Warner Bros. Pictures is taking a unique marketing approach for the highly anticipated Mortal Kombat II movie, set to hit theaters on October 24, 2025. The studio has created a humorous fake IMDB page for the character Johnny Cage, played by Karl Urban.
The fake IMDB listing showcases a profile for Cage along with an amusing collection of fictional movie titles such as “Uncaged Fury,” “Hard To Cage The Gist of my Fist,” and “Cool Hand Cage,” all humorously rated 6.9. The profile also highlights a list of whimsical awards attributed to Cage, including “Best Fight in a Feature Film” and “Best Sunglasses.” Notably, an FAQ section adds a comedic touch, responding to the question “Who is Johnny Cage dating?” with the playful answer “Your mom.”
Mortal Kombat II continues to build excitement with a cast that includes returning favorites like Josh Lawson, Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, and Hiroyuki Sanada, alongside newcomers Urban, Adeline Rudolph, and Tati Gabrielle. Directed by Simon McQuoid, the film aims to capture the action and humor that fans of the franchise have come to love.
This innovative marketing strategy not only adds a fun element to the film’s promotion but also engages fans in a lighthearted way, creating a buzz ahead of its release.
