Behind the scenes photos of 'Avengers 2: Age of Ultron' have recently surfaced through an article published by Empire Online. The first-ever photo of the latest installment in the 'Avengers' franchise shows 'Bourne Legacy' action star Jeremy Renner, dressed as Hawkeye, apparently being coached by 'Age of Ultron' director Joss Whedon in preparation for a fight scene.

During an interview with the magazine, Whedon revealed how powerful the title villain, Ultron, might just be in the forthcoming film. The described the robotic villain as someone "with a touch of apocalypse inside him."

However, Avengers fans need not fret, as Hawkeye himself, Renner, told Larry King in an interview that his character does not die in the film. This comes as a disappointment not only to the title villain, but also to a handful of Marvel fans that seem to want to let the comic superhero go.

Rumor has it that Hawkeye will appear in the next 'Captain America' movie.

With the growing number of Marvel heroes in the Avengers movie, fans of the famous comic book series seem to be worried that some of their favorite superheroes may not be given their fair share of spotlight in the highly anticipated movie.

Rumors previously claimed that there is a significant possibility that the Falcon may be joining the 'Avengers 2' film, but producers have not commented on the issue yet. However, it is confirmed that Scarlett Witch, the Vision, Rhodey, and Quicksilver will appear in 'Age of Ultron'.

'Avengers 2: Age of Ultron' film production is currently in full swing and the movie is slated to premiere May 1 of 2015.
