Warner Bros. has dropped the official trailer for “Mortal Kombat II,” and fans are calling it a nostalgic, adrenaline-packed return to form.
The film, slated for release on October 24 in theaters and IMAX, picks up where the previous installment left off, this time with a heavy focus on Johnny Cage, portrayed by Karl Urban, and new threats that test Earthrealm’s fiercest warriors.
What the Trailer Reveals
The preview opens with Johnny Cage learning he’s been “chosen” to fight in Mortal Kombat, a deadly tournament that decides the fate of the world.
At first disbelieving and cheeky, Cage quickly finds himself facing brutal battles alongside familiar fighters like Raiden, Baraka, and Scorpion.
The fan-favorite “Get over here!” call makes a thunderous return, while Raiden’s classic blue-and-white costume, Baraka’s bone daggers, and game-accurate arenas give longtime gamers plenty to cheer about.
The trailer also teases the arrival of Noob Saibot, confirming deep-cut references that thrilled fans in the comment section.
Urban, known for roles in The Boys and Doom, embraces Johnny Cage’s swagger and sarcastic charm.
Lines like “I’m just incredibly handsome” and a hilarious fight sequence show that the film won’t shy away from mixing violence with humor.

Within hours, the trailer climbed to #5 on YouTube Trending with over 5 million views and thousands of fan reactions. One viral comment summed it up: “How much fanservice do you want?
