Mortal Kombat 2 Trailer
Released on July 17, 2025, the trailer delivers everything fans crave: brutal fight sequences, a visually darker aesthetic, and the electrifying unveiling of Karl Urban as Johnny Cage. It even teases a fictional in-universe film, Uncaged Fury. Watch the trailer below.
Plot
Following the climactic events of the first film, Earthrealm’s champions—Cole Young, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Jax, Sub‑Zero, and more—prepare for the next Mortal Kombat tournament. The stakes are higher than ever: if Earthrealm loses again, Shao Kahn of Outworld will invade. The tournament isn’t just spectacle: “They keep score… There are huge consequences,” promises co‑creator Ed Boon.
