The Mortal Kombat has several iconic characters, but one mascot is definitely loudmouth, washed-up actor Johnny Cage.
Johnny may have skipped out the first movie, but now he’s going to be in the sequel, and played by Karl Urban (The Boys) no less. Just in, the MK sequel has dropped a look at Urban as Cage for his fictional movie Uncaged Fury. Check this out:

We don’t know much about this version of Cage yet, but if he’s anything like the character in the games, he’s going to be loud, narcissistic, and completely hilarious. We already know Urban can be funny, but some are still waiting to see if he was the right choice for someone like Johnny Cage.
Besides Johnny, new characters expected to be introduced in the sequel include Kitana (Adeline Rudolph), Jade (Tati Gabrielle), Quan Chi (Damon Herriman), Shao Khan (Martyn Ford), Queen Sindel (Ana Thu Nguyen), and Baraka (CJ Bloomfield).
All of the surviving characters from the first movie are also set to make a comeback like Liu Kang (Ludi Lin), Sonya (Jessica McNamee), and Jax (Mehcad Brooks). There’s also going to be resurrections of others like Noob Saibot (Joe Taslim), Revenant Kung Lao (Max Huang), and Kano (Josh Lawson).
I’ll admit, I wasn’t the biggest fan of how the original film kind of took itself too seriously, but the action was fantastic, and everyone’s powers looked amazing. We don’t know how much of that will show up in the sequel, but I hope we actually get to the tournament after the first movie just kept building up to it.
Mortal Kombat 2 comes to cinemas on Oct. 24.
