Scorpion and Sub-Zero's Rivalry Will Be "Very Essential" to 'Mortal Kombat 2'
Ed Boon discusses Scorpion’s return, and teases what audiences can expect from the character's rivalry with Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat 2.
Mortal Kombat 2 is set to arrive in theaters in the fall, and with it will come the resumption of hostilities between two ancient warriors in Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Based on the popular video game franchise of the same name, 2021’s Mortal Kombat live-action reboot first introduced Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi, a warrior in feudal Japan who was killed by a rival clan member, Bi-Han (Sub-Zero). Both were of the Shirai Ryu clan. Bi-Han is embodied by Joe Taslim, and after Hanzo's death, he is transformed into Scorpion in the Netherrealm, where his vengeance is still kindled against Taslim's Sub-Zero.
