Mortal Kombat II is an upcoming martial arts fantasy film set to release on May 8, 2026, serving as the direct sequel to the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie.

The film, directed by Simon McQuoid and written by Jeremy Slater, continues the brutal saga inspired by the iconic video game series. This time, Earthrealm’s champions face their greatest threat yet: the dark emperor Shao Kahn, whose conquest endangers the very existence of humanity. Returning fighters like Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Jax, and Scorpion join forces with new allies, including Johnny Cage (played by Karl Urban), Kitana, and Jade, to battle against Outworld’s deadly warriors. With high-stakes combat, mystical powers, and intense rivalries, Mortal Kombat II promises to expand the universe with deeper lore, more iconic characters, and epic battles that push the limits of survival and honor.
