9 Marvel Characters Who Will Die Before The End Of Phase 3

5. Hawkeye

After he popped up for five minutes in Thor back in 2011, longtime fans started waiting excitedly to see what the cinematic version of Hawkeye would be like. And four year's later they're still waiting. It's become something of a non-observation that the gifted archer has been rather underserved in the MCU, spending most of The Avengers as a brainwashed slave, only notable in the final battle for being the other guy. Jeremy Renner has made his distaste for the whole mind-control plot device well known but he was much better used in the sequel and now may be a character we might actually mourn if he was to be killed off. Renner has revealed he is contracted for Avengers: Infinity War and a stand-alone movie, which is looking likely to be Captain America: Civil War. That means he's in the same boat as the two Chris', with no real life after taking on Thanos. As he's certainly not going to be a make-or-break inclusion for the franchise, it's hard to think Marvel would extend his contract, making a Hawkeye movie as unlikely as Black Widow's (a character who may actually make it Phase 4). When Will He Die: As his contract runs out with Avengers: Infinity War, it's likely he'll meet his end in one of those parts, probably earlier than his hammered and shielded counterparts.
