Mortal Kombat II: Official Trailer, 16 Character Posters, And 3 Images

Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema released the official trailer, sixteen character posters, and three new images for Mortal Kombat II.

One of the reasons the first Mortal Kombat movie worked for fans was that it took the goofy concept seriously, and despite how ridiculous the entire thing was, they just leaned in pretty far. Was the movie brilliant? No. Were many aspects of the interactive game that fans loved lost when we switched to an inactive medium? Absolutely, but they managed to find a balance that worked better than any other previous attempt. Now we're back for Mortal Kombat II, and they are leaning in even further. Karl Urban as Johnny Cage was already going to get people on board. Between Dredd and The Boys, Urban has low-key become a staple of R-rated comic book adaptations, so why not make the jump to R-rated video game adaptations as well?

The official trailer for Mortal Kombat II was released today along with sixteen(!!!) character posters, three more images, and one-pager information with some summary and credits information. The sixteen-character posters mean this cast is going to be massive, and while some of these characters might have 5 seconds of total screentime, if that screentime rules, it won't really matter in the end. The YouTube comment section underneath the trailer seems happy with the footage, and the "get over here!" from Scorpion is already the things of fanboy dreams.
