A new poster of “Avengers: Age of Ultron" has been released in Japan. The poster shows Hawkeye hugging a family. The poster was released by Comicbook Movie and reportedly hints at the storyline for actor Jeremy Renner’s character.

Warning: Spoiler Alert

According to Cinema Blend, Hawkeye will have a family in the movie, and the poster depicts a dramatic scene where he comforts them. The scene apparently comes during the backstory for Hawkeye. The woman shown in the poster is Linda Cardellini, who plays Laura, according to the website report. Laura has a farmhouse in the film where the Avengers go after they lose the first battle with Ultron.

According to the Avengers comic books, Hawkeye is a prominent member of the group. He was introduced as a villain in "Tales of Suspense" No. 57, but later joined the team of Avengers. Hawkeye’s alter ego is Clint Barton. After he acquired great archery skills, he was being called Hawkeye: The World’s Greatest Marksman.

Renner played Hawkeye in a cameo in “Thor,” and was seen in a full-fledged role in 2012's “The Avengers” and now in “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” He will also be seen in “Captain America: Civil War.”

During the promotion of “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Renner revealed that he does not engage in archery in real life. “I’d kill someone. I only did it properly once or twice for a close-up and they had to clear the set so it didn’t go in somebody," he told TV host Graham Norton, as Express reported.

Meanwhile, “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is scheduled to be released in Japan on July 4. The film stars Renner, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Cobie Smulders, Anthony Mackie, Hayley Atwell, Idris Elba, Stellan Skarsgård, James Spader and Samuel L. Jackson. The director is Joss Whedon.
