Mortal Kombat 2 Production Update: Karl Urban Resumes Filming Action Sequel
The Boys star Karl Urban took to Instagram to share a brand new cast photo from the set of the Mortal Kombat 2 production, confirming that filming has officially resumed in Australia. This comes after SAG-AFTRA recently announced the end of its 118-day-long actors’ strike, as the union finally reaches a tentative deal with the AMPTP.
