Or, perhaps more truthfully, after the untitled fourth "Avengers" film, opening next summer.

Probability of Death: 60%

Reasoning: Most of these will boil down to things that we know; primarily that many of the original Marvel Cinematic Universe actors will be released from their contract following the fourth "Avengers" movie (out next summer). Chris Evans is one of those actors.

Probability of Death: 40%

Probability of Death: 60%

Reasoning: Again, Chris Hemsworth is done with his contract after the next "Avengers" and, considering the events of "Thor: Ragnarok," Thor doesn't even have a home world to go back to. He's a lonely, one-eyed space orphan with nowhere to turn.

Probability of Death: 10%

Reasoning: Black Widow wasn't a ground floor Marvel Cinematic Universe character, but she was close (her debut came in the otherwise forgettable "Iron Man 2").

Probability of Death: 20%

Reasoning: Sure, the mighty Hulk getting crushed by Thanos would surely be a way to show how powerful the mad titan really is, but given Mark Ruffalo's only sporadic involvement in the MCU, it would be a shame if he left us after what seems like only a few appearances. (This is especially true, given his scene-stealing role in "Thor: Ragnarok.") If we were betting on it, we'd say the Hulk survives this two-part saga and lives to smash another day.

Avenger: Doctor Strange

Probability of Death: 5%

Reasoning: Benedict Cumberbatch's bemused surgeon-turned-master-of-the-mystical-arts has only starred in one stand-alone movie ("Doctor Strange") and made a brief appearance in another ("Ragnarok"). In other words: Cumberbatch owes Marvel many more movies, and the relative popularity of both his movie and his overall vibe means that we will be seeing much more of him in the not-too-distant future. (Supposedly, Marvel is just leaving the Sanctum Sanctorum set from "Infinity War" up in Atlanta so that it can be easily utilized for the "Doctor Strange" sequel.)

That said, we aren't too attached to Strange as a character and Thanos taking down the magical gatekeeper of the MCU would certainly send a statement.

Avenger: War Machine

Probability of Death: 20%

Reasoning: Last we saw Don Cheadle's War Machine, he was crippled by a blast from Vision's forehead (he was aiming for Captain America). He seems to be back on his feet (literally), thanks to some ingenious Stark tech, so he will be donning the bullet gray suit once more.

Probability of Death: 0%

Reasoning: The sequel to "Spider-Man: Homecoming" will be released next summer, just after the fourth "Avengers." Tom Holland's Peter Parker is very safe indeed.

Avenger: Vision

Probability of Death: 99%

Reasoning: Most of the coveted Infinity Stones, which Thanos is aching for, reside in remote corners of the galaxy. With the mind stone, it's located smack dab in Vision's forehead. That presents something of a problem, as it gives Vision (played by the very wonderful Paul Bettany) life and is something that Thanos is desperate for.

Unless there's some last minute save, Vision's days are numbered. And that will absolutely crush ...

Probability of Death: 5%

Reasoning: In the years since Vision and Scarlet Witch were introduced in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," the two have grown close. Like romantically close, if you know what we mean.

While Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch is probably safe, given her inclusion in the "New Avengers" line-up glimpsed at the end of "Age of Ultron" (alongside such favorites as Falcon and War Machine), we can imagine a scenario where she sacrifices herself trying to save her beloved, Vision. Now that would be dramatic.

Avenger: Ant-Man

Probability of Death: 0%

Reasoning: Well, we're not even sure Ant-Man is even in "Infinity War;" he's been left out of the posters and various marketing materials since the campaign began in earnest.

Our guess is that he's not in this movie ("Ant-Man and the Wasp" opens later this summer), but he will make an appearance in the next, untitled "Avengers" installment. And we're pretty sure he'll make it through that one, too, because -- come on -- are they really going to kill off Paul Rudd?

Avenger: Hawkeye

Probability of Death: 0%

Reasoning: Again, we're not totally positive that he even makes an appearance in "Infinity War." (What he's doing instead is anybody's guess; maybe there was some kind of problem with the cows on the farm?)

Probability of Death: 0%

Reasoning: To date, "Black Panther" has made $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office. Chadwick Boseman can rest easy with the kind of job security he's got now.

Avenger: Falcon

Probability of Death: 5%

Reasoning: Primarily, we think Anthony Mackie's Falcon is safe because of the ease with which he could slip into Captain America's place because, yes, Cap is definitely dying in the next couple of movies. (Sorry, everyone.)

Of course, there's always the possibility that he'll be killed off just to make that impossible. Like, you thought there'd be somebody to pick up the shield? Well, it turns out there's nobody left. Which brings us to...

Probability of Death: 5%

Reasoning: Again, Bucky, who now goes by the moniker White Wolf, since spending time in Wakanda getting de-programmed from his Hydra days (hail Hydra!), could be the perfect person to take Cap's shield and fight for what's right. (Remember that he was Steve Rogers' old platoon-mate in World War II.)

But he could get taken out for the same reason that Falcon could go: to serve as an even bigger obstacle for someone to take Captain America's place. What's even more unthinkable: that Falcon and Bucky bite the bullet, leaving the Avengers' option at zero.

What do you think of our odds making? Who do you think is most likely to get killed in the battle against Thanos and his minions? Let us know!

And come back after the release of "Avengers: Infinity War" where we'll tally up just how right (and wrong) we were!
