You mean like an unplayable boss character, or simply as a NPC who appears later in story mode? Well, I'm almost sure it's been confirmed that her soul will appear in story mode, though under unkown conditions. She could appear as a wraith, like all the other good characters who died in MK9; her soul could appear to Kitana (when Kitana isn't a wraith anymore) and talk to her, most likely telling her that she couldn't be ressurected and instead is in heaven now.

But I wouldn't expect her to be the big bad. I guess the big bad would be either a boss or sub-boss we already know, and it's been confirmed that he/she isn't Goro. I thought Shinnok was going to be the actual boss of the game, but from what other users have said, Boon prefers that the boss is an unplayable character, and usually bigger than the normal characters too. Don't know if that's only his preference or the way it's actually going to be, but if that's what's going to happen, this boss not only isn't any character that has been revealed until now, but should be the big bad as well.

For now I have no idea of who could it be. Shao Kahn won't return, and Onaga or Blaze popping up in the game would make things even more complicated. I'm saying this because the story mode is a mess already: first there's Shinnok trying to poison the Jinsei (which we had never even heard of before), then the undead characters are ressurected, a civil war begins in Outworld and Shinnok's amulet appears out of the nowhere... imagine if Onaga or Blaze, who also have nothing to do with what's happening, appear too.

In fact, this "big bad" character who NRS said they'd bring back could be Liu Kang, who wouldn't be the boss of the game, of course. That doesn't help to solve the mystery of who the final boss is going to be, but I think Liu Kang is the most probable character to be the big bad.
