Mortal Kombat

I'll be blunt, the answer is no. The character never shows up in the sequel, although Shao Kahn (Martyn Ford) does a pretty good job filling in as chief antagonist. As the Mortal Kombat tournament kicks off, Shao Kahn assembles a team that includes himself, his adopted daughter Kitana (Adeline Rudolph), her bodyguard Jade (Tati Gabrielle), Kitana's zombified mother (Ana Thu Nguyen), and a zombified Kung Lao (Max Huang). Surely, there was room in the group for a Shokan, even if Goro himself wasn't available. And to be fair, he definitely wasn't because of what happened in Mortal Kombat (2021).

Sure, anything's possible, but the ending of Mortal Kombat 2 might provide a glimmer of hope. The movie concludes with our surviving heroes capturing Shao Kahn's sorcerer and forcing him to resurrect several of their friends. That presumably means characters that died in this movie, like Liu Kang (Ludi Lin) and Cole Young, but maybe they'll also choose to bring back Goro at the same time. (Or maybe Goro will somehow hitch a ride with Cole.) Unlikely, sure? Impossible, never. Mortal Kombat 2 is in theaters now.

One thing that was accurate, however, is that Cole dies in a fight against Shao Kahn... and his death is nasty. Just as early audiences said, he gets his face bashed in with Shao Kahn's hammer. You

After a combination of a Mortal Kombat tournament storyline and trying to stop Shao Khan from becoming a god and ruling Earthrealm, Mortal Kombat 2 culminates in an epic showdown between Kitana and Shao Khan. Having previously been one of Outworld’s representatives, Kitana switches allegiances and becomes Earth’s lone remaining fighter. As you might expect, Kitana prevails and Shao Khan meets a gruesome end at the hands of Kitana’s deadly fans. Kitana is only able to beat Shao Khan because Johnny Cage and Kano were successful in the Netherrealm, where they destroy the amulet that Noob Sabot/Bi
