‘Mortal Kombat 2' trailer drops this month, says producer
Fans of Mortal Kombat won't have to wait much longer to see what's next. The first trailer for Mortal Kombat 2 is set to drop this month, according to producer Todd Garner. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Garner teased, 'There will be blood before the end of the month,' strongly hinting at an imminent trailer release. When pressed by a fan for clarity, he reaffirmed that the trailer would indeed arrive in July. This aligns with growing speculation that the trailer will premiere during San Diego Comic-Con, which runs from July 24–27 - a fitting venue for the franchise's bloody return to the big screen. The original Mortal Kombat film, released in 2021 simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max due to the pandemic, earned a modest box office but found success with at-home audiences. Despite criticism, especially for not featuring the iconic tournament, it was enough to greenlight a sequel. Mortal Kombat 2 will introduce long-awaited fan favorites, including Johnny Cage, and is expected to deliver the tournament fans missed the first time around. It's also said to be the second film in a planned trilogy, with the third installment focusing on post-tournament events. After wrapping filming in early 2024, the production has been relatively quiet, but anticipation has remained high. With the success of other recent video game adaptations like The Last of Us and Fallout, expectations are even higher for Mortal Kombat 2 to deliver a faithful and action-packed sequel. The movie is set to hit theaters on October 24, 2025.

‘Love Island USA' reportedly holds internal meetings amid Cierra Ortega backlash
Producers of Love Island USA Season 7 are reportedly holding urgent crisis meetings after resurfaced social media posts revealed contestant Cierra Ortega using an anti-Asian slur. According to a production insider who spoke to The US Sun, crew members were 'furious' over the incident and described Ortega's language as 'unacceptable". Internal discussions are underway, and disciplinary options, including her possible removal, are being seriously considered. The situation has drawn comparisons to the earlier dismissal of contestant Yulissa Escobar, who was removed after a similar controversy. Several crew members are reportedly pushing for a consistent response to avoid accusations of double standards. The post, believed to be from 2020, quickly spread across TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram, sparking widespread backlash.

Reports indicate she lost nearly 200,000 Instagram followers in just a few days.
