The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the talk of the town right now in terms of video game adaptations, but the next video game movie, Mortal Kombat 2, is almost here–and now a new trailer has arrived.
The trailer focuses on Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage and his mission to save the world, and it’s the kind of over-the-top action one would expect from the series based on pulling people’s spines out. There is a special moment midway through the trailer where Cage is drowning his sorrows at the bar. He goes to ask for one more drink. And the bartender? He’s played by none other than Ed Boon, the creator of the Mortal Kombat series. Check it out.
The new trailer also heralds the start of ticket sales for Mortal Kombat 2. The movie releases in theaters on May 8, so there isn’t much longer to go.
This is an exciting update! It’s great to see the franchise’s creator making a cameo in the Mortal Kombat 2 trailer. The buzz around video game adaptations is really interesting, especially with so many releases coming up. Looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds!
