The Mortal Kombat II movie is postponed to a spring 2026 release


Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema are pushing back the sequels' release to May 2026, following some early positive signs.

Mortal Kombat II, the sequel to 2021's reboot of the video game adaptation, will be pushed back from its original October 24 release date to May 15, 2026. The delay goes against the trailer and promotional images that Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema already put out, but the studios may be banking on it as a way to maximize the sequel's potential success. The report added that a record-breaking red-band trailer that saw 106 million views in the first 24 hours and a strong performance in research screenings could have influenced the decision to reschedule.
