Tony Stark - I could see them doing something that makes Robert Downey Jr. not have to come into the whole movie. They have to pay him a lot. He might be the highest paid actor now per movie. He might do some cameos but not in the entire thing similar to Spiderman Homecoming.

Not sure about Black Widow because they are supposedly pitching an all female type Avengers movie so not sure if she would be included in it. I could see Hawkeye getting killed or possibly injured to the point he retires and goes back to his family.

They have to do something because you can't have this many heroes and have any kind of screen time for all of them.
Yeah, I'm leaning Hawkeye. They kind of foreshadowed it in Age of Ultron. If they do Tony Stark like the comic books (SPOILERS!!!!) he goes into kind of a suspended animation in a cryochamber due to his expensive injuries. But he uploads his consciousness to an AI that the Avengers use from time-to-time and he replaces Jarvis in the new Iron Man's (Iron Heart) suit. It would be an easy way to keep Tony Stark in the movies but he would just have to do some voice acting.
