He may be one of the MCU's founding Avengers, but Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) was noticeably absent from the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. While this has led some fans to speculate that the archer may meet his end in the movie, Renner doesn't seem all too concerned about it. “I don’t pay attention to that sort of stuff,” he told South China Morning Post. “I was just excited that we got a trailer together and it’s coming out – that is a pretty killer trailer.”
Additionally, Renner teased that fans will be excited for how the film handles Hawkeye. “We’re doing a lot of really wondrous things that I’ve always wanted to do with this character … I think everyone will be very pleased when they find out what happens.”
One of the biggest rumors surrounding the character (based on some set photos) is that Hawkeye will don the mantle of Ronin, as he does in the comics. While Renner was asked if this will translate into Infinity War, he declined to confirm anything. “I can’t get into the theories … I know [Ronin] is in the comics, but otherwise I don’t really know anything about that stuff,” he said.
