Going to go a step further and also count people I think'll get killed off in the comic leading up to release. Wild speculation follows:
Daegon - Guessing killed off during the comic; the Red Dragon won't be a factor in this game.
Mavado - Ditto
Kobra - Predicting comic death by Cassie's hand.
Blaze - Furthering the above tangent, Daegon's death will be sensed by Blaze, who'll approach Taven to tell him the contest is off; Taven will fulfill his destiny and take Blaze out, putting the final nail in the coffin of the Armageddon battle, which we know we're already on the path to avoiding.
Onaga - The Kamidogu are already altered in some way; wagering something changed along Shujinko's path that will prevent the dragon king from ever awakening, or 'Damashi' was reducted to nothing somehow.
Sektor, possibly Cyrax - Sub-Zero already cleaning house during the comics.
Chameleon - Of the opinion he's the white ninja in the MK comics and is the fallen ally Kotal wants to avenge.
Reiko - Killed once Kotal comes back to take care of business.
Mileena - same, though I think she'll be on the run for a bit. I think she could last well into Story mode, but my gut tells me she's not going to make it through. I think Kitana might catch up with her.
Drahmin - likely dealt with by Quan just as he dealt with Moloch.
Sonya or Johnny - Probably Sonya so we get the hilarious result of Cage never dying once throughout the new timeline. Just don't see both of Cassie's folks making it all the way through.
Kano - bullet to the head courtesy Sonya or Cassie.
Quan Chi - Already considered 'In the past' after the Netherealm war. Probably doesn't make it halfway through Story mode.
Shinnok - ditto
Raiden - seems to already be going down a very dark path; this won't end well.
Kotal Khan - 'Rise and fall'.
Looking forward to coming back to this thread in a few months and seeing just how off-base I am.
I think you're off base with Quan Chi. NRS fucking loves Quan Chi. They'll keep him around purely for his necromancy/deus ex machina skills if nothing else.
