Looks like Cassie Cage is konfirmed as well:

If Sonya is in, I think Johnny is almost a lock at this point.
Which surprises me, I thought the parent characters would sit out this game.

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

He’s in the background of one of the stages. I don’t think his chances are looking good.

Any pictures of that??

Agreed. Though, I have a feeling Jax may sit this one out or be dead, considering Jacqui's arcade ending.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn have been in backgrounds and been playable, if I recall correctly.

And Kitana. And Superman, notably, in IJ2.

I for sure feel like Jax will be left out, probably dead. Which could give some more depth to Jacqui as a character.

I’m just pessimistic about this stuff haha.

I can understand that. Scarlet was in a bg as well, though she ended up being DLC. I don't see them doing that with Johnny though. They'd have a riot if they tried to make him DLC.

You sure that's Johnny and not just a random?

 

[RoninLoganX]

You sure that's Johnny and not just a random?

Looks like he's wearing Johnny's CAGE belt buckle

 

[Sugarwatermixlegit]

My exact thoughts. It could be Johnny for all we know, but I just get generic dude in glasses vibes from him.

 

[OliverCage33]

Superman was in the background of Injustice 2.

 

[NYJrax]

Superman was in the background of Injustice 2.

Alright, alright. You guys have given me hope. Sorry for the overreaction.

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

Looks like he's wearing Johnny's CAGE belt buckle

Edit: Nevermind, I actually see it now. Huh.

 

[RoninLoganX]

You can't really tell that

True. Unless we get a clear shot, there's no telling for certain.

 

[Pterodactyl]

No that is Cassie. It's literally written on her dogtag if you look carefully.

Well damn

 

[Kal]

This guy thought Sonya was Cassie? LMAO

Read the dog tag bruh.

 

[Peter Quill]

Really happy Cassie is back but Jesus H FUCK WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER VOICE!?

In fact, that has to be my biggest fucking complaint so far out of everything that’s been shown. The casts for MK9 and MKX were WONDERFUL!

So what’s this new bullshit Scorpion, Ronda fucking Rousey, and now this Smoker Cassie BS?

 

[trufenix]

Johnny's not going anywhere, he's like half the last games plot.

Reptile, H. Smoke, Jade, Noob, Cyrax, Meat, Shinnok, Shao Kahn, Blaze, (tons of people in deception), (tons of people in armageddon), skarlet, sonya, kitana, mileena and rain have all been in backgrounds and playable in the same game.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Really happy Cassie is back but Jesus H FUCK WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER VOICE!?

Pretty sure that's still Ashly Burch? I could be wrong.

 

[Metin]

1- Raiden
2- Scorpion
3- Sub-Zero
4- Skarlet
5- Geras
6- Kung Lao
7- Liu Kang
8- Baraka
9- Shao Kahn
10- Kronika
11- Cassie Cage
12- Sonya Blade
13- Kitana

12 more left. Looks like some fans gonne be mad because of the very limited MK roster again.

 

[Lord Greyjoy]

Gonna come out and say it: She looked way better in MKX. Of course, I'm going off an iota of footage, but yeah not a good first impression.

 

[StormGoddess]

I mean, games do that all the time putting characters in the background. That doesnt mean he wont appear. Have hope, buddy

 

[DarksydeDash]

Kitana looks great!

 

[ArcticTabasco]

Hopefully she still has the same attitude as before. I liked Cassie a lot in MKX for her personality, she was fun.
