Mortal Kombat II reinvigorated the movie series for fans of the long-running video games. It was released in theaters earlier this year and brought in tons of fans to the theaters for it. Now, the film heads to digital on June 9th, 2026, and on physical media (4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD) on July 28th, 2026.
Mortal Kombat II comes from director Simon McQuoid and writer Jeremy Slater. It stars Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, alongside Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Damon Herriman, with Chin Han, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han, and Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi and Scorpion.
If you missed out on the film in theaters here’s a synopsis:
This time, the fan favorite champions—now joined by Johnny Cage himself—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.

The THS Take – An Awesome Looking Physical Media Release
For a studio release right when the film is coming out, Mortal Kombat II is getting a pretty expansive suite of extras. There’s no commentary, which is always disappointing, but these featurettes should make up for some of that. They go into the making of the film and some behind-the-scenes work as well. Hopefully the 4K picture quality is as beautiful as it was in the theater.
Here’s what I had to say in my 9/10 review of Mortal Kombat II.
Mortal Kombat II is just a straight-up satisfying movie. Whether you’re a superfan of the games or just someone wanting to see some massive action on screen, it’ll satisfy. The plot is simple, but that simplistic style is a weapon in this movie. It means we get more of a focus on the characters rather than some convoluted story that we have to juggle in addition to all the characters. Instead, we get a movie that is about the characters we know and love AND gives us the action from the games that we expect. A movie based on Mortal Kombat is supposed to be silly; it’s supposed to have moments of levity, but there’s much more than that here.
Mortal Kombat II is a hell of a movie. It hits the notes that a video game adaptation should, while giving us some satisfying character work from Karl Urban and Adeline Rudolph. And remember folks, we are all…
JOHNNY FU**ING CAGE.
