In a lengthy interview with
Get Hampshire on his role in
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Jeremy Renner was asked how that differs to working on
The Bourne Legacy.
"They’re very, very different pieces of cinema, both meant to entertain," he said.
"Mission’s a bit more fun, more smiles in it, it’s a popcorn movie. They’re obviously both spy movies but very different, Bourne’s never been on a mission, you know what I mean? You never see him do spy-work at all. He’s always running for his life and that’s kind of what that thing is in a sense."
When asked how far along filming is on the controversial film (fans weren't happy to hear that they were making a
Bourne flick sans Matt Damon) the Oscar nominated actor added:
"I’m halfway through, I finish that at the end of February."
"It was a lot of fun," Renner said when talk turned to the differences between
Ghost Protocol and
The Avengers.
"Mission was a massive movie then The Avengers came round, and that’s a huge movie. There are all these superheroes in it, passing a baton between superheroes There’s a lot of fighting! But that should be a big, fun movie. It’s a whole other world. We’re dealing with other worlds, and other things like Thor and all. Mission has got that more, I’m not going to say it’s the most grounded movie, but it’s got a sense of realism to it."
"We’re climbing that building. We’re doing these things. The circumstances might be fantasy but you know we’re doing real s**t. And when it comes to The Avengers that’s a bit more fantasy."
