Mortal Kombat 2 Set for October 2025 Release

Warner Bros. has announced that Mortal Kombat 2 will hit theaters on October 24, 2025, with an IMAX release. Directed by Simon McQuoid and written by Moon Knight’s Jeremy Slater, the sequel features a star-studded cast, including Karl Urban, Adeline Rudolph, and Lewis Tan, among others. Rumors about the film began in 2022, with Karl Urban confirmed to play Johnny Cage, a role WWE’s The Miz had hoped to secure. The 2021 Mortal Kombat movie was well-received, winning its opening weekend at the box office and praised for its effects-heavy martial arts battles, despite being an ambitious blend of origin story and superhero team-up.
