We've got Cassie, Takeda, Jaqui and Kung Jin who's returns are certain. Kai may or may not exist in the second timeline, but I think he'd be welcomed. Dairou and Darrius could work if they exist in the new timeline, personally I'd welcome them. Cyrax might still exist inside Triborg, but this also means Sektor could still be alive. Fujiin is alive and well. Bo Rai Cho's status is unknown. Technically, characters like Kai have to exist in the new timeline. Plus, I would rather see Dairou as more of a neutral-good kind of character. So, here's the thing about retired characters. They are only retired for as long as there's no huge threat. Give someone a reason, an ultimatum, no more to lose, and a cookie they'll come out of retirement. So here's the living heroes.

Johnny, Sonya, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Jax, Fujin, Kai, Sareena, Sheeva (depending on her attitude), Bo' Rai Cho (whereabouts unknown), Dairou, Darrius, Frost (depending on Sub-Zero's discipline), Kenshi, Li Mei, and Shujinko.

We also don't know about the characters from the Kahnum whether they'll fight for good or evil. That could be a good amount added. We also don't know the fate of Noob Saibot. He could have been cleansed by the soulnado in MK9 or killed and just right back to where he started as a wraith.

As far as Cyrax and Sektor go, my theory is that they'll both make an appearance in the Netherrealm as revenants and in their human forms whereas Triborg will end up being a canon character with multiple personalities and evil.
