Given that he’s been entirely absent from the marketing and promotional materials, and his name isn’t featured in the credits of the official poster, it would seem that Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye is only going to make the briefest of appearances in Avengers: Infinity War, if at all.
While we do know he’ll feature in the as-yet-untitled Avengers 4, it’s pretty clear that he isn’t going to have any kind of significant screen time in Infinity War. Nevertheless, directors Anthony and Joe Russo have moved to reassure Hawkeye fans that Clint Barton will have an interesting role to play across the two movies.
“We keep saying, ‘Patience is a virtue.’ We did not forget the twice-nominated Jeremy Renner. We cooked up a story for him that is a little bit of a long play. Not a short play,” Joe told JOE.com, with Anthony adding that “All will be revealed.”
As we’ve seen in set photos, Hawkeye is set to unveil a new costume and look inspired by his Ronin persona from the comic books. Rumours have also been circulating as to what sets him off on this path, but we’ll not spoil them here…
