Avengers: Infinity War - Predicting The Fate Of Every Avenger
21. Hawkeye
Nobody has really mentioned Hawkeye in the run up to Avengers: Infinity War, with the prospect of characters like Iron Man, Rocket Raccoon and Doctor Strange being in the same room overshadowing the inclusion of - generally - a candidate for everyone's least favourite Avenger.
It's also hard to see where characters like he and Black Widow (i.e. the two human assassins) will factor into a battle with an Infinity Gauntlet-wielding space-God.
Still, since Clint Barton is appearing in the movie, he does have a part to play. He'll surely be capable enough to face Thanos' minions rather than the big man himself, and that's really the only way we see him being useful.
What Will Happen To Him? People have been pegging Hawkeye for the chop for years, but in all honesty, Marvel are not likely to kill him off. They won't murder a character that has a wife and kids at home - that's a little too dark for a family-oriented movie universe.
But we do think he'll be one of the first Avengers to be written out, though. He's toyed with retirement before, and at the end of Infinity War - given how risky being a superhero can be - we think he'll return home to care for his family.
