    The clip begins with Weaver making his way through a wooded area while heading to school before he encounters Clint, who chastises him about his classes.

    Thomas’ character then tries to walk away from the bully, who follows him further into the wooded area.

    The pair then stop when they hear the growling of a hungry creature, and Weaver runs away while the beast pounces on and tears Clint apart.

    The clip ends with the young boy stopping at a partially deconstructed fence and looking back to witness the carnage.
