10 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2016's Biggest Movies
5. Doomsday - Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
Now that everybody has been made aware that Doomsday will be a part of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it seems pretty safe to suggest that this secondary villain - one assumedly "created" in a lab by main villain Lux Luthor using the body of General Zod - won't survive the events of the film. We know that Doomsday will end up fighting against Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, after all - at least, that's what will happen according to the trailer. It doesn't seem like this genetic freak of a bad guy has a real shot at making it through with all his limbs still attached: they're going to tear the poor guy apart, no matter how powerful he is. That's to say that Doomsday isn't the sort of villain who gets to come back for the sequel; he's a crazed monster - one who has to be born and destroyed in a single narrative arc - because the DC Cinematic Universe - big as it is about to come - ain't that big.
