Who here truly thinks Tony Stark will die in Avengers: Endgame?

I absolutely think both Cap and Iron Man will die.
To be perfectly honest, it's the only way to get rid of the characters in a way that moviegoers will accept I think, since Marvel is clearly building towards a team of "new" Avengers to take the mantle.

What I want: the only way to undo the snap is for Cap to travel back to the past and not go down in the crash, instead destroying the Tesseract. He lives a fulfilling life with agent Carter, and dies an old man and war hero on the day the first Avengers movie would have fallen on - when the invasion of New York City would have occurred.
The only people who know, who remember how things originally played out, are him and the other Avengers. The day Cap travels back in time, Stark retires - leaving the Avengers up to Carol Danvers to guide from then on.
PhoncipleBone mentioned this idea in a Discord chat, I filled in a couple of supporting ideas to make it work. Stark is going to die saving Captain America.
- Stark went full crazy at the end of Civil War, attempted to kill Cap's best friend (who was also innocent), and said some shitty things while salty from taking an L to Cap.
- Cap himself apologized to Tony for handling the Bucky situation incorrectly and extended an olive branch out to Tony should Tony ever want to.
- Stark has yet to apologize for his mistakes made during Civil War.
I think Stark survives and if someone dies, it's Steve.
Tony will get a happy ending with Pepper. And Steve's death will set up Bucky as Captain America.
I also don't think Far From Home would be casually mentioning Iron Man in a joke if it's immediately after Tony dies. One of the kids jokes about how Mysterio looks like a mix between Iron Man and Thor. I just don't think that joke happens in the film if Tony Stark is dead.

Been saying that shit for years, even before Civil War came out. It is also gonna be the moment Cap is able to pick up Mjolnir/Stormbreak/Whatever and administer one of the most spectacular ass beatings ever. The audience will be broken at Tony's death and Thanos's gloating, then immediately pop like you wouldn't fucking believe as Steve picks up the hammer/axe/whatever.
My nerd boner is gonna be visible from space.
I am fully prepared for this to not happen, but I have been clinging to this idea for years, so I obviously want it to happen
Edit: they planted the seeds for it in Avengers 1. Tony will finally not cut the wire but actually lay down on it for someone else.

"The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you."
IMO, the point was that Tony was willing to be that person making the big sacrifice, that he didn't just fight for himself, proving Cap wrong and developing Tony's character. Granted, it still could happen in Endgame, but personally I think we already had a kind of resolution to that line in Avengers. We already clearly know that Tony just doesn't just fight for himself now.

Agreed. We've already seen that he's willing to give up his life for others, but is he willing to give up his suit for others?

tbh, I was hardly the first or only person on the Interwebz to speculate that, but thanks

I mean, from the outside they could just as easily be "I was right, he does!" posts as "You were wrong, he doesn't!" posts.
