X-Men: Apocalypse - Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies

10. Psylocke

Fox

Why She Could Live: Psylocke is a major player in the X-Men, but more importantly in the X-Force. It€™s understandable that Fox is going to want to take every opportunity to tie the hugely-successful Deadpool into the X-Men franchise and Psylocke could be the way to do it. Their mutual presence on the X-Force could help strengthen the continuity of the X-Men universe, even if it means having to age the character in the present day or simply having them be members at different times.

It also seems weird to use a character of this magnitude from the comics as a lackey for the villain and then kill them off without allowing her to do much. There€™s plenty of lesser characters that could have served in the role if their sole purpose was to help Apocalypse and then die.

Why She Could Die: Despite her standing in the comics, in the films, she doesn€™t mean much to the average viewer. Her death could easily be a casualty of war that makes it apparent the good guys aren€™t taking any prisoners. In that case, her death wouldn€™t have any huge ramifications to the future of the X-Men universe and that just might be enough to make her expendable in such a crowded film.
