Mortal Kombat 2 Means Karl Urban Can Make Up For This Other Video Game Adaptation With 18% On Rotten Tomatoes

Karl Urban as Billy Butcher in The Boys next to Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat

Summary After Karl Urban's disappointing video game adaptation with 18% on Rotten Tomatoes, the actor finally has a chance to make up for the project thanks to Mortal Kombat 2. Karl Urban's casting as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 2 was announced in 2023 and helped add some extra star power to the reboot.

Karl Urban Played John Grimm In 2005’s Doom Urban's First Video Game Adaptation Role Came Nearly 2 Decades Ago In Doom With Mortal Kombat 2 scheduled for a 2025 release date, Urban's new video game adaptation could make up for his underwhelming Doom movie two decades prior. Doom was the actor's first outing in a gaming movie, but it didn't manage to fulfill its full potential.

The first movie did much of the heavy lifting in terms of establishing the world and lore, meaning the sequel can simply focus on introducing the new characters and telling a strong story. Given how popular Billy Butcher has become, Mortal Kombat 2 may want to cash in on Urban's mainstream appeal and copy some traits from his role in The Boys .
