As Benjamin Franklin once wrote in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Le Roy in 1789: «Nothing is certain in this world except death, taxes, and endless restarts of Mortal Kombat».
The Mortal Kombat series of games has already been relaunched twice — first in 2011, and then again in 2023. And the movie franchise got its first relaunch in 2021 with the release of Mortal Kombat.
Now we’re waiting for the sequel to the restart – Mortal Kombat 2 (technically, this is the fourth live-action movie in the series) is due out on October 24. A few years ago, it became known that Karl Urban would play Johnny Cage. And now we have the opportunity to see him in this role for the first time — thanks to the poster published on the official Mortal Kombat Movie Twitter account.
«It’s Johnny ******* Cage», — captioned image of Karl Urban.
But the most interesting thing is that this is not a poster for Mortal Kombat 2 itself, but a poster for the fictional movie Uncaged Fury — a film from the Mortal Kombat universe starring world-famous actor and martial artist Johnny Cage. The poster reads: «From the studio that brought you Rebel Without a Cage», which sounds quite plausible. The background shows motorcycles bouncing in the air, explosions, and puffs of smoke — all in all, a very decent poster.
As for the movie itself, we will see it in October. The first movie of the relaunch was «pretty good», but for an R-rating it «could have been tougher». The addition of Karl Urban to the cast certainly increases the chances of success.
