Now that we've had our Nintendo Direct, it looks like people are already starting to read into as much Mii information as they can find.
So first of all, this is confirmation of a Find Mii stage. I have to mention that, as the initial screenshot left a lot of room for doubt.
The presence of an un-outlined Mii in the cage is not in itself a deconfirmation of Miis being playable. But it does appear to deconfirm the cage itself as being a stage gimmick. We won't be having any players trapped in the cage.
It is worth discussing any potential reasons why the Mii was not in its cage in the initial screenshot. It COULD be the same deal as Toon Link in his own stage, where playing as a Mii removes the Mii in the background. It could also be that the Mii is freed from the cage at some point, then potentially re-trapped, creating a pseudo narrative for the stage (like how the moon falls in Termina Bay, only to be pushed back by the four giants).
Every stage appears to have its own icon, or the icon of its representative series if it has one. Mario stages get a Mario icon, Kid Icarus stages get a Kid Icarus icon, etc. So if Miis are playable, it makes sense for every Mii stage to use the same icon.
Find Mii's stage uses the Crown icon, which seems very specific as an icon that represents Miis. It also clashes a little with how the Pilotwings stage uses its own logo, instead of some kind of Mii logo. However, that could be because Pilotwings is considered its own series, rather than a Mii series (because only the most recent release uses Miis).
Thus the stage icons are not currently a deconfirmation of Miis being playable.
The Pilotwings stage still has no Miis populating the island. This is particularly noticeable during the fly by of the Duel platform and the main plaza. As previously mentioned this could be an indication that this is not considered a Mii stage.
So that leaves the Tamodatchi stage; the only Mii related stage not to show up in the Direct, and also the only stage whose icon we've yet to see.
One final relevant point that the Nintendo Direct has made; Customisable movesets are a thing, but any character's moveset can be customised. If Miis will be playable, it appears they will have a set moveset like the rest of the cast.
