Now, for my own thoughts, I think Reiko is definitely having a chance to become the boss. He would definitely be a surprise returning character, and he is the mastermind of the whole Mileena faction.

Shinnok is too unsurprising, and let's face it, his whole role in the story is just too small to get him as final boss for 25 years.

I don't see the final boss being playable, so for me Raiden is out of the question. So is Quan Chi.

Shao Kahn is among Ermac, which basically deconfirms him as the final boss(for me).

A thought that crossed my mind was Goro. He's DLC, so he isn't playable normally. He's the right size for a final boss. And we know that the story is gonna have the downfall of Kotal Kahn, so perhaps Goro could take over after him as emperor. Yeah, I can see why you might think Cyrax is deconfirmed but again think of the Frost remark and know that Boon is a troll. I'll update the list to Jade not being a candidate.

Good thought on Reiko. Did you think about Mileena becoming the boss? We haven't had a female boss yet. Not that it's necessary but it would be a surprise being that we've never had a female boss yet.

I agree about Shinnok. Plus, he kinda sucks honestly as far as his role in the games.

Why wouldn't the final boss be playable? Sure, the last game didn't allow us to play as Shao Kahn (with the acception of the PC version) but other games have allowed us to play as the final boss.

What if Ermac actually gets overwhelmed by Shao Kahn's soul, takes over, and becomes the final boss. I don't think we can shut him down yet.

Love the thought on Goro. I think if he kills Kotal he'll definitely take over the throne after that.
