Less than one month after the film was released in theaters, big screen sequel Mortal Kombat II is now getting ready for its release on Digital outlets at home.
Mortal Kombat II hits Digital at home on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid returns to the helm for the new sequel from a script by Jeremy Slater (“Moon Knight,” Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire).
In Mortal Kombat II, the fan-favorite champions — now joined by Johnny Cage (Karl Urban) — are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.
Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Damon Herriman, Chin Han, Tadanobu Asano, Joe Taslim, and Hiroyuki Sanada are also part of the ensemble cast of Mortal Kombat II fighters.
From New Line Cinema, James Wan’s Atomic Monster, Broken Road Productions, and Fireside Films, Mortal Kombat II is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language.”
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Mortal Kombat II addresses fans’ biggest complaint of its 2021 predecessor straight out of the gate: the tournament has finally arrived. With the stage-setting and character introductions mostly out of the way, returning director Simon McQuoid cuts right to the pulpy, gory chase as Earthrealm and Outworld champions scramble to prepare for a barrage of lethal battles and fan service.”
“Mortal Kombat II plays it safe, adhering more firmly to game canon and lore,” Meagan’s 3 Skull review goes on to explain. “It delivers plenty of fun and fan service, but it loses some of its original spark along the way in its fervent rush to pack an entire tournament of plotting into its runtime. But its winsome cast and delightfully gory fatalities ensure just enough investment to bop along to the iconic theme song once the end credits arrive.”
