The anticipation for Mortal Kombat 2 reaches new heights with the release of the first official teaser image featuring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage. Known for his roles in The Boys and Lord of the Rings, Urban is set to bring the iconic character to life in the upcoming sequel to the 2021 reboot of Mortal Kombat.
While some behind-the-scenes images of Urban with the cast have surfaced during pre-production, producer Todd Garner recently shared the first glimpse of Urban as Johnny Cage. In the image, a belt bearing the surname “CAGE” can be seen around the waist, presumably of Urban himself.
Although Garner didn’t specify who was wearing the belt in the picture, there’s no doubt that Urban will be portraying the character in the film.
Fans expressed a mix of excitement and skepticism in response to the teaser image. Some praised Urban’s past performances and deemed him a perfect fit for the role, while others expressed concerns about his ability to capture the humorous side of Johnny Cage. Despite the varying reactions, excitement for Urban’s portrayal of the character is palpable among Mortal Kombat enthusiasts.
With Mortal Kombat 2 yet to announce its release date, fans eagerly await further updates and glimpses of what promises to be an electrifying sequel.
