They're not all going to come back but that doesn't mean what you said is going to be accurate.
There's absolutely 0% chance they're killing T'Challa, I dunno if I've ever seen anything more out of left field before. He's almost certainly going to be the face of Marvel going forward after Avenger 4 along with Captain Marvel. I mean Black Panther 1 is one of the highest grossing films of all time and only behind Infinity Wars and maybe Avengers from Marvel.
They're not killing him.
And I'd say it's only the smallest bit more likely that Doctor Strange dies. He's also going to be an integral character for the next phase and while they haven't confirmed a Doctor Strange yet, it's been heavily rumored for a long time and the only reason they haven't confirmed it is likely because of his importance to the story line in part 2 of the infinity wars and the fact they need to at least put on the image of uncertainty regarding that character.
I'd say the following characters are almost certainly going to be alive through Infinity Wars Part 2:
Black Panther
Spider-Man
Captain Marvel
Ant-Man
Dr. Strange
Starlord
Bucky(He's going to be the next Cap, they hinted at this already IMO in the end scene of BP and him and T'Challa becoming close friends already)
Then, I'd also be willing to bet that this next list of characters will almost certainly be dead after part 2:
Gamora
Loki
Captain America
Vision
Iron Man(Maybe not dead, but removed from the equation permanently)
That leaves the following list of characters who I think have futures that are completely up in the air right now. Of this list I suspect more then half of them end up dead permanently but a good few survive as well:
Thor
Hulk
Black Widow
Scarlet Witch
Rocket
Groot
Drax
Hawkeye
Flacon
War Machine
Nebula
Okoye
Wong
Mantis
Bolded are the ones I think end up dying. But I'm also very unsure about Thor and Hulk. On the one hand I would normally expect them both to die, but I think Thor has risen a tonne in the MCU the last 6 months as a character since Ragnarok was so well done and followed up with some real strong character development here in Infinity Wars as well. Throw in that Hemsworth has said he'd love to continue making Thor movies and I think there's a real chance he ends up being the only lead original Avenger to survive.
I'm also not really sure what happens with the rest of the gang from GOTG. I have Drax dying but I could see him staying alive because of how well his comedy has been perceived by fans. On the flip side Rocket and Groots future likely rests in what happens with Thor as well. As I think the foundation for a new team up movie involving those 2 and Thor could be in the makings if they choose to keep Thor around long term. But if they dont, I could see one of Groot or Rocket dying.
The thing about the Guardians of The Galaxy franchise is that it's potentially not very difficult for them to make a Vol. 3 with a lot of new faces taking over. We saw at the end of the GOTG 2 movie they teased the original Guardians team and that could be a foreshadowing to changes coming up of our current GOTG team with some new players in it.
I think Marvel has done a good job of being very secretive abut what's going to happen after Infinity Wars Part 2. It's left a lot of things up in the air for the future that they can wait to decide based on how these 2 movies are perceived before going forward. Outside of the obvious sequels that would be coming(BP 2 and Spider-Man 2), they really have a chance to do anything as we get passed this event.
Return of Mantis in Guardian of Galaxy 3 is confirmed by Gunn.
Taking into account how their group dynamic works you can bet all your money on return of:
1) Gamora, because she is the counterpart of Starlord. He is obviously alive as the main character of the movie.
2) Both Groot and Rocket, because their pair is the counterpart of Starlord-Gamora pair.
3) Drax, because his counterpart Mantis is confirmed.
Nebula is the only character in question so far.
