10 Predictions For 2017's Most Iconic Movie Deaths

10. Maurice - War For The Planet Of The Apes

The climactic third installment of the rebooted Planet of the Apes franchise is sure to feature at least one devastating ape death, and considering how close Caesar (Andy Serkis) came to dying in the previous movie, it seems unlikely he'll actually go out a martyr at the climax of this one.

Instead, it's more probable that the heart and soul of the series, kindly orangutan Maurice (Karin Konoval), will be the one to fall, in a moment that's damn sure to have audiences wiping tears away and cheering on Caesar's subsequent final stand against the humans.

One one hand, it has the potential to be dramatically incredible, but on the other, it'll be extremely wrenching seeing Maurice die. Bring tissues to be safe, especially if early reviews use descriptors like "heartbreaking" and "emotional".
