I have no doubts that Liu Kang and Jax will be in the game, but they don't have to be playable. And really, they shouldn't be. We've already gotten many hints about Jax from Boon on Twitter, a few obvious ones, and the comic shows him training with another black girl (presumably his daughter). I would much rather have his daughter as playable and Jax can just be part of the story.

As for Liu Kang, I personally think that his role can be adequately fulfilled by the returning Kung Lao, or any other new character. I can't see him being back as playable. Who knows though, maybe NRS will go that route just to satisfy the fanboys. Not that I know of many Liu Kang fanboys out there.
