Ronin’s Reveal
Avengers: Infinity War featured just about every hero from the past ten years of the franchise, but – apart from Ant-Man, of course – there was one big exception: Hawkeye. We had one measly line explaining that Clint Barton remained under house arrest following the battle over the Sokovia Accords. Aside from that, though, he wasn’t seen or discussed at all.
At last, the Endgame trailer reveals the return of Barton, but he ain’t Hawkeye no more. As we’ve known for a while, thanks to set pics, Clint has got himself a new mohawk haircut and a new darker look. In other words, he’s taken on the mantle of his alternate alter ego from the comics, Ronin. The trailer features a moment when Natasha sees Clint for the first time since the event, and he looks mighty angry.
The reason why is likely revealed in Steve’s voiceover: “we lost family,” he says. Rumors have stated that Clint will lose his wife and kids to the Decimation. Going by the fact that the retired Avenger is back in action and has got himself an emo makeover, it looks like this tragedy is true.
