DCEU: 10 Characters Most Likely To Die (And The Movies They'll Die In)

Movie She'll Die In: Aquaman

Why Is It Likely? As of last January, actress Nicole Kidman was in talks to join the solo Aquaman movie as Atlanna, the title character's mother.

No official casting announcement has been made yet, but if Atlanna is indeed present in the movie, we're guessing she won't make it out alive.

For starters, Atlanna has a pretty rough time in the comics. Upon meeting lighthouse keeper Thomas Curry, the two fall in love and have a baby, Arthur, but the mother dies during childbirth.

She dies in the Post-Crisis storyline too, after giving birth to a blonde-haired child (which is considered an ill-omen), leading to her imprisonment and death due to sickness.

Guardians/parents dying is also something a lot of hero movies have in common. Both Man Of Steel and Batman v Superman featured such a scene, and there's a strong possibility Aquaman will do something similar at some point during its runtime.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
