Why Fans Think the Mortal Kombat 2 Trailer Is Real

Yahoo19-03-2025
A seemingly new Mortal Kombat 2 trailer has dropped online, sparking fan speculation about whether the footage from the upcoming film seemingly featuring Karl Urban is real or fake. Originally confirmed in 2022, the film is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on October 24, 2025, four years after the first film premiered in 2021. The sequel will expand the movie universe that is based on the popular fighting video game franchise. It will introduce new fighters like Johnny Cage and Kitana to the fray.
So is the Mortal Kombat 2 footage with Karl Urban's Johnny Cage real or fake? When is the official trailer coming out? Here is all you need to know.
The Mortal Kombat 2 trailer with Karl Urban is fake.
KH Studio, a channel known to post concept trailers, has uploaded the clip. As of this writing, the video has garnered 2k likes and 451.9 million views.
You can check out the fake footage below:
The footage predominantly uses clips from the first Mortal Kombat movie while various AI-generated shots and footage of Karl Urban from The Boys are sprinkled in between. This fake trailer presents a story of Earthrealm's fighters rising up once again for a new tournament.
Accompanying the footage are various AI-generated voices, which also include a synthetic imitation of Karl Urban's voice. Although the above footage is fake, fans could be speculating about its authenticity, given that new photos from the film were recently released.
It is currently unknown when the Mortal Kombat 2 trailer will drop.
However, the recent release of the set photos could mean that the first trailer or teaser is right around the corner and might premiere at CinemaCon, which will be held from March 31. Alternatively, the first trailer could also drop at San Diego Comic Con later this year.

'The Boys' Use Perfect Homelander GIF in Response to Breast Milk Ice Cream

As the hit series The Boys is set to bid farewell to fans in its fifth and final season, longtime viewers are hoping to be treated to a memorable finale from one of television's most unique shows. But one thing we learned on Wednesday, Aug. 6, is that The Boys social media team is already locked in for the homestretch. When Dexerto dropped the news that popular parents/kids brand Frida had unveiled a new breast milk ice cream, many fans of the Amazon Prime Video series surely thought about supervillain Homelander, played by Antony Starr. However, The Boys social team made sure that if you didn't, you definitely are now. 'The Boys' Drops Perfect Homelander-Focused Response to New Breast Milk Ice Cream For those who don't know (if you watch the show, you know), Homelander has an interesting obsession with drinking breast milk. It continues to pop back up at various points over the show's first four seasons. The off-the-wall, head-scratching fact about Homelander aligns with the other chaos The Boys has provided since its inception. This is why The Boys' response to the post on X, featuring just a photo of Homelander doing a side-eye glance, had fans in a frenzy. The comments proved that fans of the show, which first debuted in July 2019, understood the reference immediately. Fan Responses Flooded in After 'The Boys' Responded to Frida's Breast Milk Ice Cream There was no shortage of unique and hilarious replies from fans to the popular television show's X account. Their response raked in roughly 175,000 likes in half a day, and it's still trucking along. Along with responses of crying laughing emojis, jokes and fans tagging people who'd appreciate it, some used GIFs, while others even took to Photoshop. "Vought about to make Frida an offer they can't refuse," said one fan. "Whoever was on that marketing team that posted this deserves a raise," said a fan praising the show's social team. "This is so on point. Best not let Homelander see this," joked another. "SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!" added another with crying laughing emojis. "I shouldn't have laughed this hard lol," admitted another response. It's safe to assume that fans of The Boys would throw support behind the argument that this quote tweet was among the most perfect and on-point social media responses of 2025. Latest on the Release Date of 'The Boys' Season 5 While filming for the final season of The Boys wrapped in July, no official release date has been set. However, the rumors and latest chatter point to Season 5 returning to Amazon Prime Video in the second half of 2026. Forbes recently laid out the breakdown of time between the end of filming and the premiere of Season 4, which was 14 months. While that doesn't necessarily mean it'll play out that way, if it's around that same timeline, that would result in the show's return in Sept. 2026. As fans await the news of an official release date, the good news is that the popular spin-off show, Gen V, is returning for Season 2 on Sept. 17.'The Boys' Use Perfect Homelander GIF in Response to Breast Milk Ice Cream first appeared on Men's Journal on Aug 6, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword

The ‘Mortal Kombat II' Team Worked Hard to Do Noob Saibot Right

You don't make a sequel to Mortal Kombat without a few key things. One is bringing in a ton of characters that weren't in the first movie. And two, make sure those characters are as recognizable from the games as possible. Director Simon McQuoid has done both of those things with Mortal Kombat II, in theaters October 24, and he recently pulled the curtain back on one fan-favorite character in particular. Noob Saibot, named after the creators of the original game, Ed Boon and John Tobias, has been part of the Mortal Kombat franchise since the second game. He's got a rich history and is often portrayed as the shadowy reincarnation of Bi-Han, the first Sub-Zero. Bi-Han was killed in the first film and, as teased in the film's trailer, has been resurrected in one form or another as Noob Saibot. But Noob isn't a normal fighter. He's got new powers to replace Sub-Zero's icy moves, including a shadow clone version that can fight alongside him, and figuring out how to bring those things to the screen practically was of paramount importance to McQuoid. 'To translate his distinctive 'shadow wraith' look onto film, we drew most of our inspiration from the recent version of the game,' McQuaid told Collider. 'Cappi [Ireland, costume designer] had the brilliant idea of creating unique materials and finishes that would reflect the light while always being true to Bi-Han's singular idea of being a shadow. His body was made of low-gloss textured black rubber under-skin, while his armor was organic in style and featured a dark grey pearlescent reflective finish. The shadow clone within him is a different character, so we needed a different costume and color, but they shared materials, ensuring his unique look was clearly separated from his shadow clone while always being born from the same character.' The director also said that, even beyond making the shadowy figure look as real as possible, one other piece was exceedingly difficult. 'The most challenging aspect of his design was his long-sided hat, which can defy physics in the game but can't in reality,' McQuaid said. 'Cappi and her team spent a lot of time creating a design that hung elegantly but also looked awesome at the same time.' From the little we see in the first trailer, it's clear that those intentions were achieved. And that Scorpion makes quick work of the shadow clone. Thankfully, we won't have to wait much longer to see what happens beyond that. Mortal Kombat II opens on October 4. Want more io9 news?

Keanu Reeves Replaces Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in AI-Made PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 6 Trailer — GeekTyrant

A new AI-generated trailer from KH Studio is making the rounds online, imagining what Pirates of the Caribbean 6 would look like with Keanu Reeves stepping into the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. The teaser has gone viral across social media, with viewers fascinated by how it transforms Reeves into the beloved Disney pirate once portrayed by Johnny Depp. The trailer dials up the swashbuckling action and dramatic flair. The whole thing is silly fun and clearly fake, so I'm always surprised when there are people who actually think this stuff is real!
