A new image from Mortal Kombat II has been shared online, offering a closer look at one of the sequel’s most exciting characters. The roster for the upcoming film packs a serious punch, with a mix of returning actors from 2021’s Mortal Kombat as well as several newcomers joining the fight. Adeline Rudolph is taking the mantle of Kitana, who is a mainstay of the bestselling video game franchise. Her next big screen outing is expected to be one of great significance, as she will reportedly have as big a role in the sequel as Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage – and it looks like he will be facing some major competition from the skilled assassin.
The latest image, which arrives courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, shows Kitana assuming a fighting stance with her arm outstretched and her signature weapon visible: a steel fan. She uses the bladed object as both a projectile weapon and for deadly melee attacks against her opponents. The close-up snap follows a previous photo (also shared in the gallery below) that showed a better look at her costume and her two razor-sharp fans, which feature a very intricate design. “They had to feel like they would cut your head off, but they needed to have a level of detail in them that made them feel handcrafted,” notes director Simon McQuoid.
