Film Deaths[]

  • Caravaggio (1986) [Lena]: Drowned (off-screen) in a lake by Sean Bean. Her body is shown floating in the water afterwards, then lying on a table after being fished out. She is shown again in a lengthy sequence of Nigel Terry using her body as a model for his painting, with an interlude of his cradling her in his arms. Tilda was pregnant at the time of her death, consequently, her unborn child also died.
  • Conceiving Ada (1997) [Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace]: Dies of uterine cancer in her bedroom, while communicating through time with Francesca Faridany on Francesca's computer monitor.
  • The Beach (2000) [Sal]: Although she survives the film in the final cut, a deleted alternate ending released on home media shows Tilda committing suicide by shooting herself shortly after everyone else abandons her beachside paradise.
  • The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005) [The White Witch]: Killed by the lion Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson) during the final battle. We only see Aslan about to strike. Her body is not shown afterwards.
  • The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) [The White Witch]: Playing the ghost Witch that was brought back through a dark ritual othat was performed by Warwick Davis, Shane Rangi and Klara Issova. Before she came out from the ice, she was destroyed when Skandar Keynes broke the ice.
  • The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) [The White Witch]: Playing the ghost Witch that is seen in a fog by Skandar Keynes. She disappears when the curse of the fog ends.
  • Snowpiercer (2013) [Mason]: Shot in the head (off-screen) by Chris Evans with a submachine gun, as revenge for the execution of John Hurt. Although Tilda attempts to beg for her life, Chris ignores this and shoots her point blank.
  • The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) [Madame D.]: Poisoned (off-screen) by Adrien Brody. We see her body in a crime scene photo and later when Ralph Fiennes visits her body in her casket. (Tilda was in heavy old age make-up for this role.)
  • Doctor Strange (2016) [The Ancient One]: Fatally wounded after Mads Mikkelsen impales her through the chest with a magically-conjured sword and kicks her through a portal leading to the side of a skyscraper; she dies while still on the operating table shortly afterwards, before using her powers to extend her final moments to talk to Benedict Cumberbatch as astral projections.
  • Suspiria (2018) [Madame Blanc/Dr. Josef Klemperer/Helena Marcos]: Portraying three different characters, Madame Blanc is lethally wounded by supernatural powers of Helena Marcos and her head is almost separated from the body (although her death was never shown on-screen as she stands on her knees barely alive at the end of the film), and Helena Marcos received the kiss of death from Malgosia Bela under Dakota Johnson's instruction. Dr. Josef Klemperer survives the movie.
  • The Killer (2023) [The Expert]: Shot in the forehead by Michael Fassbender with a silenced pistol, after Tilda slips on a step and requests Michael's help to stand back up. Tilda was fully aware of Michael's intent to kill her, and had offered no resistance.
