New Line Cinema has started warming up its audience ahead of the sequel to the Mortal Kombat movie. The first poster for the sequel is dedicated to Johnny Cage, the iconic character from the Mortal Kombat video game series. In the film, Johnny Cage will be portrayed by Karl Urban, who became internationally famous for his role as Billy Butcher in the superhero TV series The Boys.

Johnny Cage has been part of the Mortal Kombat roster since the very first game in the series. He was designed as a parody of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s action heroes, and he enters the Shaolin tournament as an actor trying to prove that he performs his own stunts without the help of a stunt double. This sets him apart from other fighters, who are often tied by a common past.

The Mortal Kombat 2 poster features a movie poster from one of Johnny Cage's fictional films, so it is a fun way to immerse people in the lore without revealing big secrets.
