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

4. Mary Lou - Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

In the upcoming Harry Potter spin-off movie, Samantha Morton plays a character described as "the narrow-minded No-Maj and sinister leader of the New Salem Philanthropic Society (the NSPS, or "The Second-Salemers"), an extremist group whose goals include exposing and killing wizards and witches." Basically, then, she's the big bad of the film - a super racist and all-round terrible person, set to make life hell for new protagonist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). Chances are, then, that ol' Mary Lou - positioned as the film's villain - will be met with a rather terrible death as the film moves in its final act. J.K. Rowling penned the screenplay for Fantastic Beasts, after all, and she's certainly no stranger to gruesome death. Surely sending a detestable character like Mary Lou to her doom during the climax of the flick is an absolute given? Somebody will have to die, and she's the most likely candidate of all.
