Avengers: Infinity War directors answer the question that fans have been obsessed with

Paul Moore

Infinity War Hawkeye

No spoilers but this is extremely interesting.

Given the fact that approximately 1,437 superheroes and villains are going to feature in Avengers: Infinity War – not an exact figure but Christ almighty, there are a lot of people in this film! – it’s curious that one character has dominated the discussion in the buildup to the latest Marvel blockbuster, Hawkeye.

Ever since he gazed upon Thor trying to lift Mjölnir in Kenneth Branagh’s film, Jeremy Renner’s character has been something of a peripheral, yet integral, part of The Avengers.

After all, he was central to the plot of Avengers Assemble after helping Loki to steal the tesseract – damn mind control – and since then, he helped to save Sokovia in Avengers: Age of Ultron and kicked ass during Captain America: Civil War.

Hell, Clint Barton might not have any superpowers but at least he has the courage to go shoulder-to-shoulder with superhumans and gives it his all. Some man.

Despite the fact that he seems like the Avenger that’s happiest to retire – after all, he does have a family – film fans have been wondering why Hawkeye was left out of the poster for Avengers: Infinity War.

JOE’s Eoghan Doherty caught up with Anthony and Joe Russo to chat about Avengers: Infinity War and we finally got an answer about the fate of Hawkeye.

“We keep saying, ‘Patience is a virtue.’ We did not forget the twice-nominated Jeremy Renner,” Joe Russo said. “We cooked up a story for him that is a little bit of a long play. Not a short play.”

Aside from this, we also got an update about Peter Dinklage’s role in the film, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor’s new character, Ebony Maw, and the overall tone of Avengers: Infinity War.

Take a look here.

Fans will see exactly what Hawkeye has been up to when Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters on April 26th.

We can’t wait.
