Mortal Kombat 2 has been postponed from its October 24 date and will debut in theaters on May 15, 2026. The May release benefits from Avengers: Doomsday moving to December 2026, reducing immediate Marvel competition. Karl Urban joins the cast as Johnny Cage, and a faux-trailer for an in-fiction Johnny Cage film, Uncaged Fury, preceded the real trailer. Adeline Rudolph appears as Kitana, joined by Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, and Mehcad Brooks as Jax. NetherRealm confirmed no further Mortal Kombat 1 DLC, and a Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection arrives December 12 for consoles and PC.
Mortal Kombat 2 was slated to begin its box office battle on October 24, but Warner Bros. and New Line have called an audible. The studios have decided to postpone the upcoming MK sequel until summer 2026. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mortal Kombat 2 will now debut in theaters on May 15, 2026. Typically, the beginning of May isn't an ideal space for anything that isn't a big-budget blockbuster.
But because Avengers: Doomsday was pushed to December 2026, there's no Marvel movie in the immediate vicinity of Mortal Kombat 2. That may give the sequel a better chance to break out from the pack than next month's crowded October slate would have. The Boys' Karl Urban is the most prominent addition to the cast of Mortal Kombat 2 as the fan-favorite Hollywood actor Johnny Cage.
Earlier this summer, MK co-creator Ed Boon shared the first look at Adeline Rudolph as Kitana. She'll be joined by a number of new and returning performers in Mortal Kombat 2 including Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, and Mehcad Brooks as Jax. The MK team at NetherRealm Studios confirmed that there will be no more DLC for Mortal Kombat 1 near the end of May. However, there is a Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection coming to consoles and PC on December 12.
