There are 77 playable fighters in the Mortal Kombat franchise, more than enough for developers to choose from.
It is also possible that more characters could be added after the game's release in the form of DLC, if it is particularly successful. Mortal Kombat is a popular and iconic series, after all, and fans will likely want to see their favorite characters in the game as well as regular post-launch updates.
