Well, using "deductive reasoning," it will be either Raleigh or Ruby. Why? Because Clockwerk has been confirmed, the official description for the movie mentions the lush mountains of China and Muggshot is an important enough character to appear in two games and a short. Does that mean Muggshot has to be in the movie? No, of course not, especially if Sony is not planning for a second or third movie, but I would say that he's "fresh" enough in Sly fans' minds for Rainmaker not to remove him.

Who is more likely to be cut, Raleigh or Ruby? I would say that they're both as likely, with Ruby being creepy enough to be memorable and Raleigh being the first boss of the series to be just as, if not more, memorable.

The problem with Raleigh is that he is one of the only bosses in the series that was not "humanized" (weird word to use). Muggshot was a bullied kid who turned to crime to get back at those bullies, Ruby was similar and the Panda King was kicked out of the firework business due to being and looking poor. We obviously know very little about Clockwerk, so I can't really say he's humanized, just really evil and awesome. I could go into the second, third and even fourth games, but I think I've made my point. Raleigh was just a snooty blue-blood that was bored of his life of luxury, so one day while sailing in his yacht he attacked a passing cruise ship and became a pirate. He's just a jerk, not someone to feel bad for.
