Sub-Zero was the first character cast for Mortal Kombat, with Joe Taslim pulled in to fill the black and blue armor. This is a huge deal for fans of the game, as it opened the door to an appearance from cult classic character Noob Saibot whose name is taken from spelling the last names of MK creators Ed Boon and John Tobias backwards.
Saibot, you may know, was once Bi-Han. It's just that that Sub-Zero got so deranged that he became the ultra-dark Saibot. And when Collider asked about the chances of Sub-Zero turning in the movie, the actor neither confirmed nor denied. Simply, he spelled out that it's very likely, saying "So Noob Saibot is Bi-Han after what happened to him, it's not a secret.
Quan Chi took the humanity inside of Bi-Han and turned him into Noob Saibot, just totally dark, night. And we both know from that story [and] history of Bi-Han — you know, it's a basic Google search, not a secret — he has humanity inside of him, and when he's Noob Saibot, he's just totally dark, pitch black.
Warner Bros' reboot of Mortal Kombat may be getting a sequel - or a whole franchise - and interest in the details of what comes next will be at a peak following Simon McQuoid's take on the iconic combat universe.
Already, there's a strong set-up for more in the Mortal Kombat movie universe, and Mortal Kombat 2 would bring in at least one missing figure who was controversially overlooked for the first chapter. The reboot of Mortal Kombat became the third live-action movie in the beloved franchise, fixing many of the issues of the original - which has nonetheless become a cult classic - and the more problematic Annihilation sequel from It delivers on the promised R-rating, sticking to a mostly faithful adaptation model that brings iconic characters to life as well as expanding to the lore with the introduction of new mysterious character Cole Young, whose identity inspired lots of speculation ahead of the movie's release.
With his story now set in place and the lore of the world established, what can come next is expansion into stranger worlds and more of a set-up for the universe-spanning tournament at the heart of this universe's lore.
So is a sequel happening? There's certainly potential in the lore of Mortal Kombat to not only expand to one sequel but multiple - not to mention spin-offs, so if it doesn't, it won't be for a lack of source material. And luckily for fans of the franchise and Simon McQuoid's movie , there are hints that there will be more.
