Avengers: Age Of Ultron Spoilers - 16 Things We Know Will Happen

13. Hawkeye Almost Doesn't Make It

Speculation over who will die in the sequel has been rife as long as Joss Whedon - the most notorious of creator/Grim Reapers - has been attached, and unfortunately for Jeremy Renner, Hawkeye is usually the name that comes up first. Whether he ultimately ends up dead or not remains to be seen - it's still probably a good bet that he won't survive into Phase 4 - but according to a scene break-down released by Empire, he does almost meet his maker in the opening sequence:

"As Stark is flying the ship, Downey Jr. goes and sits in the pilot's seat. Renner lies down on a table in the middle of the jet and clutches his stomach while a fake drip is attached to his arm. It's clear that, whatever went down at Von Strucker's, it has left the Avengers' ace archer in considerable distress."
