Sorry, but I laughed so much when you compared the old Johnny Cage to Van Damm. Not that it's a ridiculous hypotesis at all, I think that if he was back he would be either looking like George Clooney or the old badass fighter-actor, like you said. I just would never be able to compare Cage to Van Damm. And also when you said "Hsu Hao (cameo, but he'll be killed off)" just like "Let's put this asshole in the game just to make sure he's dead once and for all".

I guess it all points out to Liu Kang becoming an antagonist (not like the other bad guys, but just being against Raiden, like you suggested). Maybe they've even made him "evil" in Legacy just to give us a hint about how he will be in this game (just a theory). After all, he's the guy who can't stay out of MK for too long, not even if he's killed. If there's one thing I'm sure about is how they're showing his selfish and arrogant side in this alternate timeline rather than the always good dragon hero we've seen in all other games. Imagine him coming back with that dark personality we've seen in Legacy plus those horrible scars and blind eye from MK9. The fallen dragon warrior. Damn, even if I had to get him as a DLC, I'd really like to play with him like that.

There's something else I've been thinking about, and I was even thinking of creating a new topic about this in the talk page: what happened to Shinnok (sorry if I mispelled his name)? There he was, with Quan Chi, saying "Let's attack both Earthrealm and Outworld now that both of them are weakened. It's the perfect opportunity!". Now we're 25 years in the future and apparently no sign of a Netherrealm menace after Shao Kahn's one. Was that at the end of MK 9 just a reference to the invasion in MK 4 or would they really attack in the alternative timeline too? Because I'd really like to have him back with Quan Chi and see they do that. Well, with Shinnok as a villain or not, I really don't think Quan Chi will be out of MK X. I guess everyone agrees that he was awesome in MK 9, right?

But anyway, would it be possible that Shinnok found a good reason to attack Earthrealm and Outworld 25 years later, or the game will have another villain? Obviously, Kotal Kahn isn't the major antagonist, since he isn't a boss character (although I don't think we should expect anything good from him), but if he's really the new emperor of Outworld, don't you think it would make sense that he would try to protect his realm from Shinnok? That would be a good reason for him to be in the game as a non-boss character. Maybe even a temporary alliance between he and Raiden against Shinnok is formed, but like I said, I don't trust that he'll be doing anything good in this game, so could it even be something like Earthrealm X Netherrealm X Outworld? Well, I really have no idea.
