Coming later this year…
Earlier today, we were provided our first look at Shao Kahn, Kitana, and Scorpion in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film. They’ll be portrayed by Martyn Ford, Adeline Rudolph, and Hiroyuki Sanada (returning from the first movie) respectively.
As it turns out, NetherRealm Studios is working on movie skins for these three characters along with Johnny Cage, played by Karl Urban. We’ve been provided with a sneak peek at what these costumes will look like within Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns.
Just like with Mortal Kombat 11 and Mortal Kombat 1, Shao Kahn is sporting an appearance that makes him look partially draconic. Fleshy scales can be seen on his arms.
Scorpion is featured with a hood over his head and a mask shielding his face. His dagger and sickle can be seen tied to his waist, but he of course keeps his iconic spear held in his hand at all times.
Kitana looks exactly as one might expect her to look. A side-by-side comparison of Kitana in Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns and Adeline Rudolph serves as a stunning match.
Finally, there’s a better look at what we can probably expect from Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage. He’s wearing a brown jacket, a t-shirt, and jeans. Of course, it wouldn’t be Johnny Cage without his sunglasses to go along with the look.
According to NetherRealm Studios, these skins will be released within Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns “later this year.” There aren’t any further details about how long we may have to wait to get ahold of these costumes.
However, it’s worth mentioning that the Mortal Kombat 2 film is set to hit theaters on October 24, 2025. As a result, we expect these skins to be released closer to that time to help promote the movie.
The timing of this announcement is certainly interesting considering some of the rumors regarding the future of Mortal Kombat 1 that have recently surfaced. The T-1000 and Madam Bo are set to become available for Early Access starting tomorrow, but it’s currently unknown if there will be any additional DLC characters added afterwards.
For now, it’s still difficult to tell if this changes anything for a potential “Kombat Pack 3,” but it is at least a little encouraging. In the meantime, we’ll just have to look forward to the release of these costumes to find out what’s going on.
