Which means we still have a long way to go before we can see it in theaters.
Movies based on video games have been frowned upon for some time, as they used to be simple products that only sought to sell at the expense of fandom, as is the case with games based on movies. Luckily, in recent years certain films have been released that have given us hope, which, although they are not masterpieces, did manage to deliver a quality standard that we do not usually see. We can give several examples, but among them probably the most interesting are the recent Super Mario movie, and the Mortal Kombat film that we were able to enjoy a few years ago.
From the beginning we knew that there was going to be a sequel to this very interesting fighting film, precisely because of its success and because at the end of it there was a detail that indicated it, but the wait is taking forever. Now, we have been able to find out, thanks to ComicBook, and from the hands of the producer of this sequel, Todd Garner, that filming would have started, although we already told you that this is something that has dropped on his Twitter account.
In the tweet that you will find below, they not only make it clear that they are going to start filming, with that “Off we go!”, but also comment that “have learned from mistakes and are committed to delivering the best MK2 possible“, so in that sense we can be calm.
Off we go! I’m thrilled to start & trust me, we’ve listened. We’ve learned from the mistakes & are committed to making the best MK2 possible. I, 100% support everyone’s right to their opinion, but I have the right not to be abused & will block you. So…let’s have an amazing ride!

Likewise, in this tweet he mentions he makes it clear that, probably due to the anticipation of the film, he is receiving many inappropriate comments.
I 100% support everyone’s right to have their opinion, but I have the right not to be abused.
A movie that could be more and better
The first movie already surprised us, but it wasn’t perfect at all. Therefore, after the words of Todd Garner, we believe that it is very possible to make a better film. In addition, in this film they will have more characters, How can it be Johnny Cagewhich we saw at the end of the original film.
Of course, we recommend patience, since if they are starting filming now, they still we will have to wait a long time until you see the final product.
