'Avengers: Infinity War' Trailer: Where Is Hawkeye?

Here I Bow Again on My Own
Directors Anthony and Joe Russo explained to press Hawkeye won't be taking part in the biggest-ever assemblage of superheroes, instead going on his "own journey" when (almost) all of the shared Marvel Cinematic Universe unite to stand against Thanos and his nefarious Black Order.
"Hawkeye coming out of Civil War is in the same position that the Cap and Falcon are in at the end of that movie," said Joe Russo. "And Ant-Man. And coming into this movie, the characters who are on Cap's side coming out of Civil War, some made certain decisions and others made other decisions that led to different paths and them dealing with oversight in this movie in a different way. So, Hawkeye's on his own journey in this movie."
Anthony Russo explained Barton "has a unique reaction to the Civil War situation that puts him in a special spot this film," likely referring to his retired status revealed in the official Infinity War Prelude comic book.
In December, speaking publicly about Hawkeye's absence, actor Jeremy Renner said he doesn't pay attention to that sort of stuff.
"I was just excited that we got a trailer together and it's coming out -- that is a pretty killer trailer," Renner said.
"It's difficult, because you want to speak about the movie but you can't," a tight-lipped Renner said, adding: "There's a lot of superheroes in it. And it's gonna be big and it's gonna be awesome."
