X-Men: Apocalypse - 9 Major Characters Who Could Die

If you're introducing probably the greatest foe that the X-Men mutants have ever known, you can bet there are going to be a fair few fatalities. And if you can almost definitively say Professor Xavier and his new recruits are going to make it through to the end, you have to look elsewhere for potential casualties, to those who might not appear so consequential.

One such character is Psylocke, played by Olivia Munn. Munn is a newcomer to the franchise, and Psylocke isn't exactly such a 'name' for the uninitiated that audiences will riot should she exit the series early. At present, Psylocke appears to be - like Quicksilver in Days Of Future Past - a side-character included for her cool skills alone.

Expect Psylocke to be more like Bishop, Blink and Sunspot in Days, all of whom were deemed so perfunctory they were killed before the end. Of course, they had the magic of timeline-alteration to bring them back - there will be no such luxury for inessential side-characters like Psylocke in Apocalypse.
