On Monday night's episode of Disney-owned Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the late-night host asked his five guests promoting Avengers: Infinity War who might die in the new film, which officially opens on Wednesday in Australia. After all, Kimmel noted, someone has to perish in a war.

The cast members stayed mum, but their nervous laughter only seemed to confirm the speculation that has swirled around the Disney/Marvel movie for months. Surely, one of the major superhero players won't live to see the final credits, will they?
