As the promotional tweet reads: “LET’S HEAR IT! Share your best “GET OVER HERE” or “FINISH HIM” and use #MortalKombatKall. You may just introduce the new Mortal Kombat II trailer on 2/25 at #IGNFanFest.”

The promotional contest is smart, as it will get fans to amplify Mortal Kombat II‘s social media buzz – hopefully up to the trending levels the studio wants to see just before a major trailer launch. The prize (a lucky fan getting to introduce the trailer) doesn’t actually threaten the trailer’s performance in any way, but will definitely give that fan an experience they’ll be happy to re-share within their social circles. If the promotional campaign gets enough traction, it’s an easy trick reuse when marketing future projects that have niche genre appeal.

Mortal Kombat II will star Karl Urban (The Boys) as actor Johnny Cage, who is pulled into the deadly tournament to defend Earthrealm from the hellish Outworld and its evil warriors, led by the warlord Shao Kahn (Martyn Ford). The cast of the sequel is expanding significantly, with fan-favorites MK characters like Kitana (Adeline Rudolph), Jade (Tati Gabrielle), and Quan Chi (Damon Herriman) joining the movie series. Returning actors include Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, Lewis Tan as Cole Young, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Joe Taslim as Noob Saiboot (instead of his previous Sub-Zero role), Max Huang as Kung Lao, and more.

Mortal Kombat II has a release date of April 23rd. It is “Rated R for strong bloody violence and gore, and language.” Come discuss with us on the ComicBook Forum!
