MCU: Dead or Alive

We’re less than a month away from Avengers: Endgame and there is so much speculation on what’s going to happen that your head could explode from rumor overload. You’ll hear everything from time travel and the Quantum Realm to Ant-Man anally invading Thanos and growing.

While many of these rumors won’t pan out, I wanted to give out some information to get ready for what will really happen. Below are the statuses of many of the characters in the MCU – who’s confirmed alive, who’s confirmed dead, rumored alive and dead, and those with the dreaded unknown status. I’m doing movies only, since the TV/Netflix stuff has started to be a little more self-contained.

This is something I’ll be updating up until I see the movie (and possibly afterwards even).
