Who died in Infinity War, and who's alive for Endgame

As the final trailer for Avengers: Endgame has been released, it's a good time to look at which major characters are alive - and which are not.

Several major players in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) were killed in Avengers: Infinity War, and still more were shown to have died in the films since.

Obviously, there are spoilers below, so quit reading now if you're not up to date.

Thanos snapped his fingers at the end of Infinity War and wiped out half of all life across the universe - but he'd already knocked off a few team members before that.
