The Mortal Kombat trailer stars….
Karl Urban stars as Johnny Cage, alongside Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Damon Herriman, with Chin Han, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han, and Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi and Scorpion.
The Johnny Cage situation
Director Simon McQuoid returns to helm the follow up to his explosive 2021 cinematic adventure, from a screenplay by Jeremy Slater, based on the videogame created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. After the release of the first film back in 2021 McQuoid said the character Johnny Cage was not introduced in the film because Cage is a “giant personality” and would throw the film out of balance. He revealed that potential sequels could explore the material for characters like Cage and Kitana. He also expressed he would like to include more female characters.
Who wanted to play Johnny Cage?
Professional wrestler The Miz has openly expressed interest in the role of Johnny Cage and has even received the support of Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon. Martial artist actor Scott Adkins also showed interest in the role of Cage. Ryan Reynolds has been a fancast choice for Cage as well with Boon also endorsing him for the role. Both Alain Moussi and Tazito Garcia campaigned for the part as well.
The film was delayed from its original October 2025 release date to May 2026, to cash in on the summer movie season.
Mortal Kombat II is in cinemas on 8th May 2026
