Get ready for another round of fatalities! A first look at Karl Urban as Johnny Cage in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 has been revealed.
Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon unveiled a poster featuring Urban, styled as a faux Johnny Cage film, complete with the over-the-top action one would expect from the character. The poster showcases two motorcycles dramatically leaping from flames – pure Cage!
Mortal Kombat 2 serves as a direct sequel to the 2021 reboot, starring Lewis Tan, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Joe Taslim. This sequel welcomes several new additions to the cast, including Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, Tati Gabrielle as Jade, and Damon Herriman as Quan Chi.
While plot details remain under wraps, the vast lore of the Mortal Kombat video game franchise offers a wealth of potential storylines for the sequel. The original film focused on Cole Young's introduction to the Mortal Kombat tournament and the enduring rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
Unlike its predecessor, which debuted on HBO Max due to the pandemic, Mortal Kombat 2 is slated for a theatrical release on October 24, 2025. The first film received a 7/10 rating in our review, praised for its "spectacular display of blood, guts, and effects-heavy martial arts battles."
