Even if a sequel happened with better gameplay that we get from Netherrealm now, a number of MK aspects would still have to be compromised for the other head honchos to agree on it being made, and thus we'd still get more PG-13 kind of fatalities and such that the first one had. No matter how good or better a sequel could potentially be, the stink of the first one wouldn't fade from people's minds. Hell, the first one got so much flak and angry rants & reactions when it was merely announced with the first trailer; they know it'd be suicide to go through with another.

Maybe something interesting could come from animated movie spinoffs of like Batman and Sub-Zero or somesuch, but as a crossover game the two universes mix like oil and water.
