Mortal Kombat fans have a lot to look forward to as the sequel to the 2021 blockbuster is officially happening. The first Mortal Kombat movie was a hit among fans of the video game franchise, and now the excitement is building for its follow-up. The film will bring back familiar characters while introducing new ones, including the highly anticipated Johnny Cage. This sequel is expected to take things to the next level. Here’s everything you need to know about the Mortal Kombat 2 release date, cast, and plot.
Mortal Kombat 2 Release Date
Mortal Kombat 2 is set to premiere in cinemas and IMAX on October 24, 2025. Fans have been eagerly waiting for an official release date, and now they can mark their calendars for this highly anticipated sequel. The film is directed by Simon McQuoid, who also helmed the first movie, and written by Jeremy Slater.
Mortal Kombat 2 Plot
The Mortal Kombat tournament returns, bringing even higher stakes for Earthrealm and Outworld. Co-creator Ed Boon has revealed that the competition will be much more intense this time, with a visual scoreboard tracking who is winning. He also teased that the film will have unexpected twists and turns, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
Johnny Cage, one of the most beloved characters in the Mortal Kombat franchise, will make his debut in this film. Director Simon McQuoid has said they wanted to avoid making him overly silly, stating, "We needed a character who was not just absolutely silly and comic-booky. It’s so simple to turn Cage into a lightweight and disposable character, but having Karl Urban enabled us to add more complexity."
