10 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2020's Biggest Movies

6. The Duke Of Oxford (Ralph Fiennes) - The King's Man

Recently-delayed prequel The King's Man is the third entry in the Kingsman franchise, and will chronicle how the titular organisation of gentleman spies was formed.

The simple fact that it's set roughly a century before the first two movies in the series means that it doesn't have any obligations in terms of furthering the modern-day Eggsy/Harry narrative, which also means that literally none of its characters need to survive the story (unless, of course, The King's Man ends up getting a direct sequel, but nothing has been announced at this time).

And the future doesn't look too bright for the Duke Of Oxford, played by Ralph Fiennes. The Duke is an experienced older mentor to a young Kingsman recruit, the exact same relationship shared by Harry and Eggsy in the main Kingsman movies. And what happened to Harry in the original film? He died. Sort of.

Plus, director Matthew Vaughn has a habit of killing off the biggest talent he casts in his movies - Colin Firth in Kingsman, Nicolas Cage in Kick-Ass, and even Jim Carrey in Kick-Ass 2, which Vaughn produced - a category that Fiennes neatly slots in to.
