Avengers: Infinity War - 8 Biggest Reveals From The Tie-In Comic

8. Hawkeye Has Officially Retired (Again)

Love them or hate them, Hawkeye's family is set to feature again in Avengers: Infinity War, with the most recent tie-in placing Barton well and truly away from the superhero routine and back at his ranch.

Logic would've perhaps dictated that Barton, now a fugitive of the law, would remain on the run with Steve and the rest of the supposedly 'secret' Avengers. Instead, he's chilling with his wife and kids again, and while that would in theory paint a target on their backs, Barton's home has been off the books for years now, consigned to secrecy by Nick Fury when he was still Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In any case, it's clear that this retirement will again only be temporary. Hawkeye has been pictured suited and booted in both Infinity War and Avengers 4, and with rumours implicating his family in a rather tragic event, one that compels him to again pick up the bow and potentially adopt a new identity, the fact he is at home in this comic could yet lend weight to those rumours.

Granted, Barton's constant resurfacing could be seen as a bit of a gag at this point, but one can't help but get the feeling that the reason for this Avengers call-up, is one steeped in tragedy...
