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.

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.

Accompanying the footage are various AI-generated voices, which also include a synthetic imitation of Karl Urban's voice.

The first look at Karl Urban's Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 2 is here – and he's already a hit in early screenings

The first look at Karl Urban's Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 2 has arrived, with the game franchise's co-creator Ed Boon teasing a "fresh" take on the Kombatant, who is best known for his brash, obnoxious personality and back catalog of B-movies such as Ninja Mime and The Gist of My Fist. Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we now have a glimpse at a snarling Johnny Cage, sporting his trademark shades. "His integration into the Mortal Kombat story and universe is a big part of what this movie explores," Boon said. "He's a washed-up Hollywood guy thrown into this magical, ultra-violent thing. Karl, his depiction of Johnny Cage is different than our games in some ways. He's adding his own [flair] to it, but I think it'll feel fresh. There's like a novelty factor in there." Boon added that Johnny Cage's introduction is "ridiculously hilarious" in Mortal Kombat 2 and his role featured "some of the biggest laughs" from early test screenings. Previously, we had gotten snapshots of The Boys star Karl Urban's depiction of Johnny Cage. Firstly, through the medium of a suitably obnoxious belt buckle – and then a poster pointing towards his days as a washed-up Hollywood actor. As you can see below, there's also a first look at the fan-wielding fan favorite Kitana (Adeline Rudolph) and Mortal Kombat villain Shao Kahn (Martyn Ford). Mortal Kombat 2 features the return of Lewis Tan's Cole Young, Hiroyuki Sanada's Scorpion, and Jessica McNamee's Sonya Blade. Newcomers in the ultra-violent sequel include Jade (Tati Gabrielle), Sindel (Ana Thu Nguyen), and Quan Chi (Damon Herriman). Mortal Kombat 2 is set to be released in cinemas on October 24, 2025.
