Get ready for more 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 movie poster, complete with the over-the-top action one would expect from the character. The poster cleverly promotes the real Mortal Kombat 2 film.

This sequel directly follows the 2021 reboot, starring Lewis Tan, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Joe Taslim. Joining the cast alongside Urban are 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 first film focused on Cole Young's introduction to the Mortal Kombat tournament and the rivalry between Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

Initially planned for a theatrical release, the first Mortal Kombat film premiered on HBO Max due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Mortal Kombat 2 is set for a theatrical debut on October 24, 2025.

Our review of the first film awarded it a 7 out of 10, praising its "spectacular display of blood, guts, and effects-heavy martial arts battles."
