Summary Lee's death at the end of Civil War was not shocking to Kirsten Dunst.

Dunst clarified in an interview that the bullet was fired from the President's Oval Office.

Dunst highlighted the importance of knowing signals during the war, contrasting her character with Jessie's lack of awareness.

The surprising death at the end of Civil War came as no surprise to Kirsten Dunst's Lee. Following a team of journalists hoping to get an interview from the fascist U.S. President, Civil War depicts the events of a devastating war on American soil. With California and Texas raising up arms against the three-term President, the rest of America is forced to split into factions. All the while, journalists on the ground cover the horrifying events of an ever-escalating war. Tragically, Lee dies shortly before speaking with the President.

While the Civil War ending was a shocking twist, Lee's death was not particularly surprising for Kirsten Dunst. In an interview with Variety, Dunst cleared up any confusion about her character's tragic fate. She revealed exactly where the bullet was fired from, and she even revealed that Lee anticipated her death and had suffered too much to step away from the fighting. Check out her quote below:

“It was definitely fired from the president’s Oval Office. What happened was that I know when to cross and when not to cross with the soldiers when they fire. I know the signals and how to read them. You just know when it’s time to move and when it’s time not to. That’s something that Cailee’s character Jessie obviously does not know.”
