Adam Warlock, Groot, and 8 other characters who could meet their demise in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

The ranking of the characters in this list is based on several factors, including the character's current story arc, their significance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the likelihood of them being killed off in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Characters who are ranked higher like Kraglin and Rocket are considered more likely to die in the movie based on these factors. Of course, it is always possible that characters ranked lower on the list could still be killed, but it is considered less likely.


10) Gamora

Gamora was one of the original members of the cosmic team, and she has had a significant impact on the team and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. However, her death is almost a foregone conclusion at this point.

Gamora is one of the central characters in the story of the series and has featured prominently in many other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Given her importance in the series, it's unlikely that she will be killed off in the third part of the series, which is why she has been ranked tenth on this list.


9) Star-Lord

Star-Lord, also known as Peter Quill, is one of the main characters of the Guardians franchise and is played by Chris Pratt. He is the leader of the cosmic team and is known for his quick wit and humor. However, his life as a hero is not without its risks, and he may find himself in dangerous situations in the upcoming movie.

In the comics, Star-Lord has been known to make sacrifices for the greater good, and he may have to do the same in the forthcoming film. His death would certainly have a significant impact on the rest of the Guardians and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.


8) Adam Warlock

Nebula has a history of being a villain and has been involved in some of the most dangerous missions in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her death would be a fitting end to her character arc and serve as a reminder of the consequences of her actions.

Mantis is a telepathic insectoid and Peter Quill's sister, as confirmed in the Holiday Special. She was introduced in the second film, and since then, she has become a fan favorite.

Despite her popularity, Mantis is likely to see her end in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. She is a relatively new character, and her death would serve as a reminder of the stakes in the upcoming film.


3) Rocket

Rocket Raccoon, a lovable and sarcastic mechanical creature, is a fan-favorite character in the franchise. He has been through a lot with the rest of the team, and his quick wit and sharp tongue always provide comic relief in the films.

However, with the arrival of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, fans are starting to wonder if Rocket's luck is about to run out. Despite being one of the team's most influential members, with so many villains and threats to the Guardians, Rocket might not make it to the film's end.


2) Kraglin

Kraglin is a character from the franchise played by Sean Gunn. He is a member of the Ravagers and is Yondu's second-in-command. Kraglin previously played a minor role, but he may have a more prominent role in the upcoming film.

If Kraglin is given a more important role in the forthcoming movie, he may find himself in dangerous situations. In comic book movies, minor characters are often used as plot devices, and Kraglin may find himself in a situation where he has to make the ultimate sacrifice.


1) The High Evolutionary

The High Evolutionary is one of the villains in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Given his role as the villain, it's almost a fact that the High Evolutionary will meet his end in the film.

Villains in comic book films are often killed off, and if the High Evolutionary is involved in disturbing experiments that threaten the Guardians of the Galaxy, he will be the most likely character to meet his end on-screen.


The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a long history of killing off its characters, and with the return of old enemies and the introduction of new threats, it's almost guaranteed that some of the favorite Guardians will fall.
