“Wolverine and Deadpool” has Wolverine coming back after he died at the end of the movie, “The Wolverine”. In fact, the former begins with Deadpool by the grave of the dead Wolverine but, because of the miraculous multiverse, we got an alternate Wolverine instead.
This scene was lovingly taken from something that had actually happened on As The World Turns, in which the young heroine, Shannon O’Hara, had her head removed and shrunken…yet managed a comeback on the show a few years later.
There was an actual funeral scene for the title character in John Wick 4, and yet they are making John Wick 5.
Do clones or alternate universes count in this thread? You are not exactly bringing back the same character.
Since I never watched any of the sequels to the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie, maybe there’s something I don’t know. But I see in clips that Barbossa is in the sequels. Didn’t he die at the end of the first movie?
Then, Terminator doesn’t count either.
Harry Hart (Colin Firth) in Kingsmen: The Secret Service was killed off, and brought back through advanced technology for the sequel.
Phil Coulson was killed off by Loki in The Avengers but came back from Tahiti (technology, alien blood) for Agents of SHIELD TV show. He was then killed off there and came back in a way too complicated to explain, was killed off a third time and came back as a Life Model Decoy (LMD), Marvels way to get around any character death.
Tia Dalma performed some magic of an unknown nature to bring him back, offscreen.
I thought stories written after The Final Problem were set chronologically before it, but I am far from a SH expert.
There are too many comic book examples “no one, except maybe Uncle Ben, is ever permanently dead”. Doesn’t matter if they were dismembered, cremated, soaked in acid, and thrown into a volcano / the sun they can come back.

Spock was killed of in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
The next film is Star Trek III: The Search for Spock which is entirely about bring back Spock from the “dead”.
Nope, I distinctly remember reading one in which Sherlock explains to Watson that he didn’t actually die in the Reichenbach Falls, but he faked his death to better infiltrate Moriarty’s organization or something like that.
Correct. The first story set after Holmes’ “death” is The Adventure of the Empty House
When a collection of post-reappearance stories was published, it was unambiguously titled The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
He died at the end of Logan.
Loki is killed by Thanos. He comes back as a variant in the Loki TV show.
Lots of characters come back after the snap.
In City Slickers Curly dies. In City Slicker 2 Jack Palance is now Duke, Curley’s long lost twin.
Yeah, how did that happen? I never saw the second Kingsman movie, but I know Firth was back. He was shot in the head at close range with what? A Glock? (I don’t know shit about guns, but shouldn’t his brains be splattered all over the pavement?)
Does Bobby Ewing on Dallas count?
They tried to bring Jock back from the dead too, but audiences didn’t like it. He was allowed to vanish at the end of the season, never to be heard from again.
Oh my God, they killed Kenny!
If we’re getting into TV shows, a lot of people who died in LOST managed to find ways to come back.
In The Increasingly Poor Decisions of a Todd Margaret, they found a way to bring back all the characters for a third season after Todd detonated a North Korean nuke and killed off all life on Earth at the end of Season 2.
Not only should he have been dead, it’s kinda hard to aee how his decisions could get “increasingly poor” in the next season.
I’m old enough to remember when it was “nobody stays dead except Uncle Ben and Bucky”. And look where we are now.
