Who Died In Avengers: Infinity War? Endgame Posters Fill In Some Gaps

Avengers: Infinity War had lots of casualties, and new posters for Endgame clued us in on some more. Fans of Marvel comics and the greater MCU expected the ending, but that doesn't mean it was any less impactful when the film debuted in April 2018. By the end of the movie, Thanos had collected all the Infinity Stones he was searching for, which gave him the power to wipe out half the life in the universe. Now, with Avengers: Endgame approaching quickly, it's time once again to grieve over the deaths from Infinity War before the finale hits theaters on April 26.

There were plenty of ways that the Avengers and their allies could have prevented this outcome throughout the movie. Doctor Strange could have let Tony Stark die instead of giving up the Time Stone, and Gamora could have let Thanos kill Nebula rather than guiding him to the Soul Stone. Star-Lord could have kept his cool despite learning of Gamora's death, and Thor could have "gone for the head," as Thanos himself put it.

All the characters who disintegrated at the end of Avengers: Infinity War can (and probably will) come back to life through some sort of magic in Avengers 4 in April. But for now, they're dead as dead can be. And don't forget the other characters who lost their lives earlier in the movie--chances are they're actually gone for good.

So as far as we know, here's every character who died in Avengers: Infinity War. If you're interested in something a little more lighthearted, the home release's special features have brought with them some fun deleted scenes--one involving a character missing from the movie (sorry, it's not Hawkeye), and another filling in a moment we had to assume happened. In all, the special features have revealed numerous details, including just what was going on with Hulk.

Thor's friend Heimdall bites it in the opening scene after Thanos attacks the Asgardians' ship.

Loki also dies in the opening scene, after trying rather unwisely to shank Thanos.

Thanos throws Gamora off a cliff to her death to secure the Soul Stone.

Vision dies when Thanos tears the Mind Stone from his head. No surprise there.

Ebony Maw gets iced when Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange Aliens him out of his own ship.

Vision kills Corvus Glaive with his own weapon.

Proxima Midnight gets cut down by a giant space lawnmower in Wakanda.

Cull Obsidian is defeated and killed by Bruce Banner in the Hulkbuster armor.

Bucky got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

T'Challa got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Groot got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Wanda got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Sam got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Mantis got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Drax got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Peter Quill got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Stephen Strange got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Peter Parker got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Nick Fury got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Wasp got disintegrated during the Thanos snap, which happened off screen in the post-credit sequence in Ant-Man and the Wasp.

It was never explicitly shown what happened to Shuri during Infinity War. However, new posters for Avengers: Endgame confirm she died in the third Avengers film.

Maria Hill got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Yes, half of everyone else on Earth got disintegrated when Thanos snapped his fingers.

Presumably, Thanos killed the Collector when he visited him offscreen.

Taika Waititi's beloved stone warrior may have gone out when Valkyrie did--or maybe not.

Thanos absolutely decimated the Asgardians' ship just before Infinity War's opening scene, so hopefully we'll learn in a future MCU movie whether any of them survived.
