I thought at one point they were going to go for Deception for the next movie but that was back in 2006. Most of said characters were just cameos though. Honestly, the soundtrack was the only good thing about Annihilation. Both films had a good music composer.

Since this new one's supposedly a reboot, they may just play it safe and adapt MK1 again, but I hope for something more original/unexplored. The first film adapted MK1 well enough aside from the lack of characterization with the ninjas, but the fight scenes with them (especially Scorpion vs Cage) made up for it.
