Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Fresh Predictions Based On The Trailers
3. Hawkeye's Family Is Killed
Hawkeye fans have good reason to be seriously peeved at Avengers: Infinity War. Not only has the arrow-slinging assassin been absent throughout the film's marketing campaign, he doesn't get a second of screen time in the trailers.
This is unlikely to be because he's nobody's favourite Avenger. More fesibly, directors the Russo Brothers are keeping his role under wraps because major, life-changing events are in store for Clint Barton when Thanos comes to town.
Barton is one of the few heroes who will have a family to protect when the cosmic conflict breaks out, and you can bet his story arc revolves around him breaking away from the group in an attempt to get his loved ones to safety.
Now, we already know from set spoilers that Hawkeye will likely take on his Ronin identity from the comic books in the next Avengers movie, and the catalyst for this change in the source material was the death of his family.
Most of the Avengers will suffer loss or undergo great changes before Infinity War has run its course, and all signs point to terrible tragedy in the Barton household.
