2. Captain America Dies - Avengers: Infinity War

At least one major character is surely going to die in Avengers: Infinity War, and though the newly-released trailer shows Spider-Man and Iron Man taking a severe beatdown from Thanos, this is likely to distract from the fact that Captain America will be the one to die at the Mad Titan's hands.

While it's entirely possible the Eye of Agamotto will be used to resurrect him in the next Avengers movie, using Cap's demise as a devastating cliffhanger does seem incredibly likely, especially as he was widely expected to die in Captain America: Civil War.

Plus, Chris Evans is reportedly eager to get more directing under his belt and Cap dying would open up the mantle for Bucky to take over the role, which sounds like a pretty fantastic way to keep the character's legacy going.

Though few members of the Avengers lineup are safe, Cap is surely the most likely candidate to lose his life as Infinity War concludes.
