X-Men: Apocalypse - Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies

Why He Could Live: Quicksilver was the breakout hit of Days Of Future Past. His slow-motion sequence was rightfully praised and from the looks of the trailers, this time out he€™s going to have a beefed-up role. It€™s always hard to kill a fan favourite and doing so with Quicksilver would just scream as unnecessary.

What€™s more is the diversity he brings to the action. His super-speed allows for some massively creative visuals, which Bryan Singer is clearly enjoying using. It would seema waste to have a resource that could make set pieces unique, only to kill him off and remove the potential for that occurring.

Why He Could Die: We saw a Quicksilver die before over on the Marvel side of things, proving that his reckless attitude and heart of gold may not make for the safest of combinations. He inspired other heroes with his death over there and his popularstatus could easily give his death a ton of resonance with the other characters.

Although unlikely, it€™s also possible there€™s some sort of informal arrangement between Fox and Marvel. There was clearly tension about both parties using the same character and maybe they agreed to resolve it by having them both quickly kill him off.

Prediction: Too beloved to kill, too fast to die.
