Say what you will about Hawkeye, but ever since we last saw him up on the big screen – which was in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, for those keeping track – things haven’t exactly been smooth sailing for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, which tells us that the guy with the bow and arrow may actually be more important to the team than many of us realize. Fortunately, then, Clint Barton’s set to return next month in Avengers: Endgame, and when he does, he’ll be sporting a whole new appearance.
Indeed, the film’s trailers have more or less confirmed the popular theory that Jeremy Renner will be suiting up in the Ronin persona, and while they haven’t given us a great look at his outfit just yet, we have seen glimpses of it. Thanks to this new toy, however, we now get our best look at Ronin’s appearance to date, with several images showing off the character’s costume and weapons in a lot of detail.
While Kevin Feige and co. are being characteristically stingy with their Clint Barton material, and it remains to be seen what exactly inspired the hero’s change in style in Endgame, it’s become a common prediction that all or at least some of Clint’s family was killed in the universe-wide Decimation that we witnessed back in Infinity War.
Chalk that up as speculation for now though as again, Marvel are remaining tight-lipped in regards to Hawkeye/Ronin’s arc in the upcoming film. Thankfully, then, we don’t have too much longer to go until we find out for certain what put Clint in such a bad mood, as Avengers: Endgame hits theaters next month, on April 26th, and will forever change the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
