Film Deaths

• Six Degrees of Separation (1993) [Paul]: Possibly commits suicide (off-screen) by hanging himself in jail. His possible death is mentioned by Stockard Channing when she says she read a newspaper article about a man who hung himself in jail but isn't sure if the man was Will.

• I Am Legend (2007) [Robert Neville]: Killed in an explosion when he sacrifices himself by detonating a grenade to destroy the Infected in his laboratory, so that Alice Braga and Charlie Tahan can escape with the cure. The 2-disc DVD includes an alternate ending in which he survives.

• Hancock (2008) [John Hancock]: Is temporarily clinically dead when Charlize Theron "dies," due to the link between their powers; he revives after moving away from Charlize and weakening the bond.

• Seven Pounds (2008) [Ben Thomas]: Commits suicide by electrocuting himself by a box jellyfish in his bathtub, in order to donate his organs to Rosario Dawson and Woody Harrelson.

• Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) [ESPN Reporter Jeff Bullington]: Possibly killed along with his news team when he calls in an airstrike to carpet bomb the whole park they're all fighting in. It's unclear exactly who was killed in the bombing, and it's unlikely that Will was among the casualties since he was the one who called in the airstrike, but I will list this just in case. (Played for comic effect.)

• Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) [Colonel Steve Hiller]: Will does not appear in this film, as his character from Independence Day has been killed off between the first film and the sequel, in a crash while testing an alien-enhanced fighter jet; his death is referenced in a question Jessie T. Usher is asked.

• Gemini Man (2019) [Henry Brogan/Junior/Clone 3]: "Clone 3" died of injuries after being set on fire by Mary Elizabeth Winstead before "Junior" attempts to him. Henry mentions having been drowned to death by Clive Owen as part of a "training exercise" and being medically revived years before the movie began. Henry and Junior survive the movie.

• Bad Boys for Life (2020) [Mike Lowery] Grievously wounded by Jacob Scipio via gunshot wounds to the chest requiring hospitalization. Martin Lawrence reveals to Will that he “coded out three times” during Will’s six-month coma.
