First Look Teaser, Poster Unleashed
A brand-new poster for Mortal Kombat II has also been released, showing off the iconic dragon symbol glowing with ominous green energy. It confirms the October 24 release date and that the movie was filmed for IMAX, promising a larger-than-life experience when Realms kollide this fall.
Johnny Cage Hypes the Hype
Along with the poster, Warner Bros. dropped a hilarious teaser featuring footage from Johnny’s in-universe movie, Uncaged Fury. An IMDb profile for Johnny Cage — officially played by Karl Urban — loaded with fictional movie credits and arrogant Cage-isms has also been released. That includes mock titles like Hard to Cage, Rebel Without a Cage, and Cool Hand Cage.
