11 Characters Who Will Probably Die In 2017's Biggest TV Shows
10. Stick - The Defenders
Why He'll Die
Stick has been both fighting the Hand - as leader of the Chaste - for decades, and he's also spent a lot of his time being a mentor to Matt Murdock as well. The two collided in Daredevil Season 2, with the mysterious ninjas showing up, and they'll be back for The Defenders.
We know that Stick will be there too, and he's a character the mini-series could kill off to add weight, without removing any key supporting players for future standalone series. With a final battle against the Hand, Stick - who is in his 90s - will have served his purpose to Matt, and can go out in style.
How It'll Happen
Probably around the mid-point of the Defenders, he'll die fighting the Hand. Although still capable, he's not a young man anymore, and his age will eventually tell in battle against them.
It means he gets to go out in combat against his greatest enemy, and further fuel Matt's sense of loss which should then contribute to an adaptation (of sorts) of the Born Again storyline in Daredevil Season 3.
