The article speculates on the likelihood of character deaths in the upcoming MCU film Thunderbolts. Drawing parallels to the high-stakes, often fatal missions of DC's Suicide Squad, the piece argues that the nature of the Thunderbolts team—composed of anti-heroes and former villains—makes character deaths highly probable to establish genuine consequences and differentiate them from teams like the Avengers.

The author suggests that characters like Taskmaster (less emotionally developed), Ghost (whose unstable condition provides narrative justification), Red Guardian (potential for heroic sacrifice), and U.S. Agent (whose volatile nature could lead to his demise) are more likely candidates for death.

Conversely, characters like Yelena Belova (positioned as the new Black Widow with significant future potential) and Bucky Barnes (long-standing character with an ongoing arc) are considered less likely to be killed off. Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, as the team's assembler, is also deemed unlikely to die.

Ultimately, the article concludes that while nothing is certain, the premise of the Thunderbolts strongly suggests that at least one member of the team is likely to die to underscore the danger and expendable nature often associated with such government-assembled squads of morally ambiguous figures.
