yes please...I saw that and had to take a minute. Because the tat sleeve just amps it all up.

I mentioned this on the discord, but it kinda reminds me of Central American/Mexican death/revenge imagery.

Honestly? I'm beginning to think they plucked this Clint from another dimension via the Reality Stone.

Agreed. I’d like to see that played out. Let’s get to know this Clint Barton!

I read a tiny ficlet on Tumblr today playing on that... :)

YES I really think so!! And honestly, I'm here for it :D

HERE FOR IT. All the dimensions in the multi-verse. (hey, which one has Gwen Stacey? Which has Peter B Parker? HMMMM.)
((Uh, I may have just watched Into the Spiderverse last week and it was DELIGHTFUL))

I can TOTALLY get behind this idea!

oooo that's a good theory!

Like this Clint got Dusted as well so they use the Reality Stone to get a Clint/any Clint to round the team out but this one has Seen Some Stuff hence the hair and the tats. (like he went on the run with Cap after escaping the Raft or even didn't get picked up by SHIELD at all and is an assassin for hire)

Omg I want so badly for them to have a spider-verse style team up for.... EVERY MEMBER of at least the OG Avengers.

YES PLEASE

Pretty much this. ⬆︎

I've been seeing so much around the internet about the time jump theory that I'm completely on board with the idea that this Clint is not the Clint we've known. It seems an odd way for him to "act out" with everything else he's gone through.

LAR!!! It's been ages! Welcome back!!! :)

Also, yes. Totally.

I've missed you all soooooo much! Can you believe that no one else CARES how the color of Natasha's hair is somehow internal to the main plot of End Game? Or will even debate with me over the identity of the girl that Clint is watching shoot the arrow. OR EVEN CARES!

But I knew the bar was out there, waiting for me with arms wide open and opinions on EVERY SECOND OF THE TRAILER!

I thought I had feels in Age of Ultron! Oh, man! I have so many more feels!!!!

If those feels brought you back here, that's a great thing!!!!

PS I care about the little girl. I'm convinced it's Lila and you will see her dissolve in the continuation of the shot - but there's a theory it's Kate (which it may be if we're in an alternate universe).

I want it to be Kate with every fiber in my body!!!!!

I really have nothing substantive to add. I lose my train of thought every time I see this image. I’m just sitting here staring. Please pardon the drool...

THere was a puddle between Athena, Holly and I on twitter. *g*

same tbh

No drool for me... :P Probably because my mouth went *dry* - presumably from having dropped open and stayed that way for WAY too long.

1. HOW IS IT THAT I FIND THIS SO HOT?!
2. I'm all for this being an alt-reality Clint that was with Natasha. As in this little ficlet -- Resurrected

Or this one - Sanctum :P

YES! EXACTLY!

There also, to me anyway, seems to be something different about his build. I don't know if it's the angle of the shot, but he seems ... leaner? I mean, yeah, time has passed but it's an interesting thought that this could be a Clint from a different universe/dimension.

When I first saw the trailer on the rather small screen of my phone, I actually thought my eyes played a trick on me ;) But then I saw it on the laptop, and I went: WOW!!! I mean, it's friggin' beautiful, and absolutely something that I can see Clint really getting. Wonder if we get at least some kind of explanation in the movie.

And while I'm joining the line for Alt!Clint (and him being an item with Nat!), I'm also open for the idea that the tat is our world's Clint's way of dealing with the snap. As we were told in Age of Ultron, he always has a pic of his family hidden somewhere in the uniform. So this is, more or less, the next step - having his lost loved ones with him all the time, but this time in a more permanent, more powerful way.

All are good options. Because let's face it - if we get to have a close-up of Clint with his arms bare, do we really need to question why...?

Exactly!! ;)

See to me it could make sense to have both the Mohawk and the tattoos the result of an accident following the snap. the mohawk to be able to easily stitch and head injury and the tattoo to cover over possible scaring. it seems to go further up on to the shoulder. The colours are what gets me. the green seems a bit strange, not many green tattoos about, and the green gem is the time gem (i think) so maybe this is a Clint from a different timeline?

I'm here for all the Alt!Clints, whether displaced temporally, psychologically, universally or otherwise. :D

Deep down i just really want to see Natasha's reaction to the tattoo will she like it or hate it? If theyre going down the clintasha route will the changed look bring up old feelings?
