New Mortal Kombat II Trailer Confirms Tickets on Sale Now

Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for Mortal Kombat II, the sequel to the 2021 movie adaptation. The world premiere is set on May 8, and the recently released trailer not only demonstrates new footage but also announces that tickets are on sale now.

Following the film’s synopsis, published in the trailer description, Mortal Kombat II is “the latest high-stakes installment in the blockbuster video game franchise in all its brutal glory. This time, the fan-favorite champions—now joined by Johnny Cage himself—are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds-barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.” You can check out the new trailer of the movie below:

Recently, AMC Theatres also confirmed the upcoming Mortal Kombat II adaptation will be the longest movie adaptation ever based on the franchise (1 hour 56 minutes). For comparison, the original movie’s length is 1 hour 50 minutes, and films from the 1990s are having even less duration—1995's Mortal Kombat is 1 hour 41 minutes, and Mortal Kombat Annihilation is 1 hour 35 minutes.

We also know that Mortal Kombat III is officially happening, with the script possibly being finished by screenwriter Jeremy Slater. According to GeekTyrant, the upcoming third installment may adapt the events of the Mortal Kombat 3 video game, where Shao Kahn is manipulating events and resurrects Queen Sindel to invade Earthrealm and unite it with Outworld. As a result, there are no tournaments like in the upcoming Mortal Kombat II—instead, pure chaos and countless fights.

The cast of Mortal Kombat II includes Karl Urban, who plays Johnny Cage, Ludi Lin (Lui Kang), Jessica McNamee (Sonya Blade), Joe Taslim (Bi-Han/Noob Saibot), Hiroyuki Sanada (Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion), Adeline Rudolph (Kitana), Tati Gabriele (Jade), Josh Lawson (Kano), Martyn Ford (Shao Kahn), Tadanobu Asano (Lord Raider), CJ Bloomfield (Baraka), Lewis Tan (Cole Young), and more. Mortal Kombat II is directed by Simon McQuoid.
