New Line Cinema releases the first ten minutes of the Mortal Kombat II film adaptation, showcasing Karl Urban as Johnny Cage ahead of its digital release.
If you have been waiting to see how Karl Urban handles the shades and the attitude of Johnny Cage, New Line Cinema has just dropped an early look at the upcoming sequel. IGN South Africa recently debuted the first ten minutes of Mortal Kombat II, giving fans a direct window into the high stakes of the upcoming fighting game adaptation. The opening footage sets the stage for the earthrealm defenders as they face the brutal pressure of Shao Kahn.
The sequel brings back much of the core cast alongside heavy hitters like Karl Urban as Cage, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, and Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion. Judging by the initial preview, the production leans heavily into the signature gore and fast paced martial arts action that defined the 2021 reboot while expanding the scope of the tournament narrative. For anyone tracking how video game adaptations manage to translate controller mechanics into cinematic set pieces, this sequel looks ready to deliver.
For those ready to dive in without a theater trip, the film lands on digital platforms tomorrow, June 9, 2026. Physical collectors will have to wait just a bit longer, as the 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD editions arrive on July 28. You can check out the full opening sequence over at IGN South Africa to see how the latest chapter kicks off.
