Jeremy Renner Talks Hawkeye's Future In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

I approve CapFanLex005's comment

@Grif you're a waste of time... Bazinga. :)

@Grif...you got a purty mouth.

Easily my favourite character in The Avengers, hope they give him a solo movie; a Hawkeye and Black Widow movie would be equally awesome.

I'm hoping the Cap movie will sort of be like a S.H.I.E.L.D movie with Cap being the main character and then have Widow and Hawkeye side stories.

Hawkeye needs to die in the next flick. That'll blow people away and give the Avengers something to galvanize them.

How come it posted twice @vtopa

If he actually looked like the character. Then his solo movie "might" be interesting. So much for the "characters not looking like the comics" debate.

Damn I was hoping hed be in Cap 2

i would love to see a solo hawkeye movie after phase 2. SORT OF an "old-man hawkeye" type of deal. the earth now has super heroes and aliens and mutants and gigantic intergalactic wars and here's just one regular guy with no powers, a couple of arrows, and his bow. i think that would be cool.

People have been saying since the Coulsons death that people need to die in the MCU for it to have a real threat level. I think Hawkeye will be the one to bite the bullet before Avengers 2.

I'd like to see him in Cap 2 (and suspect he'll get a call to join production about 2 weeks before filming), but if we had to lose an Avenger to make room for Ant-Man in the sequel, I'd be ok with it being him or Black Widow.

oh no god he was terrible as hawkeye hes not supposed to be a loner hes the asshole of the avengers he was just portrayed bad

Hopefully he makes appearances in either of the next movies to get himself more out there. Didn't get a good enough background in Avengers.

It should be nice a SHIELD movie (with Nick Fury, Valentina de Fontaine, Clay Quatermain, Maria Hill, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spider-Woman, Mockingbird, Silver Sable) against HYDRA (Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, Madame Hydra and the Serpent Society)

I was gladly surprised by both him and Black Widow in Avengers.

I think all of phase 2 needs small cameos from a character here and there to keep this vibe going

I love Hawkeye, make a solo movie happen. Renner is more like the Ultimate Hawkeye (attitude and costume). Hopefully in the future he becomes more of a smart ass.

WHOEVER "GRIF" IS HE'S A 500 POUND PUSSY WHO LIVES IN HIS SINGLE PROSTITUTE MOTHER'S GARAGE. [frick] OFF DOUCHEBAG.

Hawkeye RULES!! Renner-AWSOME!

@ELgUaSoN What happens in Hungary, stays in Hungary. :P

I was hoping we would find out more about that too. Maybe someday we will. Whatever happened, I'm sure it had something to do with the incident at the hospital Black Widow was involved in.

If Marvel Studios does a Hawkeye spinoff movie, I wouldn't mind if it was an origin movie at all. They should make it similar to the 616 comics, where he is a career criminal, who is inspired to turn his life around by becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, after seeing news reports of Iron Man. I think that would be the prefect way to kick off his story in the MCineU.

i'd rather have a shield and a black panther movies than a guardians of galaxy and an ant-man movies.

for me the Pyms can either be introduced in the shield movie or cap 2, or even a black panther movie, while the GotG can come AFTER the end of phase 2.

Whether you are a fan of the archer or not (I'm guessing most of you are not) - you really don't get to know him, or care. Which is a shame because I personally like both the character and the actor. The fact that they are using elements from both the Avengers and the Ultimates opens up possibilities.

However, in the Avengers, Hawkeye is not so much as a character as he is a plot device. Even after the credits roll, the viewer still knows very little about him - only that he is an unparalleled expert marksman, a SHIELD agent, has a grudge against Loki and a deep history with the Black Widow.

There are many ways one can interpret Mr. Renner's composure in this and other interviews.

He may in fact be burnt out from doing these types of characters (action hero, sniper, spy, brooder etc.). Renner comes across as an actor who wants diversity and prefers a challenging role. In the beginning he may have been lead to believe that Hawkeye was going to have a rich colorful character, but instead found himself playing another version of what he's done in the past. That being said, I don't think he's going to jump on the idea of signing up to do another Marvel movie unless they give his character something more to do. And after all is said and done, it really all depends on how much Marvel is willing to invest in the character of Hawkeye - which in the foreseeable future does not seem likely.

The fact that he referred to Marvel as "puppeteers" may in fact support this, and suggest that he has some differences as to Marvel's direction in general. Renner comes across to me as a guy who tells it like it is.

Then again, he could just be playing his cards really close to the chest and won't try to divulge a whole lot of info. For all we know, he (and Scar-Jo) might've already signed on to do Captain America:WS and they are keeping it under wraps.

As for a SHIELD aspect, I believe that it does warrant its own movie (or two). Having a the element of SHIELD helps keep the MCU grounded in (relative) reality. Most if these agents are, for the most part, non-super powered human beings who utilize their skill sets and wits in order to stop the bad guys. Just like the original Iron Man that started it all, it has the potential to introduce more relatable characters into the MCU.

Anyways, that's just my two cents.
