Schulz Sparks Feud: Street Fighter vs MK2

A humorous jab from Andrew Schulz at the Game Awards has sparked a playful rivalry between the upcoming "Street Fighter" and "Mortal Kombat 2" films. Schulz, promoting "Street Fighter," joked that the "Mortal Kombat 2" cast was absent because they "only care about money," contrasting them with his film's fan-centric approach. This lighthearted comment was met with groans from the audience.

"Mortal Kombat 2" producer Todd Garner seemingly responded to Schulz's remarks via X, posting "I don't climb over others to get ahead." Garner later expressed hope for both films' success, assuring a fan that "Mortal Kombat 2" hype would eventually match "Street Fighter's."

The two highly anticipated adaptations are set for staggered releases in 2026, with "Mortal Kombat 2" scheduled for May 8 and "Street Fighter" on October 16, thus avoiding a direct box office showdown. However, the friendly competition among fans and filmmakers is already underway.
