Johnny Cage Takes Center Stage
The new trailer reveals that this installment of the story will focus heavily on Johnny Cage, portrayed by Karl Urban. The action star is unexpectedly pulled into the dangerous Mortal Kombat tournament and must quickly improve his skills as Earthrealm confronts its greatest challenge to date.
