US EditionMortal Kombat II Movie Delayed, Will Release Next Summer
Mortal Kombat II was delayed to avoid the less vibrant October box office and follow Warner Bros' successful mid-May release strategy, with prior films grossing $257.8 million worldwide.
- Warner Bros. will release Mortal Kombat II, directed by Simon McQuoid, on May 15, 2026, moving the film to theaters next summer.
- The film’s release was originally scheduled for October 24, 2025, but was delayed to avoid a crowded fall and position it in a stronger box-office season.
- The highly anticipated sequel features fan-favorite champions led by Karl Urban as Johnny Cage battling Shao Kahn’s dark rule to defend Earthrealm.
- The red-band trailer set a record with 107 million global views in 24 hours, while previous Mortal Kombat films have grossed $257.8 million worldwide.
- The delay may increase the film’s financial potential by releasing during a less competitive period, similar to Sony’s successful May release of Final Destination: Bloodlines.
