Real Talking Time:

Warning: if you should go searching for any of these trailers relating to this franchise, please be warned that there are adult or/and graphic scenes throughout and there will be adult language references and censored adult language references in one way or another in this content.

My reaction: to be brutally honest this is why Street Fighter 2026 should be afraid, because even though they come out and very different times next year; this highly anticipated sequel sometime in May and Street Fighter 16/10/2026 as I have just referenced this sequel is highly anticipated and based on the trailer which was the one that went on for 150 seconds; it currently has a very strong and powerful idea of where it is going and what it wants to cover and providing the box office takings are positive there is more than likely going to be a sequel.

I should cover my back a little by saying based on here and now this is just an opinion and not fact, my opinion is based on in this trailer they are clearly open up the MK Universe so hypothetically it would be incredibly easy to come with a sequel in the future. In theory/opinion: I could be completely wrong, so this is just based on what I have seen from this trailer; they have multiple storyline narratives going on, but I will just pick out 2; the first clearly involving everyone's favourite B-list martial arts actor Johnny Cage [Karl Urban:] he fits this role perfectly, based on they are going with something a little different here and I mean this nicely to Urban; but an older version of Cage which both character and performer can simultaneously and naturally pull off this sarcastic comedy and things of this nature and then on the other end we have General Shao/Shao Kahn [Martyn Ford:] he is a mirthless tyrant of Outworld [before I continue I am not sure if they are going with this narrative here; I am pretty sure they will go with something like this, but you never know, but I digress;] he breaks the rules of Mortal Kombat and brings his forces to Earthrealm, Ford: I don't know too much about him even though looking at his list of films I have seen him around in other projects in small roles, I'm guessing this would be his first major role and he does look very much the part as he is the height of 6'8 and an ex-professional bodybuilder with no hair or shaved head and apparently weighs lb 350/25 stone: so as you can imagine he isn't a small man and everything else seems to be really on point.

So my prediction for this sequel is 9/10 or the full marks, the only thing stopping me from doing this is the dreaded label of it being a sequel, meaning I am quietly confident that this sequel will be top-notch entertainment, but more often than not sequels have a habit broadly speaking of not being as strong as the original instalment.
