The success of Mortal Kombat following its theatrical release in 2021 meant that a sequel to the blockbuster was inevitable. Now fans will get to see Mortal Kombat II hit theaters later this year, and with its release fast approaching, the first trailer for the sequel has been officially released online.
After his absence in the first film of this new series, Mortal Kombat II will finally bring fan-favorite character Johnny Cage into the mix, with none other than The Boys and Dredd star Karl Urban portraying the character. Fans can get a taste of Urban as Johnny Cage in the trailer below, in addition to a wide variety of other characters that will be appearing in the sequel.
It’s definitely nice to finally see a full trailer for the film, especially with production having first started in 2023. It’s been a long time waiting, but if this trailer and the success of the 2021 film are enough of an indication, then Mortal Kombat II should certainly have all of the characters, violence, and humor that fans of the franchise expect to see in a big screen adaptation of this beloved brand.
