I noticed a few interesting and peculiar things in the video...

Chiefly, I noticed a minimum of six characters (Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Baraka, Mileena, Ermac, (possible) Siobhan) and as many as eight, counting the possibility of Nightwolf and another character resembling Sub-Zero.

So far from Midway we have three TRULY confirmed characters: Baraka, Mileena, and Ermac, although it's safe to assume from the video Scorpion and Sub-Zero are there as well.

Things I noticed...

Going into Scorpion's stage fatality against Baraka, can anyone explain the green glowing square? Could this be a new feature added to excecuting fatalities, like the Fatality stance from MKDA?

Who is the person Sub-Zero is fighting in thisimage? He appears in other scenes but it was only until I saw him pitted against Sub that I realized he could be another character. Is he a new character, or just a mirror or alternate costume of Sub?

Who is the blonde-haired girl with the white hat? Is it indeed Siobhan?

Where do we stand on weapons and multiple stances? Mileena appears several times with her sais but I also remember seeing her without them. I also saw a red ninja character holding what appeared to be an axe. Is this proof of weapon-based combat like in SC, or multiple stances?

First of all, I didn't know Ermac was confirmed... can anyone else say its confirmed?

Second of all, I think the green square in the middle of the stage is where you have to combo your opponent from in order to knock them into the pit... some kind of air juggle combo.

Third, I'm pretty sure the character sub is doing the fatality on is Scorpion, in the process of being frozen.

Just my thoughts

I'm sorry, I didn't care.

The screenshot of the red character on his own, holding a weapon, looks as though he may be about to perform a weapon fatality of some kind. The floor is visible, but the rest of the stage is blanked out, like a fatality in progress. Its a possibility, especially seeing as they were added to MKTE.

Under the announcement with the original trailer and pictures from Gamespot, on this site, we got an update from an "anonymous source within Midway" confirming it is Ermac.

The glowing green square seems to be used for stage fatalities, since most of the stages seen in the preview has had these.

The person fighting Sub-Zero is Scorpion being frozen. You can tell from the costume it's him.
