It's highly unlikely. Antares is not likely to go supernova for at least a million years. However, because of it's distance from us - 600 light years, it may have already gone supernova and we just haven't seen it yet.

Antares is farther along in its life cycle than the sun. Antares is a red supergiant star, which indicates that it is nearing the end of its life and will eventually explode as a supernova.

Will Antares the star hyper nova?

No. Antares is 883 times the diameter of the sun, which makes it one of the largest stars by the amount of space it takes up. But, Antares is only 15 times the weight of our sun. A star has to be somewhere around 100-300 times heavier to go hypernova. So while it's quite large, unfortunately (or fortunately since it is so close to Earth) it isn't dense enough to go hypernova.

Is the star Antares still living?

Stars are of course not alive. However, as to whether it still exists, we cannot be sure. As it is about 550 light years away, if it were to explode today, we would not know for about 550 years. So it is possible it has been gone for a few hundred years and we don't know yet.
