AVENGERS: ENDGAME Concept Art Reveals Unused Armoured Hawkeye Costume For Clint Barton

Jeremy Renner spent most of Avengers: Endgame in variations of his Ronin costume, but new concept art from the 2019 movie reveals that Clint Barton nearly donned an armoured Hawkeye suit. Check it out...

Avengers: Endgame kicked off with the reveal that Clint Barton's entire family was wiped from existence when Thanos snapped his fingers and unleashed the power of the Infinity Gauntlet. Five years later, the broken hero had become Ronin, embarking on a revenge mission of sorts by brutally killing the criminals he believed should have died instead of the people he loved. 

After reuniting with Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Hawkeye wore his Ronin suit into battle. However, Marvel Studios Director of Visual Development Andy Park has now shared his take on an armoured suit the archer could have donned while attempting to put an end to the Mad Titan once and for all.

It's a cool look that incorporates some purple, but also gives Clint a little more protection while fighting the aliens Thanos unleashed on the site of the destroyed New Avengers Facility. 

"Story was fluctuating and they wanted to see an option of him in a more high-tech-ish armored look (before they landed on going the Ronin route)," Park explains in the Instagram post below. "I did the same for Black Widow for her Endgame look. That one made it into the film."

In Hawkeye, the hero has donned a comic accurate suit clearly based on the one he wore during Matt Fraction and David Aja's comic book run. Still, it definitely would have been cool to see this in action.

I love the callback to his traditionally purple suit plus the armor looks pretty badass. Wish they would premier this in the series instead of the purple Lycra we'll be seeing.

Seeing Hawkeye in sort of armour has me thinking I’d have really enjoyed some comment in maybe age of Ultron from Clint or Black Widow, just calling out why Tony didn’t make them suits when they are just regular, non super, people.

@Twenty23Three - Best not to draw attention to it tbh. The real reason is that it's more fun for each hero to have unique costumes and abilities, even if there's no realistic real-world reason for everyone to not have those suits

@Boyle360 - oh definitely, but it also works in universe too since Tony is mostly a dick haha

@Cbmfilmjunkie - maybe when he returns to the LARPers he shows up in that costume

@Cbmfilmjunkie - Dude, what a missed opportunity! They could have totally had him "have to" wear this in that scene with the LARPers

@Cbmfilmjunkie - would be cool to show a flashback to Clint being a vigilante before joining shield with him wearing something like this to protect his identity.

I can dig it. Maybe throw in his mask from the Civil War costume concept art as well if you're not really going for a "classic" look.

That's a pretty cool look, even though it looks like some armor that's supposed to worn underneath another layer of clothing

Would’ve made sense for Hawkeye to have some armor when fighting super human aliens… but also makes sense that he didn’t know that battle was about to happen.
