I think the theory of Radagast's death has taken hold because it seems like something Jackson would do. It's reminiscent of Haldir's death in The Two Towers. His fate is not specified by Tolkien in the book so PJ gave him a dramatic death scene. Similarly, Radagast is said to be missing from Rhosgobel in LOTR, making his ultimate fate a mystery. Given that and Saruman's known dislike for Radagast, as well as his fall from grace which will presumably be foreshadowed in the Hobbit movies, Radagast being murdered doesn't seem that far fetched. Personally, I would rather it not happen. It contradicts Tolkien since Radagast is mentioned and has a small role in Fellowship. Saruman going full evil that early seems wrong and would surely have been discovered by his allies. And it would be far more satisfying to connect Radagast to the moth that helps Gandalf in the movies. I'd rather it was his ally or learn that the moth IS Radagast, via being a "master of shapes and changes of hue." That was how I always interpreted that scene in my head anyway to link it more closely with events from the book.

I don't see why Saruman's betrayal should be a surprise in FOTR...

On the Saruman FOTR point, I don't see that as any great issue.

All we know by now is that Radagast's sled bunnies were cooked by Sam.//

PJ will probably choose to kill him off, but almost certainly not in film 1
