10 Last-Minute Predictions For X-Men: Apocalypse

8. Apocalypse Kills Jubilee & Havok

The Prediction: The arrival of Apocalypse will surely mean the death of at least a few X-Men, so why not make it the debuting Jubilee and peripheral mainstay Havok?

Why It'll Happen: Many reviews so far have mentioned that Jubilee has a disappointingly small role, so her getting murdered by Apocalypse early on just makes sense. Plus, killing the cute young girl is an easy way to get sympathy from the audience.

As for Havok, he's been around for a few movies now, so he's familiar, but not especially important, particularly when compared to the likes of young Jean Grey, Nightcrawler and Cyclops, who absolutely won't be getting killed off in this one.

Basically, he's an expendable character and in the trailers we've seen him firing a blast from his chest during what seems to be a pivotal moment, so expect this to spark his downfall in some way.

Why It Might Not: There are, of course, a few other options: Beast's death would have a ton of emotional resonance, especially for Mystique, and Moira could certainly bite the bullet. There aren't a ton of other choices, though.
