10 Most Shocking Movie Deaths Of 2022

10. Duke Cody - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

The marketing for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery did a fantastic job of concealing even the basic particulars of its narrative, enough that most probably assumed that the victim at the center of its murder-mystery would be Elon Musk-esque tech-bro Miles Bron (Edward Norton).

So quite a surprise it was, then, when at the end of the movie's first act, the victim is actually the most physically capable member of the entire assembled party - streamer and men's rights activist Duke Cody (Dave Bautista).

After accidentally drinking from Miles' glass, Duke drops down dead, having apparently consumed poison that was actually intended for Miles.

But of course, it's revealed at the end of the story that Miles himself switched glasses with Duke and intentionally poisoned him with pineapple - which he is deathly allergic to - after Duke found out that Miles was responsible for killing Andi (Janelle Monáe) and then tried to blackmail him over it.

It's a brilliantly devious sleight of hand all in all, and hopefully Rian Johnson will hoodwink us all over again with the already-confirmed third movie.
