Movie Mortal Kombat Returns in 2025: From Movie to Halloween 2025 Cosplay Guide

One of the most anticipated action movies of 2025, Mortal Kombat 2, will be released worldwide on October 23.This sequel not only continues the violent aesthetics of the previous movie, but also introduces the classic character such as Johnny Cage. As Halloween approaches, it provides fans with new Halloween costume options.

• About this sequel 

Directed by Simon McQuoid, Mortal Kombat 2 continues the storyline of the first 2021 film, but this time the focus shifts from original character Cole Young to one of the game series' most beloved characters: Hollywood action star Johnny Cage. The film follows Johnny Cage as he is recruited to compete in a new Mortal Kombat tournament and learns to survive and fight in the brutal battlefield.

While many characters from previous games have returned, a large number of new characters have also been introduced. It's worth noting that while protagonist Cole Young returns, he appears for just one second in the trailer, clearly taking a backseat. This adjustment is widely seen as a positive response to fan feedback—classic game characters are more popular with audiences than original film characters.

The cast includes Karl Urban (Star Trek) as Johnny Cage, with newcomers Tati Gabrielle as Jade, Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, and Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn. Original cast members Lewis Tan (Cole Young), Jessica McNamee (Sonya Blade), Joe Taslim (Sub-Zero), and Hiroyuki Sanada (Scorpion) will also be returning.

• Fan's Reaction

The release of the Mortal Kombat 2 trailer has garnered enthusiastic responses from the global fan community, with discussions focusing on the following key areas:

1. Karl Urban's casting as Johnny Cage was widely praised, with fans praising his ability to perfectly capture the character's signature balance of narcissistic humor and tough-guy qualities.Fans had initially speculated that James Marsden or Keanu Reeves might play the role.
2. More Female Characters: The director had previously stated that the sequel would focus on more female characters, a promise fulfilled with the addition of Kitana and Jade.
