AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Fan Posters Make Up For Lack Of Hawkeye As Jeremy Renner Weighs In On The Matter
Hawkeye has been confirmed to appear in Avengers: Infinity War but there's been no sign of the archer in trailers or posters for the movie. Thankfully, these fan-made efforts more than make up for that.
Poor Hawkeye. Not only was he not featured on one of those Avengers: Infinity War Entertainment Weekly covers but Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton was also missing from the recently released trailer and poster. Needless to say, fans of the character aren't happy about that and some have decided to take matters into their own hands by changing that one-sheet to put the spotlight on the overlooked hero.
Chances are that there's a very good reason Hawkeye is being "ignored" by Marvel Studios; it could be that he has only a very minor role in the movie and will have a larger part to play in Avengers 4.
Bear in mind that [SPOILER ALERT] set photos for Avengers 4 have confirmed that he'll adopt his Ronin persona and that could be because his decision not to act during Infinity War led to their demise somehow. That's obviously just speculation for now, though, so we'll all have to wait and see.
Improved the INFINITY WAR Poster from r/marvelstudios
So, how does Jeremy Renner feel about Hawkeye's exclusion? Well, he interrupted one fan's conversation on Twitter and seems to be taking it all in his stride (hey, he gets paid poster or not).
