Mortal Kombat 2 star Ludi Lin hypes the upcoming sequel teases what audiences can expect from Karl Urban's Johnny Cage performance. Based on the iconic video game franchise, 2021's Mortal Kombat movie from director Simon McQuoid was a modest success, and he's now set to helm the upcoming sequel. Mortal Kombat 2's cast features a handful of actors returning from the first film, as well as introducing a number of newcomers, including Urban as Cage.

In a recent interview with Screen Rant to promote The Art of Eight Limbs, Lin touches on his experience filming Mortal Kombat 2. According to the actor, filming on the sequel is still ongoing, and Urban is really leaving it all on the table with his performance as Cage. Check out Lin's comment below:

I hope you guys are ready for the next one. We've been shooting this one forever, I'm back in Australia still shooting MK 2. I was here for almost a year last time. Yeah, it's gonna be pretty immense, everything is going to be bigger. The story's going to be great. Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, I hope you guys are ready, because he's going to blow your socks off. Just from the experience that actors like Karl, actors like Nicholas [Hammond, his co-star in Art of Eight Limbs] brings on set... He mentioned that, in The Art of Eight Limbs, they really changed the script - started tweaking it - after they found out that they'd nailed an actor like him to play the role. You can tell, as soon as he comes on it really fills out the entire movie, he fills out the role, just like Karl does with Johnny Cage. There's just a level of expertise, there's some toolbox, the essence that they bring to the role just adds another dimension to it. In both cases I really look up to actors like this that can really bring a movie to the next level.

More to come...
