10 Most Brutal Deaths In MCU History

This founding member of the Avengers checks out at the halfway point of the team's grand finale. A trip to Vormir with best bud Hawkeye quickly goes south when Red Skull informs them of the blood sacrifice the Soul Stone demands.

What follows is among the most emotional scenes in the history of the MCU, with Barton and Romanoff fighting over who will lay down their life for the other.

Getting the better of her longtime friend, Nat leaps free of Hawkeye's grip and plummets to her death. The final visual we get of the character is her broken body down below, a pool of blood visible from the fall's impact. Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner remind us of their acting chops with this scene, turning it into a gut wrenching moment. Not the most violent death on this list, it cements it place as 1 of the most brutal courtesy of its emotional impact.

Thanks to her sacrifice, everyone returns, but Nat herself is absent from the final battle - and unlike Iron Man, we never see a funeral to commemorate her passing. A sad and poignant closing chapter for the character.
