X-Men: Apocalypse - Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies
8.Jean Grey, Cyclops And Nightcrawler
Why They Could Live: If Fox is truly intent on starting a new line of films using Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler as the main characters, logic would dictate that they need to be kept alive. These are premier X-Men and some of the most recognizable characters in the lexicon, making them each hard to kill after just one film. Beyond thatlot of these characters deserve to be kept alive and given another chance on film.
Cyclops is the future leader of the X-Men, alive and well in Days Of Future Past, and desperately needs to be redeemed for his terrible death in The Last Stand. Jean Grey, also present in Days Of Future Past, similarly needs a do-over in regards to how the Phoenix Saga was handled. Keeping her alive to fulfill that massive story properly seems essential. For Nightcrawler, although absent in the future, his under-utilisation after his excellentappearancein X2would almost necessitate his survival;surely Singer wouldn't make the mistake of wasting him again.
Each characterhas multiple compelling reasons to stay alive, and it's hard to imagine killing any one of the three when they all have so much potential and need for redemption.
Why They Could Die:Erm... literally no reason. These are the new faces of the X-Men, the characters which a new franchise is going to be built on. Theyre not going to die or the X-Men films will have proven to have learned nothing from the previous movies' mistakes.
Prediction: Become the future stars of the X-Men franchise.
