Mortal Kombat II opened in theaters this weekend. While I enjoyed the movie for its fight scenes, with brutal gorey moments. Along with the comedy of the film, it did not have a plot whatsoever. However, the film did leave the door open for a sequel with an actual plot.
So while we as fans wait for an official announcement. It's time to start thinking about some possible new additions to the next film. So here are 6 characters from the series, 3 villains and 3 heroes. I would like to see in the next film.
Ermac
Ermac debuted in the game series in 1995's Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. A villain in the game's lore he is a ninja comprised of various souls, mainly from Outworld warriors. The various souls give him powers such as teleportation and telekinesis.
With the way Mortal Kombat 2 ended, I could definitely see him appearing in the next film.
Nightwolf
Nightwolf the games only Native American character debuted in Mortal Kombat 3. He briefly appeared in 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation film. He is a shaman with powers such as enhanced strength. He is a master of various weapons and is one with the spirit world.
A perfect fighter for the next adventure in Mortal Kombat land.
Cyrax
Another character that debuted in Mortal Kombat 3. Cyrax is a cybernetic ninja, aligned with Shao Khan. In later retcons of the series history, he was a member of an African tribe. In which he was an assassian and protector of his tribe.
Despite being a cyborg he is quick footed and dangerous. Him vs Jax on the big screen would be possibly the fight of the third movie
Ashrah
Ashrah debuted in 2004's Mortal Kombat: Deception. Her storyline would add some good weight to whatever the plot of the third film maybe. Ashrah is a demon warrior, who one day comes upon a sword that cleanses her soul. Now on the side of good, she works alongside Raiden and company to protect the earth realm.
Just what the third film needs.
Onaga
In the MK world Onaga is thee Final Boss. He also made his series debut in Deception. Known as The Dragon King, he ruled outworld with an iron claw long before Shao Khan. Depending on the story he has been imprisoned for centuries, or was killed and mummified and bought back to life.
In any case, Depending on how we get there in a third movie. It's time our crew of heroes face off against this draconian figure.
Kurtis Stryker
While in Mortal Kombat 2 Johnny Cage was the stand in for the audience. The everyman unfamiliar with this new world he was thrown into. For the next film Kurtis Stryker would be the perfect option. A SWAT police officer who debuted in Mortal Kombat 3, he's more about tactics than superpowers.
He also is not afraid to use a weapon to gain the upper hand. And by weapons grenades, night sticks, lasers, even Pistols. Something slightly different than we've seen so far for the films in the series.
Depending on who would play him, and how much of a straight man he'd play. He could be the unofficial comic relief in the film.
