Jeremy Renner took the time to talk with MTV News (via telephone) from the set of Mission Impossible in Dubai. While they discussed many topics (some of which have already been reported here) they did touch on some new
Avengers information.
On when he finally tries on Hawkeye's costume for the first time...
"That's when I'll feel, 'Oh, I'm really going to have to start working out."
On researching Clint Barton (aka) Hawkeye...
"I don't know a lot about the Hawkeye character, but I've been digging around a bit and there are things from his past I think I could play out physically. I have a few ideas of certain styles of training I want to do for that character. Bow-and-arrow stuff is the obvious one. I think I'm going to have to do some lifting for that. I'm curious to hear what Joss and the Marvel guys think about when I run a few ideas by them."
On which version of Clint Barton's origins would be brought to the big screen, classic criminal turned hero or Ultimate government agent...
"We didn't get into any of that. What I do know, I can't really discuss, because who know if it's still true — he could take it a whole other direction. I'm just as curious as you are."
Hawksblueyes: While I am a classic Hawkeye fan all the way, I wouldn't mind a mixture of the two characters as long as we get classic, smart ass Hawkeye's personality.
