Avengers 5: Predicting Which Marvel Character Will Be Next To Die

3. Black Knight

Jon Snow With Longclaw In Game Of Thrones

Black Knight isn't a character who has actually been introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet, so is it too soon to be thinking about killing him off? Dane Whitman is the latest wielder of the Ebony Blade in a long line of heroes and villains known as the Black Knight, and in the Eternals movie coming out next year, Kit Harington will be bringing him to life on the big screen.

Both he and Sersi are expected to join The Avengers, and after spending years working on Game of Thrones, it wouldn't be remotely surprising for the English actor to only want to make a brief, but memorable, impact on this shared world (similar to Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Avengers: Age of Ultron).

Making fans fall in love with the character, only to snatch him away isn't all that different to what Marvel Studios did to Agent Coulson, and Black Knight's death could help open the door to an alliance between The Avengers and Eternals which ultimately ensures they team up to save the universe.
