Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Rumours That Were Utter Bull

2. Hawkeye Is Reborn As Ronin

The Rumour: With Hawkeye's (Jeremy Renner) role in Infinity War being kept suspiciously under wraps, it's not terribly surprising that fans figured a major change was in store for the character, namely that some sort of cataclysmic event would cause him to re-emerge as Ronin, a bada** samurai who answers to nobody.

The Truth: Hilariously, Hawkeye doesn't even appear in Infinity War, and it's simply explained that both he and Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) decided to take deals that would allow them to live with their families while remaining under house arrest.

Presumably, we'll see Hawkeye's family get turned to dust in either Ant-Man and the Wasp's post-credits scene or the start of Avengers 4, which considering the set leaks of Hawkeye wearing a distinctly Ronin-like attire, will cause him to adopt the Ronin persona for the final battle against Thanos.

So, it's happening, but just not quite yet.
