Your wildest nightmares come true when you realise Thanos, the mad titan has begun killing the known faces from MCU’s previous movies in his quest to achieve the six infinity stones (Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Soul, and Time) even before the title Avengers: Infinity War has showcased on the screen. The 19th film of Marvel Cinematic Universe is compared to Red Wedding by fans and for a reason. In fact, the bloodbath, the sheer massacre in Avengers 3 will leave you gasping for air. We never imagined such a climax from directors, the Russo Brothers but like Thanos warned us all in the trailer - ‘In time you will know what it’s like to lose.’

List of Superheroes Who Died in Avengers: Infinity War

1. Black Panther / T'Challa – Chadwick Boseman

King T’Challa aka the beloved Black Panther was among the characters who perishes in Thanos’ crazy wiping-out-half-the-universe programme. Chadwick Boseman who plays Black Panther in his final scene was seen reaching out to Okoye (Danai Gurira) and to our horror evaporates into thin air. This was quite a shocker considering Black Panther was one superhero every Marvel fan has been going gaga over since the blockbuster reception of the recently stand-alone movie.

2. Spider-Man/ Peter Parker – Tom Holland

One death that will haunt the entire neighbourhood and especially Tony Stark aka Iron Man (Rober Downey Jr.) will be that of Spider-Man! Yes, Spider-Man aka Peter Parker, Avengers’ newest and youngest recruit died in arms of Iron Man, who was a father figure to him. While everyone was evaporating without much of reactions, Spidey gave out stomach-churning last-minute feels. He complained Tony of feeling uneasy before breathing his last.

3. Doctor Strange – Benedict Cumberbatch

“There was no other way,” these were the last words of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) as he turned into dust just like the others from Avengers and Guardians of Galaxy. However, the last words of wisdom from Sorcerer Supreme of Earth’s Universe has inclined that maybe all is not lost in the Infinity War as he had previously seen numerous versions of the future and claimed to see them emerge victorious in one.

4. Loki – Tom Hiddleston

Loki has died several times before, or let’s say faked his death on previous occasions but in Avengers: Infinity War he is dead for real! Tom Hiddleston who portrays the character of anti-villain, Loki Odinson was choked to death by Thanos. Yes, you simply rubbed your eyes in disbelief as the space warlord brutally killed 2012's Avengers villain, the God of Mischief, Loki Odinson in front of Thor. After killing off Loki, Thanos crumbled Tesseract and obtained the Space Stone, the blue-coloured infinity stone and put it in his golden Infinity Gauntlet. This was his second infinity gem after already possessing the Power Stone.

5. Gamora – Zoe Saldana

The conspiracy theorists predicted the death of Gamora before the release of Avengers: Infinity War, and it turned out to be absolutely right. However, the manner in which Gamora, played by Zoe Saldana dies left us with so much of rage and questions, of course. Gamora was killed by Thanos, her adoptive father (he became her stepfather by killing Gamora’s parents when she was a child) in order to obtain the Soul Stone on the planet of Vormir.

6. Star-Lord / Peter Quill – Chris Pratt

One death that absolutely cheered me up (hopefully more like me) was that of Star-Lord aka Peter Quill (Chris Pratt). He deserves my wrath for the man was responsible for squandering the one golden opportunity to have Thanos under control and remove his doomsday bringing infinity gauntlet. But thanks to Peter Quill’s emotional outburst, everything was undone.

List of Other Characters Whose Deaths in Avengers: Infinity War Left Us Shocked

7. Heimdall – Idris Elba

Heimdall, the Asgardian gatekeeper who could see and hear almost everything across Nine Realms was the first one to be killed by Thanos before the eyes of Thor, his best friend and God of Thunder. Idris Elba who played Heimdall was stabbed in the chest by Thanos as he sacrificed his life to do his one last good deed – rescue Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and teleport him back to earth by accessing Bifrost for one last time!

8. Vision – Paul Bettany

Vision was always going to die for the invention of Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Thor, Jarvis and Vision Stone had an infinity stone right on his forehead and Thanos and his children, the Black Order in his pursuit. We saw Paul Bettany, the actor who plays Vision survive multiple attacks by Children of Thanos. Then, Vision begged for death by convincing the love of his life, Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) to destroy the stone along with him in order to not let it fall in Thanos' hands. However, Vision meets his brutal end at the hands of Thanos who alters time and extracts the Vision stone from his head.

9. Winter Soldier / Bucky Barnes – Sebastian Stan

After killing Vision and obtaining the Vision Stone, Thanos completed his collection of all six stones. A second later, we saw Thor attack Thanos with Stormbreaker, his new weapon and struck him in the chest. But our joys remained short-lived for The Mad Titan snapped his finger and wiped out half the universe. Fans first realised the result of Thanos’ apocalyptic act after Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier turned into ashes in front of his buddy Steve Rogers.

10. Scarlet Witch / Wanda Maximoff – Elizabeth Olsen

Scarlet Witch fended off Children of Thanos, the Black Order during the faceoff between good and bad but she too could not survive the genocide brought in by the Mad Titan. Right after the death of his romantic interest Vision’s death, Wanda also perishes.

11. Falcon / Sam Wilson – Anthony Mackie

Apart from Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie’s Falcon was another candidate rumoured to become the next Captain America after the expiration of Chris Evans’ contract with MCU. However, both could not survive the attack unleashed by Thanos on the earth.

12. Teen Groot – Vin Diesel

The entire time of Avengers: Infinity War, we saw teen Groot engrossed in playing video games, but the cute anthropomorphic tree-man helped Thor yield his new war weapon, Stormbreaker. Unlike his previous appearances in Guardians of Galaxy Vol.1 and Guardians of Galaxy Vol. 2, we did not hear much of ‘I am Groot!’ and probably will not be hearing in near future as Thanos apocalyptic attack burnt him down to ashes.

13. Mantis – Pom Klementieff

"We kick names and take ass!" Yes, these are the words cute and sweet Mantis played by actress Pom Klementieff. She first appeared in Guardians of Galaxy Vol. 2 and became a part of the pack. In Avengers: Infinity War, Mantis along with Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Drax and Star-Lord had got Thanos under their control till Quill blew up their chance. In the end, she was also annihilated by Thanos’ final attack on the universe.

14. Drax the Destroyer – Dave Bautista

We saw Drax wanting to kill Thanos and avenge the death of his wife and daughter during his entire time in Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, he came close to landing heavy blows to the Mad Titan but in the end, he too had to bid goodbye to the world and that too without taking revenge from the person who brutally murdered his family.

15. Nick Fury and Maria Hill – Samuel L. Jackson and Cobie Smulders

The bloodbath, heartbreaks, mournings continues during the post-credits scene as we see Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), the courageous S.H.I.E.L.D. director along with commander Maria Hill vaporize just like half of Avengers and Guardians of Galaxy superheroes. It came as a rude shock for fans as they rejoiced to see the two who they haven’t seen since Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015 only to die in matter of seconds later. Fury’s last word remains ‘Mother…’ just he turned into dust!

Death of Children of Thanos aka the Black Order

Avengers: Infinity War was focussed on Thanos, everyone and everything revolved around this villain we have been seeing in instalments over the years. In order to fulfil his dream of killing half the living beings of universe, Thanos needed the six infinity stones and he had his children supporting his dream. The children of Thanos aka the Black Order consisted of Ebony Maw (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor), Corvus Glaive (Michael James Shaw), Proxima Midnight (Carrie Coon) and Cull Obsidian (Terry Notary). Probably the only deaths that brought a smile on fans’ faces in Infinity War were of these four (for me Peter Quill’s death was most satisfactory).

Gamora had warned how Thanos would wipe out half the universe with a snap of his finger and he did. A lot was being talked about how Avengers: Infinity War will not reveal the sixth infinity stone, the Soul Stone and that the film will see the end of Iron Man or Captain America. However, the genius duo, the Russo Brothers certainly had different ideas, and it can be clearly seen from the film. None had anticipated such a wipeout in this latest Marvel film. We all have to wait anxiously for Avengers 4 to release next year in May and see how the remaining (hopefully, returning from the dead) superheroes avenge Thanos for his misdemeanours.
