12 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2018's Biggest Movies

4. Nuidis Vulko - Aquaman

Why He Should Die: It's pretty much a given that someone close to Aquaman's going to die in his solo movie, and whose death would bring more gravity and weight to the story than Arthur Curry's stalwart scientific advisor, Nuidis Vulko, played by the brilliant Willem Dafoe?

Sure, they could go the cheap route of offing Aquaman's wife Mera or mother Atlanna, but there's something to be said for Curry losing his most respected confidante.

How He'll Die: At the hands of Black Manta or Aquaman's villainous half-brother Ocean Master are both likely, but either way, it's probably going to be the movie's big emotional moment.
