It's officially the end of an era, and the Avengers: Endgame deaths prove it. The film, which opened April 26, lives up to its dramatic title, packing an all-or-nothing explosion of high stakes and heavy emotions that has been building up over a decade of MCU films, beginning with 2008's Iron Man.

The film delivers on its promise: This really is the end for some of our most beloved, heroic and complex Avengers characters. (Would you expect no collateral whatsoever in the epic conclusion to a multi-film battle for the fate of the universe?)

So, who dies in Endgame? Who survives? And who, if anyone, is brought back to life after being snapped out of existence in Infinity War? The answers may shock you, but if you're curious, read on, below.
