The new Avengers: Infinity War Prelude comic reveals that Hawkeye is officially retired when Avengers: Infinity War begins.
Marvel has released the official tie-in comic for Avengers: Infinity War that fills in some of the story following Captain America: Civil War.
Regardless of where things go, it’s safe to say Hawkeye will at least have some curmudgeonly things to say about being pulled out of retirement in Avengers: Infinity War.
With Hawkeye missing from the Avengers: Infinity War trailer, it only added to the sense that Clint Barton would be undergoing something major in the new film.
