Mortal Kombat 2 MPA Rating Promises Gory Fighting Game Movie Sequel

The official Mortal Kombat 2 MPA rating for New Line Cinema‘s upcoming action fantasy sequel has finally been revealed. The film is currently slated to arrive in theaters on October 4, 2025, after four years since the first installment’s theatrical release.

What is the Mortal Kombat 2 MPA rating?

Just like the 2021 movie, the Motion Pictures Association has also granted Mortal Kombat 2 an R-rating for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language,” promising another gory and brutal adaptation of the hit video game series. The sequel is directed by Australian filmmaker Simon McQuoid from a screenplay written by Moon Knight head writer Jeremy Slater. Further details about the next installment’s plot and characters are still being kept under wraps. It is produced by James Wan, Michael Clear, Todd Garner, and E. Bennet Walsh.

Mortal Kombat 2 will feature the return of Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Lewis Tan as Cole Young, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han and Sub-Zero, Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi and Scorpion, and Max Huang as Kung Lao. Joining them are a number of new characters in the form of Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, Tati Gabrielle as Jade, Martyn Ford as emperor Shao Kahn, Damon Herriman as Netherrealm demon Quan Chi, Desmond Chiam as Edenian King Jerrod, and Ana Thu Nguyen as Queen Sindel.
