The inspiration behind this video:

The upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 will include many things that the first movie didn't feature, despite its success among critics and general audiences. With filming done for Mortal Kombat 2, it won't be long before the sequel to the 2021 live-action adaptation demonstrates to audiences and critics that it learned from the first movie's mistakes. Although there are limited plot details surrounding the upcoming sequel, some Mortal Kombat 2 theories could expand the franchise in interesting ways, even if just theories. However, with new characters and locations debuting in, some of the theories might eventually be proven true.

Furthermore, some of the set photo teases from the production already confirm why Mortal Kombat 2 will be better than Mortal Kombat, which further raises the anticipation. Based on the '90s arcade game of the same name, Mortal Kombat 2 will continue the story of original character, Cole Young, as it sees him interact with and fight new characters. By referencing the source material and unique innovations regarding the handling of the already well-established lore, Mortal Kombat 2 is already proving how it will be different from Mortal Kombat in three major ways.
