Big screen movie sequel Mortal Kombat II is headed our way this Halloween season, and Warner Bros. has unleashed the official trailer this afternoon. Give it a watch below!
Mortal Kombat II marks the arrival of Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage into the rebooted movie franchise, and the character takes center stage in this first official trailer. The new trailer also makes it clear that the sequel will actually depict the titular tournament this time around, and it looks much more like a video game come to life than the first movie did back in 2021.
That being said, I’m still not entirely sold on the approach of this particular big screen universe. A lot of what’s on display here looks much the same as the aforementioned 2021 movie, but Urban’s presence should help elevate the material and at least give us a character worth rooting for. Watch the trailer and let us know your own thoughts in the comments below.
Simon McQuoid returns to the director’s seat for Mortal Kombat II, which will feature a screenplay by Jeremy Slater (“The Exorcist,” “Moon Knight”). It hits theaters October 24.
Mortal Kombat II is rated “R” for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language.”
From New Line Cinema comes the latest high-stakes installment in the blockbuster video game franchise in all its brutal glory, Mortal Kombat II.
