AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Star Jeremy Renner Clarifies His Black Widow Joke
"I'm unapologetic about a lot of things" - Last night on Conan, Avengers: Age Of Ultron star Jeremy Renner, who portrays Hawkeye, took a minute to elaborate on the Black Widow joke he and co-star Chris Evans came under fire for last month on the press tour. Come check it out!
Last month, near the tail-end of the massive Avengers: Age Of Ultron press tour, stars Chris Evans (Snowpiercer) & Jeremy Renner (Kill The Messenger) found themselves in a bit of hot water after a joke they made about fellow Avenger, the Black Widow, went viral. After the comments were blown way out of proportion, both actors issued quick apologies, with Renner's statement receiving a bit of initial flak, and the issue was seemingly forgotten as it got caught up in the hype surrounding the release of the Joss Whedon-directed film. Last night on Conan, Renner revisited the whole situation and clarified a bit on the initial joke.
Check out his comments in the video below:
Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
