8. New Characters
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4PP8qu1jOs MK9 reset the MK Universe while maintaining the cast from the first trilogy as well as cult favourites (Quan Chi, Kenshi) and characters of accidental legend (such as Skarlet). However, fans are hoping that MKX is not just a rehash or retelling of the original MK4 given the fact that the ending of MK9 revealed Shinnok's plans to invade Earth Realm. While it's a solid fact that most of the principle characters will be returning along with former fighters that didn't make the cut last time, fans are eager to see something fresh in the presence of a few new warriors. One character that could easily make an appearance after being mentioned several times could be the former ruler of Edenia; Kitana's father King Jerrod. Jerrod has never even been featured in a cutscene, but definitely has a place in MK lore, making the transition from a deceased king into a new fighter an easy one. With the impending invasion of the Netherrealm at hand, perhaps a resurrection is in order?
