Mortal Kombat II opens May 8, and the sequel teases the return of two previously dead characters, with filmmakers saying bringing them back was "too much fun." Creators are producing illustrations, short comics, animatics, cosplay, edits and AMVs that spotlight specific fighters and scenes. Much of the work centers on Johnny Cage's comeback, reimaginations of the Liu Kang versus Reptile fight, and new takes on Baraka. Watch parties and debates over the film's orchestral versus techno-leaning soundtrack are also circulating alongside nostalgia for original-era actors.
