Everyone's Saying This About Karl Urban in Mortal Kombat 2 Movie
Fans react to Karl Urban in Mortal Kombat 2
A new teaser for Mortal Kombat 2 dropped online. Titled 'Uncaged Fury,' the footage is an in-universe trailer for the film starring fan-favorite character Johnny Cage, an action film star and martial artist.
Fans have since taken to social media to share their reactions to the footage.
On YouTube, under the comments section of the teaser, fans were quick to compare Urban's performance to other action stars and their movies. One fan commented, 'The Scott Adkins we never got.'
Another commented on Reddit that they 'love' how the teaser satirizes '80s/90s action films' to show off the character.
Another fan on Reddit stated that Mortal Kombat II has 'nailed the 'washed up actor' vibe' that Johnny Cage has.
However, on X (formerly known as Twitter), one fan disapproved of Urban's casting as Cage and claimed he is 'too old for Johnny Cage.'
Another commenter somewhat echoed this sentiment on Reddit in response to the comment about Cage's 'washed up actor vibe,' saying this could potentially make Urban's age work in favor of the role.
Check out the video below:
In the video, Cage encounters a group of goons at a warehouse and says, 'It's Showtime,' before proceeding to fight them.
Cage performs some choreographed moves to ward off the thugs attacking him, and dodging knives with backflips. As Cage continues fighting, the teaser narrator states that the thugs 'pissed him off' and 'f—– with his shades.' The narrator further notes that the thugs who attacked Cage should have brought 'more guys' if they wanted a chance at winning.
Cage turns to face a woman, who fires a rocket at him. He jumps above the rocket, which exits the warehouse and flies onto a helicopter, causing it to explode. The footage ends as Cage takes off his shades to pose.
Mortal Kombat II hits theaters on October 24, 2025. Besides Urban, the film stars Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Adeline Rudolph, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Desmond Chiam.

Millennial Pink Is Making a Manicure Comeback—Here Are 11 Cute Designs to Try
This creamy pastel hue is a tour de force. While millennials have made some questionable choices over the years (hello concealer lips and officewear-meets-clubbing attire), there have been more than a few knockouts. Avocado toast is here to stay, craft coffee remains a godsend, and millennial pink is just as flattering and versatile as it's ever been.

Simple Millenial Pink Mani Millennial pink is basically a neutral, right? This minimalist mani is *chef's kiss*—just look at that perfect shade of pink!

Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner Didn't Send Justin the Dress Code Memo
It was a a star-studded evening in West Hollywood, where Justin Bieber celebrated the recent launch of his new album, Swag. In attendance, of course, was his wife Hailey Bieber and their close friend Kendall Jenner—both aligning on a dual dress code for the evening. Justin, meanwhile, stuck to his own color-popping aesthetic. The Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner schools of style follow a similar lexicon on most occasions—think '90s-esque but elevated basics, sleek tailoring, and luxe details (usually that means a bag from The Row or some itty-bitty sunglasses). Whether they're together on the slopes in Aspen wrapping up in vintage faux furs or hitting up Sushi Park for girls night in their shared closet staples, Bieber and Jenner keep 'quiet luxury' as their baseline with little sartorial twists here and there. Yesterday evening proving no different. Hailey was photographed in a sculpted black tank top with a low back, tailored black pants, and a small black boxy bag. The Rhode founder donned some small black oval sunglasses, and a pair of apple green, barely there sandals with red detailing on the toe post. Next to her, Justin followed his usual acidic L.A. boy vibe, wearing a rolled up white beanie hat, pale pink goggle sunglasses, a candy pink hoodie from his streetwear brand SKYLRK, gray wash jean shorts, with customizable SKYLRK slides in neon yellow and ecru, paired with slime green socks. If you can see a teeny bit of sartorial continuation between the couple with their green-toned footwear, I'm with you. It's love.

Rap icon Rappin' 4Tay uplifts youth while battling cancer
West Coast hip-hop icon Rappin' 4Tay, known for his smooth delivery and contributions to '90s classics like "Playaz Club" and Tupac Shakur's "Only God Can Judge Me," is using his voice for more than music these days. Speaking recently at Vertical Skills Outreach in Oakland, a boxing program, the San Francisco-born artist shared his mission to inspire and mentor young people across the Bay Area. "I've been through a lot of trials and tribulations in my life," Rappin' 4Tay said. "And I feel like, if I could, you know, plant a seed, and watch it blossom, that means a whole lot to me. Especially seeing youth off the streets, and you know, doing something constructive and productive with their lives." The rapper, born Anthony Forté, was recently honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the History of the Bay Day Festival. His collaboration with Tupac in 1996 on "Only God Can Judge Me" remains a career-defining moment, one he remembers with reverence. "Wow, such a prolific individual," he said of Tupac. "There's a chemistry that I just don't think I'll ever be able to experience that again. It was a pleasure that God allowed that to happen in my life. To meet such a strong-minded individual. It was a beautiful thing because at the time, it was a lot of East Coast-West Coast drama and conflict and what have you going on, and I didn't want to be a part of that. I wanted to be a part of huddling up and getting together, you know. And that song, it fitted. It was just right." Now, 4Tay is fighting a different kind of battle. He is currently undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Despite the diagnosis, he continues to perform when possible and remains committed to making a difference in the lives of young people. "I'm just swinging, swinging, you know," he said. "I just want to say one love to all the individuals and family members and all the people praying for me and got my back. I appreciate it. I feel all the prayers. Thanks for all the support, etc." Forté, who encouraged youth to stay focused and complete their education, says he hopes to keep offering peace, purpose, and perspective for as long as he can. His memoir, I'll Be Around, is available now on all major book platforms.
