"Captain America: Civil War" is set to feature a teamwork and powers involving the iconic Avenger archer Hawkeye and the psychic user Scarlet Witch, according to Jeremy Renner's photo.
Renner will reprise his role as Clint Barton, also known as Hawkeye, in Joe Russo and Anthon Russo's upcoming film "Captain America: Civil War." The actor took to Whosay to share a photo of the behind-the-scenes look at what Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch, who is played by Elizabeth Olsen," are set to do in the forthcoming superhero film.
It is notable that Hawkeye is aiming with his bow, but is not holding any arrow in Renner's photo. According to Comic Book, the arrows are added in with "special effects" in post production. In addition, it can be seen that Olsen's Scarlet Witch is looking at something, on the same direction as Hawkeye's.
With this scenario, it is interesting to see the newly bonded Avengers hit their enemies with psychic arrows generated by Scarlet Witch and fired by Hawkeye. In fact, the latter is set to unleash new powers, such as floating in air, according to Cinema Blend.
"Captain America: Civil War" follows the clash between Captain America and Iron Man following the release of the Sokovian Accords. The two Avengers form their own factions, with Hawkeye joining Captain America, The Winter Soldier, Falcon, Ant-Man, and Agent 13, while Iron Man is joined by War Machine, Black Widow, Vision, and Black Panther.
While Scarlet Witch is seen with Captain America's team in the "Captain America: Civil War" trailer, previous reports noted that Quicksilver's twin sister serves as a wild card in the film. Spider-Man is also set to appear in the film, but his side remains unknown until now.
The Russos' "Captain America: Civil War" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on May 6, 2016 while Watts' "Spider-Man" reboot premieres on July 28, 2017.
