Jeremy Renner teases Hawkeye will return in Marvel's Avengers 4 after missing out on Infinity War

MCU star Jeremy Renner teased he’ll be suiting up again as Hawkeye for the upcoming Avengers 4 , which is set to begin additional photography soon. Renner shared on Instagram an image of Hawkeye from his last appearance in Captain America: Civil War to tease his return.

Hawkeye was part of the original Avengers line-up from the 2012 film but found himself out of the superhero team’s latest outing in Infinity War . Though previously ridiculed for using a bow and arrow as his primary weapon amidst much stronger superheroes, his absence in the recent Avengers film caused a lot of fan backlash . Fan theories emerged about how the arrow-slinging superhero may take up a new identity in the upcoming fourth installment. According to MCU Exchange , Hawkeye will become Ronin after suffering some terrible blow during the narrative in Infinity War. This, in turn, will force him to depart from his original identity and adopt a darker persona in the form of Ronin. Renner has portrayed the master archer Clint Barton aka Hawkeye in three Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies so far, and also featured in a cameo for Thor.
