Avengers 4: 11 Things It Must Avoid

9. Heimdall, Loki, Gamora Or Vision Are Saved

There were surprisingly few major characters killed outside of Thanos' finger snap, with only Heimdall (Idris Elba), Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Vision (Paul Bettany) actually biting the bullet.

However, it remains to be seen whether or not these deaths will also be reversed alongside all the dustings, and given how much the MCU struggles with making death actually mean something, it'd be a shame if these four deaths were also undone.

Death has to be permanent at some point or it just undermines the overall stakes, and keeping these four characters dead would at least compensate a little for the climactic deaths inevitably being reversed at the end of Avengers 4.

Will It Happen?: This could go a number of different ways, but it seems likely that Heimdall will definitely stay dead, and Thanos saying "no resurrections this time" after killing Loki seemed like a fourth wall-breaking wink at the audience indicating he wouldn't be coming back either.

Vision could go either way, while by far the most likely character to be revived is Gamora, given her frontline status as a Guardian of the Galaxy and her quasi-relationship with Star-Lord (Chris Pratt).

It'd be mighty brave to keep Gamora dead for good, but it doesn't seem particularly likely.
