Mortal Kombat II rips into theaters on October 24th, check out the official trailer now

The Mortal Kombat 2021 reboot was a relatively solid flick, though many fans probably prefer the original. Thankfully New Line Cinema has announced a theatrical release date for the sequel Mortal Kombat II (duh).

We assume it’s a pretty anticipated follow up that should smooth out the rough edges of the first movie — especially considering where that one end off, story wise.  Having Karl Urban starring as Johnny Cage certainly doesn’t hurt, and the trailer embedded below gives us hope that the movie should be a good time.

Check out the media below and a bit more info from New Line and Warner Bros. Pictures below.
