Jeremy Renner Drops Clue On CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Role

Jeremy Renner Drops Clue On CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Role

The Avengers' most skilled marksman will have a "big", "physical" role in Captain America: Civil War. Whose side do you think Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) will take - Iron Man (Robert Downey jr.) or Captain America (Chris Evans)?

Speaking to ScreenRant to promote Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, actor Jeremy Renner teased his upcoming role in Captain America: Civil War.

"Yeah, yeah. It’s more active. A lot of fun stuff happening in that one. I can’t speak too much for it. They’re still filming that sucker right now. But yeah, there’s a lot of stuff happening in that one physically for me anyway. Then who knows in the future? I don’t know what’s going to happen."

Renner was also asked whether he thinks it's better for long-established franchises, such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to introduced new characters and phase out the older actors or remain focused on the original cast and let the actors age in place. Here's Renner's response:

"I think it’s probably both. It’s always great to know that you are going have a job next year or something. That’s a fantastic blessing for any actor. It’s nice to be able to continue things and characters that you’ve kind of grown with. But it’s always great to have new faces come in. They’re not big on replacing people and characters so much, which I think is smart, because there’s so many different characters. I think there’s going to be a lot of new faces coming up in that world. I’m happy just to be a part of that big universe."

Captain America: Civil War arrives in theaters on May 6, 2016. The film is directed by Joe an Anthony Russo from a script penned by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The film is based on the comic saga created in 2006 by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven.  The film will mark the thirteenth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

He's a fantastic Hawkeye. Brings just the right amount of flair to the role. He's been a personal favourite MCU character of mine since his cameo in Thor.

I'm glad they gave him some backstory in AoU. It made his presence missing in phase 2 more meaningful. I would love to see a Netflix Hawkeye series, filmed like a movie.

I'd imagine he'd be on Cap's team (that's the best way to get the iconic image of him shooting Ant-Man on one of his arrows haha), but it'd probably be more dramatically interesting if he and Black Widow ended up opposite each other. Maybe he switches sides and goes over to Stark? After all, he has his family to think about now, so he probably wouldn't be opposed to the government restricting superhero activities if that means less collateral damage and deaths of innocent civilians.

He is awesome as Hawkeye but AOU made him seem more reluctant hero than superhero. I'm hoping he gets some high tech shades from Stark to make him stand out better. Then go to Cap's side. Starks a douche in the comics and it's starting to feel that way in the movies to Cap's side all the way!

@KurtWagner1225 I'd actually like to see Hawkeye bust Scott's balls a bit. Critique his skills or lack of them lol. I always liked the arrogant cocky portrayal of Hawkeye.

It seems nearly everyone will be on Cap's side, where's the fun in that? I don't want Iron Man & government vs. "true" heroes, I want "mofos" vs. "even worse mofos".

Cap never got his Kooky Quartet. Thanks Whedon.

I think the Russos will capture the essence of Hawkeye perfectly in Civil War. Sad we couldn't see him in TWS hunting down Cap. Perhaps they'll be able to continue those lost efforts in the threequel. As for AoU the entire farm scene was laughable, I know Whedon wanted him to have a bigger role but some of his lines in that film was ridiculous.

I hope Daredevil brings in Maya Lopez so Hawkeye can become Ronin later on.

I thought Age of Ultron was a great sequel to the Avengers. I know it wasn't a perfect film but I thought it hit all the right marks as far as a comic book film goes. I was really glad to see Hawkeyes character fleshed out in AOU. His character didn't really get a chance to shine in the first film considering he was under Loki's mind control for almost the whole movie. Jeremy Renner always does a fine job with the material he is given and I believe he was perfectly casted in the role. I hope we get to see more of him in future MCU films and I hope we get to see him put in more of a leadership role as the MCU expands.

I think it would be really cool if we get to see Hawkeye become Ronin aswell. Depending where they want to take his character, I think it would be a great way to keep things fresh by having him don the Ronin persona.
