Mortal Kombat 2 writer Jeremy Slater has already confirmed one dead character will return in the threequel.
Spoilers for the Mortal Kombat 2 ending follow.
Kahn also disposes of another major character – Ludi Lin's Liu Kang. But as he perishes in flames, his fate is left decidedly open-ended. Those familiar with the games, of course, will be acutely aware of the character's re-emergence as the Fire God.
Yet, it appears the original vision for Liu Kang's death was something that was ultimately changed in the final version. Now, there's a little more wiggle room for Liu Kang to return as something other than a revenant – and maybe take his rightful place among Mortal Kombat's collection of deities.
"We did wind up altering his death a little bit to make it more of a choice," Slater revealed. "So we’re not sure if he actually died or did he ascend to some other plane? What actually happened to him in that moment is absolutely a mystery that’s going to be explored in Mortal Kombat 3."
