15 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2017's Biggest Movies

3. Captain Salazar (And Maybe Barbossa) - Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge

STAR WARS RIP
Disney

Why He Should Die

Thinking purely narratively, Salazar cannot have any longevity: he's on a murderous mission of vengeance that has escalated to the point that he and his monstrous pirate horde are coming for Sparrow. You know, like in the first POTC film. And the second one.

The end of this arc has to see either pursuer or pursuee vanquished.

And in a straight shoot between him and Captain Sparrow, there can be only one victor, and since Salazar isn't the pole on which Disney hang a billion dollar franchise, it's probably not going to be him.

How He'll Die

Since he's dead but still walking around, it would make sense that Salazar would become the object of Davey Jones' attention. And since Orlando Bloom is coming back after a film away, all of the pieces are in place to see Captain Salazar dragged back to the locker.
