10 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2016's Biggest Movies

6. At Least Four Out Of The Seven - The Magnificent Seven

When you've got a movie consisting of seven characters, all of whom get caught up in a huge, relentless gun battle in the wild west, there's not a lot riding on all seven characters making it home once all the shooting has stopped, is there? Antoine Fuqua's upcoming remake of The Magnificent Seven (in itself a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai) stars Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lee Byung-hun, Luke Grimes and Peter Sarsgaard as the titular seven, and you better believe that the only survivors are likely to be made up of those first three actors - you know, the Hollywood A-listers whose faces will put butts into seats. In the original Magnificent Seven film, only three of the seven main characters make it through to the last scene alive - the remake isn't going to settle for any less. More than likely, only one or two heroes will be left alive. Or maybe it'll be super bleak and they'll all perish. The film is written by True Detective's Nic Pizzolatto, after all - you never know.
