon McQuoid, Mortal Kombat II will find the fan favourite champions—now joined by Johnny Cage himself—are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds-barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. Karl Urban stars as Johnny Cage, alongside Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Damon Herriman, with Chin Han, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han, and Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi and Scorpion.
