Welp, we won’t be seeing Moral Kombat II in theaters this year.
In a stunning move, Warner Bros. has decided to hit the pause button on the highly anticipated sequel to 2021’s Mortal Kombat movie, delaying the Karl Urban-led film until May 15, 2026, moving it from its original October 2025 release date.
In a post on Instagram announcing the delay and sharing a new poster along with possibly teasing a new trailer, the caption read, “The tournament demands a new time and place, worthy of its spectacle. Mortal Kombat II – only in theaters May 15, 2026.
Tuesday unlocks the next level.”
No precise reasoning for the delay was shared with many, as Warner Bros. is likely trying to capitalize on the strong response to the first trailer by letting this movie simmer in the oven a bit longer.
