Mortal Kombat II: Official Trailer II, Poster, And 3 Images Released

Warner Bros. has released a new trailer, poster, and three new images for Mortal Kombat II, which will be released in theaters on May 8, 2026.

The first Mortal Kombat film is an interesting little release. It was one of the big hybrid releases for 2021, so while the film did get a theatrical release, it was also on HBO Max and got pirated to hell. However, fans seemed to really like the film, and the numbers across the board were good enough that Warner Bros. was willing to give it a sequel. They didn't fast-track said sequel, but they greenlit one, which is saying something. The second trailer for Mortal Kombat II, which they have titled Official Trailer II because, of course, they did, has officially been released. We see a whole bunch of new footage of new and familiar faces. It's clear that Karl Urban as Johnny Cage is the star this time around, with fans already predicting that the star from the previous film, Cole Young (Lewis Tan), will get a fatality less than 30 minutes in. We also got a new poster and three new images as well.
