The team behind the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie sequel – aptly known as Mortal Kombat 2 – has released a new teaser for the film, with a certain Mr Johnny Cage taking centre stage (poetry!).
The teaser itself is called Uncaged Fury, and sees Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage taking on a load of would-be assailants by whacking them all with pipes and leaping around in a rather athletic way. This leaping includes him jumping over a recently launched Bazooka missile, which despite being aimed at the ground manages to miss Johnny and hit… actually, I won’t say, because you really do have to see it to believe it.

In addition to Urban, Adeline Rudolph – who previously starred in Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina – will play Princess Kitana. Meanwhile, fellow Sabrina alum Tati Gabrielle is Kitana’s bodyguard, Jade.
This is not Gabrielle’s first foray into the video game adaptation scene. She also starred as Jo Braddock in 2022’s Uncharted film adaptation, and recently starred in The Last of Us’ second season as Nora, “a military medic struggling to come to terms with the sins of her past”.
Eurogamer’s former editor Wesley Yin-Poole wasn’t overly keen on the first Mortal Kombat film when it came out a few years ago, calling it boring.
“There’s just enough low-rent entertainment to prevent the Mortal Kombat movie from being a complete disaster, but it’s tough to recommend when it costs £16 to rent online. A tenner straight to Blu-ray feels like a better fit,” he wrote in Eurogamer’s Mortal Kombat movie review.
