Mortal Kombat II: First trailer shows thrilling showdown with Johnny Cage!
The battle for the fate of the earth is entering the next round! City of Bremerhaven reports on the highly anticipated first trailer for “Mortal Kombat II”, which has now been released. New Line Cinema is bringing the film into cinemas and with it some familiar faces from the first part are returning, but new characters will also captivate viewers.
This sequel is all about Johnny Cage, played by Karl Urban. The failed action star receives an invitation to a tournament where the survival of Earthrealm is at stake. Also at his side are old friends: Lui Kang, Jax, Scorpion, Sonya Blade and many more. Everyone must stand up against the sinister machinations of Shao Kahn and his henchmen in order to save the earth. HipHopWired highlights that Johnny Cage really takes center stage in the sequel, echoing critical feedback about the first film, which centered heavily on Cole Young.
The Return of the Fighters
The list of actors starring in the new film is a real treat for fans of the franchise. In addition to Karl Urban, Jessica McNamee, Ludi Lin and Mehcad Brooks are among those in front of the camera. Tati Gabrielle as Jade and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana also show that this time a breath of fresh air is blowing into the Mortal Kombat universe. And those who are looking forward to returning can look forward to meeting Scorpion, Raiden and Shang Tsung again.
