Honestly, the Avengers have a lot to thank Heimdall for, but Thanos quickly killing him after Hulk escaped assured that he would miss out on any thanks. Before the villain could harm him, Heimdall manged to send the Hulk to Earth using his powers as gatekeeper. In his quest to attain another Stone, Thanos killed Loki, and things weren't looking great for Heimdall either.

By the time that movie ended, he and Thor decided to bring the remainder of their people to Earth, but when Infinity War began, we learned that Thanos and his own crew had intercepted their ship to steal the Space Stone from them. Heimdall didn't have much to do in the first two Thor films, but got a chance to play hero by the end of Thor: Ragnarok, when he helped guide surviving Asgardians to safety. The character wasn't exactly high on viewers' lists of concerns as Infinity War's release approached.


His axing was so sudden and quick that it was easy to have forgotten about by the time the movie ended, but is Heimdall really dead? Heimdall, the guardian of Bifrost Bridge and a loyal subject to Thor and Loki's father Odin, was one of the the first fatalities seen in Infinity War. At your screening of Avengers: Infinity War, you probably had just barely settled into your seat when the official movie death toll began ticking off names minutes into the film. Spoiler Alert: Spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War follow.
