thegamer.com:

The second Mortal Kombat movie has reportedly been given a release date of October 24, 2025, meaning that we'll be waiting more than a year to see Karl Urban as Johnny Cage.

Although Mortal Kombat 1 might not have had the strong start that fans were hoping for thanks to its "predatory" item store and misfires with some of its game modes, it's made a pretty big comeback in recent months and has given fans a reason to stay excited about the series.
