Film Deaths

• Dogma (1999) [Loki]: Stabbed in the side by Ben Affleck outside the cathedral, after Matt threatened to take down Ben, believing his quest for revenge had gone too far. Matt had earlier removed his wings, and became mortal as a result.
• Titan A.E. (2000; animated) [Cale Tucker]: Shot in the chest by Dredg aliens; this turns out to be a dream sequence. (He survives the film in reality)
• The Majestic (2001) [Luke Trimble]: Killed (off-screen) in World War II, years before the movie begins. (Matt does not actually appear in the movie, except for his voice-over in a letter that Jim Carrey reads.)
• The Brothers Grimm (2005) [Will Grimm]: Falls to his death at the end of a struggle with Petr Vrsek; he is later revived when his brother (Heath Ledger) uses an Italian curse to bring him back to life.
• The Departed (2006) [Colin Sullivan]: Shot in the head by Mark Wahlberg in his apartment.
• Elysium (2013) [Max Da Costa]: Sacrifices himself after he lets Wagner Moura download all of the information from his head, triggering William Fichtner's lethal failsafe device and killing him instantly.

He survives the movie in reality though he becomes the victim of Thanos's snap but was resurrected by Mark Ruffalo. (Played for comic effect.)
