Mortal Kombat 2 film poster reveals first look at Karl Urban's Johnny Cage
Mortal Kombat 2 poster shows Karl Urban as Johnny Cage; film expects 2025 release.

Mortal Kombat 2 has released a new film poster introducing Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, revealing him in iconic shades against an explosive backdrop, with the tagline 'Uncaged fury.' While the release date remains 'coming soon,' it is anticipated to be out in October, as previously reported.
This film sequel follows the 2021 Mortal Kombat which focused on a new character, Cole Young, and was described as 'boring' by Eurogamer. It will expand on the previous cast by adding Urban as Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Princess Kitana, joined by Tati Gabrielle as Jade.
Karl Urban, known for roles in Lord of the Rings and Star Trek, revitalizes the character inspired by Jean-Claude Van Damme, who voiced the character in the 2023 game. The addition of such iconic characters aims to enhance the film's appeal among fans, as the previous Mortal Kombat 1 game had a rocky start but improved through updates.
