We last saw Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye at the end of the box office juggernaut The Avengers going his separate way from the team. While doing his press rounds for his latest movie, The Bourne Legacy, Renner talked with MTV about the character and his desire to play him again. He also said that at the moment he has no idea where the character will go or when he will play him again. He said Marvel are the puppeteers of the character and has no idea whats going on.


"It's a great character. There's a lot to explore there for me personally but I have no idea where they'll go with it. That's another sort of, [there are] puppeteers, they have their own ideas. I have no idea what's going on, people are probably more informed than I am of the reality of me being in another movie."


There were rumors floating around that Renner and Scarlett Johansson would be making an appearance in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but based on what Renner just said it seems that is highly unlikely. You can Check out Jeremy in Marvel's The Avengers when it is released on blu-ray on September 25th later this year.

I would love for 2015 to have a Shield movie so we can explore the agents better. Hill, Fury, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Falcon....

Then also have Black Panther and Hulk 2 in 2015. :)

Tragically underused and his cynicism was overshadowed by RDJ. As was everyone.

He deserve his own movie after his performance in The Avengers and cameo role in Thor.

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 would die of extreme joy if we ever got a Hawkeye solo movie. I nearly pissed myself from his awesome presence in Avengers. so as long as he's in Avengers 2, and maybe a cameo somewhere else... A Hawkeye movie would be a dream come true. but who knows. Avengers already proves that dreams can come true.

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.

I would like to see expansion on his character, he worked fine as a badass shield agent who was good with a bow, but he never felt like he was a genuine superhero, I want to see him like he truly is in the comics, smart ass badass. And please give him an actual suit.

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

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.

$50 he or Widow dies in the next few movies.

Other than Chris evans and sebastian stan i dont think anything is set cast wise s he could still be in CA:TWS. I hope to see him, Black widow and at least Maria Hill if not Nick Fury

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.

OdinsBeard - 7/25/2012, 12:12 PM
he makes hawkeye more important by being jeremy renner playing hawkeye.

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.

@Dunejedi1 - Personally I think having non-super heroes with above average skill sets adds to the realism of the avengers/marvel universe. Keeps the films more grounded and realistic. I think that the Falcon and Black Panther will also follow these guideline. Less superpowers... more above average skill sets.

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

Give hawkeye a mask, so that people would see him as a hero instead of an agent with a bow. hell, if cap and ironman can cover their face, hawkeye could as well.

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 would be nice if he made a solo Hawkeye movie, or he takes the place of Agent Colston in the other movies to mesh everyone together for Phase 2

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)

why not? they can make both of them

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

my recommendation: A prequal movie with Hawkey and Black Widow!!!how they started in the game, how they met, and how they finally became members of shield!!

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.

Hawkeye / Hulk team up flick: perfection. Both are better playing off of other characters.

Yes! I would love to see and Agents of SHIELD Spinoff with Fury, Hill, Hawkeye Widow & Falcon.

Renner was so awesome as Hawkeye and love the Hawkeye/Hulk team-up!!

Black Panther, Hulk 2, SHIELD & Avengers for 2015!!!

I was hoping we would get more of Hawkeye's story in The Avengers.

He was under Loki's control through half of the movie so his character wasn't as developed as everyone elses. I thought he was adapted very well in The Avengers.

I would really like to see a solo Hawkeye movie. It think it would awesome, if done right.
