Sub-Zero is by far the most popular MK character. I mean people who have hardly ever played an MK game know this name. Scorpion isn't that far behind though. Liu Kang and Noob are very popular as well, and so are Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn. These are the characters MK is built upon and you can't throw them out and still says its MK. It simply ceases to be MK. What Boon and Co. said (that MK would go through a complete roster overhaul for the next MK game) when MKA was getting released back in '06 was never realistic for this reason. I'm glad they realized that in time to make MK9 the game it is.
As for MK10, of course most of the classics will have to return, say about 15 of them. They could bring back 6-7 characters from MK4/MKDA/MKD and top it off with 2-3 new characters. Around 25 characters seem good enough. Too many usually means all characters sacrificing depth.
I am more worried about the gameplay. The current system seems so great I'm a bit scared of what changes the next game would bring. I have never felt this for another MK game in the past.
To be honest MK doesn't need another game right now. MK9 still feels quite fresh. I wouldn't bring out MK10 before 2016 if I were Boon.
