Mortal Kombat news is hot and steamy right now, like so much spilled blood. It is a good time to be a fan – with Mortal Kombat 12 details due any second now, we can all enjoy a welcome distraction as we look towards news for the film sequel.
And what a headline it it – via TheWrap we have a report that Karl Urban, the absolute legend who has portrayed both Judge Dredd and is a huge face in Amazon’s The Boys, may well be getting a tacky chest tattoo to portray Johnny Cage in the as-yet unnamed 2021 Mortal Kombat movie sequel.

Many were clamouring for some particular faces to perhaps steal the role, with a not-so quiet majority making mention of how WWE’s The Miz would be a solid fit.
Currently the news via TheWrap comes simply as a report, with no full clarification to the source – but their track record is one of reporting information from reputable tips, so right now it’s a holding pattern until someone closer to either the production or Karl Urban releases a full statement.
The Mortal Kombat sequel is gearing up for full production soon, with original director Simon McQuoid returning to helm the project.
Do you think Billy Butcher will be a good Johnny Cage? Who was your first pick? Let us know in the comments or on social media.
Huge shoutouts to TheWrap.
