2. Thanos

Not an Avenger, true, but I never said we were only including the heroes.

Look, Marvel has a tendency to kill off their villains at the end of every movie. Seriously, who’s left alive still? Abomination? Loki? Dormmamu? Zemo? Uh… Red Skull? Maybe? Is that really it? Look, the literal only reason for Thanos to not be killed off at the end of this film would be if they leave him alive to die in the sequel.

Thanos originally died when Adam Warlock stopped him from conquering the universe by turning him to stone. He was resurrected only to later be killed in vengeance by Drax the Destroyer. He came back yet again and got almost immediately frozen in limbo by his son, Thane. Then he got freed and then Dr. Doom annihilated him. But we aren’t done yet because Galactus accidentally brought him back to life and he went on a rampage and killed War Machine. And now he’s still running around.

Odds of death: 1 in 4.

1. Captain America

Who else was it gonna be?

If anyone is going to be buried six feet under with a big A-shaped gravestone after Infinity War, it is one hundred percent going to be Captain America. He’s the Avengers’ biggest figure, and his death would be iconographically tragic. Plus, we have both Bucky “Winter Soldier” Barnes and The Falcon waiting around to pick up that shield once Steve drops it. Rogers has died multiple times in the comics, most famously when he was shot in the shoulder and stomach after Civil War. But that’s not the death I want to focus on. No, that death, quickly reversed as it was, is from Infinity Gauntlet.

In the story, Thanos uses all of the gems to piece together the Infinity Gauntlet, and then goes on a murder spree. All of the best Marvel heroes join together to stop him, but Thanos kills them all. As the last man left standing, Steve calmly strides across the battlefield, gets face-to-face with Thanos, and…talks to him. Cap gives a stunningly great speech about how Thanos will never truly triumph as long as one man stands against him. And then Thanos kills him. As far as endings go, that’s a pretty darn solid one.

Odds of death: 1 in 2

And there you go. Those are my odds. Could be right, could be wrong. We’ll see. And being surprised is half the fun!
