When it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hawkeye has always been the butt of many jokes. We have Tony Stark’s awesome Iron-Man suit, Thor’s mighty hammer, Captain America’s classic costume, and Hawkeye’s… leather cutoff? In a cinematic world of flashy outfits, Hawkeye has always felt a bit drab, which is why it’s exciting to find out that Clint Barton is getting an upgrade in the near-future.
Posted on Chinese social-media site Weibo, we can see a few Avengers 4 set-photos showing Jeremy Renner behind-the-scenes in costume. His trench-coat covers most of his clothing, but looking at his boots, it becomes pretty clear that he will be getting a particular upgrade very soon. Comic-readers will immediately recognize this as Clint Barton/Hawkeye shifting into his Ronin persona, as previously rumoured. Here are the photos courtesy of Twitter user Weeping angel:

It’s unclear when, exactly, Barton will be making his shift into Ronin. He could easily pull it off in Avengers: Infinity War, as we still don’t have a ton of details on the film, other than knowing that it’s massive in scope.
What do you think? Will we see Ronin in Avengers: Infinity War, or will he be making his debut in Avengers 4? Let us know in the comments below…
As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
