Karl Urban joined IGN Fan Fest 2026 today to introduce the brand new Mortal Kombat II trailer. It shows our boy Johnny Cage (Urban) looking pretty unhappy at a fan convention before finding himself battling other realms in a fighting tournament. It’s a spicy little taste of the new movie, which will arrive in theaters on May 8.
“Johnny Cage, when we first see him in Mortal Kombat II, is a very dispirited character,” Urban told fans at New York Comic Con 2025 back in October.
“His career is completely in the tank, he’s not been keeping up with his martial arts training. The world has forgotten who Johnny Cage is. He has very little of that brash, cocky Johnny Cage you know from the games. He’s a broken man… Through the course of the movie, we get to see him transform into a true champion of Earthrealm and involuntarily get launched into this insane action epic adventure. It’ll blow your minds, man.”
