Star of the recent “Shogun” Hiroyuki Sanada, shared some information with fans about his return as Scorpion in the new Mortal Kombat sequel. In an interview with Screen Rant, he spoke about his brief appearance in the first film and stated:
Yes, that's right, there wasn't much of him [in the first film]. First ten minutes, and then another ten minutes [laughs]. It all depends on the editing, but yes, I will be there [in the second film]. The reunion on set was great. Most of the cast from the first film was there, as well as four or five new characters. Same director, same costume designer. It was fun. We started filming on the Gold Coast in Australia right after the strike, and now we're done.
Production on the sequel wrapped earlier this year, but a release date is still unknown. “In Mortal Kombat 2” Much of the original cast will return, including Lewis Tan as Cole Young Jessica McNamee – as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson (Kano), Tadanobu Asano (Raiden), Mehcad Brooks (Jax) Ludy Lin (Liu Kang) Chin Han (Shang Tsung) Joe Taslim (Bi-Han and Sub-Zero) Hiroyuki Sanada (Hanzo Hasashi and Scorpio), and Max Huang as Kung Lao.

Not exactly good news, but quite expected. Sony delayed the film's releaseThe Karate Kid 2” until May 30, 2025. Let me remind you that the release was initially announced for June 7, 2024, when the cast had not even been confirmed, later they shifted it to December 13, 2024... now it’s already 2025.
Main role in the sequel to the original “The Karate Kid” went to Ben Vanu. His mentors are (presumably) played Jackie Chan и Ralph Macchio. Also, the film starred Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanleyand Ming-Na Wen.

Replenishment of the cast of “The Furious”
Recent news about an ambitious action movie “Furious" William Kuhn и Kenji Tanigaki got a little louder. To the already cool lineup (Jija Yanin, Joe Taslim, Xie Miao, Yayan Ruhian) another talented film fighter has joined - Brian Le.
