Im wondering who the supposed "surprise antagonist" is going to be.

Now a lot of people where thinking Liu Kang would turn out to be the surprise baddy but honestly it doesn't add up and doesn't make sense for Liu to go against his vows and become evil, only reasoning I could see is Raiden messing up but even then it isn't enough for him to go full on villain over it.

Shinnok could be another possibility but according to the storyline he had already attempted an invasion on earthrealm and failed I guess. So I think it is very doubtful he will be the main antagonist, but I do believe he will play a large role in the story as either a behind the scenes villain or as a full on ally to the main antagonist.

The one person I could see being the main antagonist would be Onaga as a sort of surprise return and of course being that he is clearly evil fits perfectly into the role. Even more so as evidenced in the comics the kamidogou seem to be making an appearance for the first time in the new timeline.

Anyway that is my thoughts on the matter, we will just have to wait and see what Boon has in store for us.
