Chris Hemsworth's recent statement feels very conclusive, as if he's just wrapped filming <em>Avengers: Doomsday </em>and knows it's going to be his last time on set. Not to mention, the whole Thor death thing was established in <em>Deadpool & Wolverine</em>. I might just be coping, but I think this might just be misdirection for some sort of fakeout. Killing off original Avengers certainly triggers an emotional response, but it seems kind of ridiculous for all deaths to just be characters who have satisfied their story arcs. Letting veteran characters live to occasionally appear in ing roles like Tony Stark in <em>Spider-Man: Homecoming </em>seems like a much better use.
