The creators of Mortal Kombat II are adding final details to their R-rated trailer, as confirmed by screenwriter Jeremy Slater. He stated that the Mortal Kombat Tournament indeed lives up to its name in this sequel, filled with fatalities, which was completed some time ago and is now just waiting for the perfect release date (the movie will be in theaters on October 24). More recently, producer Todd Garner announced that fans can anticipate the first trailer for Mortal Kombat II to arrive in July.
Shared a sneak peek of the “Mortal Kombat II” red-band trailer across various social platforms, using a stand-in image instead of the official red warning label that’s typically displayed with mature content previews, both online and in cinemas. (Note: “Mortal Kombat II” has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association for “intense bloody violence, gore, and strong language.”)
July…

The groundbreaking red-band trailer for the 2021 film “Mortal Kombat” was unveiled online in February, prior to its theater and HBO Max release on April 23rd. When can we expect the trailer for “Mortal Kombat II”? It may appear as early as July 11th, which is when Warner Bros.’ “Superman” movie is set to premiere in theaters, or possibly tied to San Diego Comic-Con, happening from July 24th-27th this year.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t see a red-rated trailer for “Mortal Kombat II” before the screening of “Superman,” given that such trailers can only appear before films carrying an R or NC-17 rating, and “Superman” falls under the PG-13 category.
One potential screening location for theaters is the July 18 horror-slasher movie “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” which hasn’t been rated by the MPA as of now but is predicted to earn an R rating, similar to the original from 1997 and its sequel from 1998. It’s likely that the trailer will be shown alongside New Line Cinema’s “Weapons” when the R-rated horror film directed by Zach Cregger opens in theaters on August 8.

As a passionate supporter myself, I can’t contain my enthusiasm when I say, “I can hardly wait for everyone to experience the movie! We’ve been working on it for quite some time now, carefully selecting the perfect release date and moment. I’ve had the privilege of attending test screenings filled with dedicated Mortal Kombat fans, and their reactions have been nothing short of exhilarating, much like the audience at the end of Avengers: Endgame. They were cheering and leaping from their seats! Every joke is hitting the mark, and they’re absolutely loving it. This moment in my career ranks among the greatest.” That’s what drives us to be part of this incredible industry.
In this film, we have Karl Urban portraying Johnny Cage, Adeline Rudolph stepping into the role of Kitana, Lewis Tan as Cole Young, Jessica McNamee taking on Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson playing Kano, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Mechad Brooks as Jackson “Jax” Briggs, Tati Gabrielle as Jade, CJ Bloomfield as Baraka, Damon Herriman as Quan Chi, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Max Huang as Kung Lao, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn, and Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion. The sequel to the original Mortal Kombat movie, titled Mortal Kombat II, will debut exclusively in theaters and IMAX on October 24th.
