Mortal Kombat II is coming soon only to theatres and a mock poster hyping Karl Urban as Johnny Cage is reminding everybody of the occasion! Take a closer look at the first official image of the hotly anticipated klassic kombatant:

Urban dons a tasteful pair of sunglasses to embody the fan-favourite character for a poster playing up Johnny Cage's status as an action movie star. Uncaged Fury is apparently from the studio who brought us Rebel Without a Cage -- one of the many titles in Johnny's legendary in-fiction filmography that includes game references Ninja Mime, The Gist of My Fist, Cage Match and more.

Johnny Cage was a controversial omission from the 2021 cinematic franchise reboot -- quickly becoming a highly anticipated character for the sequel that attracted a variety of hopeful would-be actors. New Zealand actor Karl Urban (The Boys, Thor: Ragnarok) became attached to the teased role early in 2023. Series co-creator Ed Boon shared a photo with the actor from a July visit to the Australian backlot that same year.
