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

9. Packard & Randa - Kong: Skull Island

STAR WARS RIP
Warner Bros.

Why They Should Die

They're corporate men in an ecology anxiety film, what else do you think is going to happen to them?

Thinking of the model put forth by Jurassic Park, John Goodman's Randa is the Hammond type, driven by a misplaced desire to capture nature's magic (in the book Hammond died), and Packard appears to be the Muldoon type - a military leader who is fully aware of the potential threat who dies anyway.

How They'll Die

Eaten by the nastier monsters on Skull Island as a morality tale against the over-reaching hand of humanity. Obviously as the villains of the piece it would be nice to see both smushed by Kong personally, but he's an anti-hero and it might be a little much to turn him straight murderer too quickly.
