Director Michael Patrick King has freed us from one of our worst fears - that Mr. Big, Carrie Bradshaw's longtime, on-and-off love played by Chris Noth - will somehow kick the bucket.

He’s told journalists: "Kill Mr. Big? I would have been chased around the planet by women with torches."
 
"I did want an emotional roller-coaster."

"But my ultimate target was to make our 'girlfriends' - in other words, our audience - happy. And I don't think Mr. Big dying would make them happy."

He added: "It's a summer movie. Why would I want to kill anyone?"

The death rumour has led to some naughty speculation. One of the naughtiest: New York Magazine suggested that Charlotte, the pretty and perky Park Avenue socialite, could be killed in a freak tennis accident.
