According to a recent interview, Ed Boon bought up Johnny Cage and Sonya's interaction with Cassie Cage in MKX

Ed Boon did confirm their appearances, although it isn't clear if Johnny Cage and Sonya will be playable or not! But... they could very well be 2 out of the 8 remaining classic playable characters. I mean, think about it... What we have as playable, classic characters so far are all Mortal Kombat 1 characters... Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden and Kano. Johnny Cage and Sonya are two iconic and original characters from MK1 as well! We've had many tweets from Ed Boon about Johnny Cage and Sonya, pretty much since MKX was announced!

Now, I bet you're thinking, what's the point of having Cassie Cage, if Johnny and Sonya could become playable?

Well, for one thing, here is an idea I thought of to differ Johnny from his daughter. What if the MK Team made Johnny's MK9 ending come true? A Seido/Realm of Order Johnny Cage, with his powers being more mystical, yet still maintaining his classic moves? Same with Sonya! Cassie Cage kinda has her own style compared to her parents. She uses guns, missiles and knight sticks in battle, unlike Sonya, and Cassie has her bubble-gum as a gimmick! Based off of what we've seen so far, here is what she is missing from her parents...

Johnny Cage - Shadow Kick (Ground) (Cassie has a shadow uppercut, nor red shadow kicks) Green Bolts, Plasmic Bolts. Cassie has a nut punch, but it's using a knight stick. Johnny does it with his bare hands!

Sonya - Energy Rings, Deadly Kiss, Leg Grab, Kartwheel Kick (Sonya's Kartwheel kick is flipping forward, not backwards like Cassie.)

"We are adding a lot of new blood to the characters" Which could mean that they can make new powers and original moves for returning characters... that's just what I'm guessing. And that's already taken effect... Kano is more upgraded than ever, Raiden now has lightning traps, Sub-Zero can now throw his Ice Clones AT you. Scorpion has a demon to hold you down, he can summon a demon to kick you from the air! So, if all of that can happen to the classic characters... he can do the same for Johnny and Sonya, add new moves and make them different from their daughter!

SPOILER! The German Magazine that leaked Kano also mentioned Johnny Cage and Sonya having three different styles in the game, just like the rest of the characters! http://testyourmight.com/threads/new-info-from-german-gamepro-translated.45193/

I personally see no problem of having Johnny Cage and Sonya as playable characters, not because Johnny Cage is my favorite, but because they are legendary, iconic and original characters, just like the classic characters in MKX so far! They also made Johnny and Sonya badasses and some of the most-played characters in the game.

Again, all of this is from my biased opinions. What do you think?
