After Jeremy Renner dropped some hints about a role for Hawkeye in Captain America 3, there's been a lot of talk about the fan-favourite archer finally getting the big screen treatment he deserves, with many wishing we'd seen him in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as was the plan at one point early on in production. In a recent interview with Superhero Hype, co-director Joe Russo had this to say about how Clint Barton's inclusion in the critically acclaimed sequel would have changed things. "We had great stuff for him actually in the film," he revealed without getting into specifics. "He had a couple of really cool scenes in the movie. It’s a big movie as it is, so it certainly helped that it’s not in there. I think it would increase the running time by about 10 or 15 minutes if they were in the movie, just because you want the right amount of time to actually treat those scenes properly. I think it was a scheduling issue."

The events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier obviously shook things up for TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but as for whether or not Director Coulson's plans will have an impact on Cap's adventures, Joe added: "We don’t know about that at this point only because it is an evolving process, you know? I’m sure if there’s anything relevant that comes from the show we’ll find out about, but as it stands now Cap 2 is a very SHIELD-centric movie and now that SHIELD is dissolved it’s not as big of a component in Cap 3." So, it sounds as if Captain America 3 will be a very different type of movie now that Cap is working for himself and on the hunt for Bucky! What do you guys think? Be sure to share your thoughts on these comments in the usual place.

Was wondering where he was...nice to have a director's cut with Hawkeye...

Hawkeye has potential to be cool and I think these guys could have pulled it off.

Josh Wilding has been popping most of the news on this site for more than a month now.

DCMARVELFRESHMAN used to have a monopoly on big Marvel news but not anymore.

Anyway

That would be awesome. Did they actually film scenes with Jeremy Renner though? I thought these scenes were just in the script.

@Dingbat Well he's always been a cool character they just have to show that in the MCU. Really hoping Age of Ultron is the start of that.

@RebelVulcan My take is that he couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts, but if he had the movie would have went over by like 15 minutes. Not "We had the scenes and cut them."

That sucks, Hawkeye could have used those 10 mins.

Still, awesome movie.

Hawkeye is not worthy of the bird jokes on tumblr...

Cap Rogers will recruit a small team of the lesser-known "least busy" Avengers, like Falcon, Widow, Hawkeye (If Renner is available), Quicksilver, Scarlet and maybe Vision? With cameos and appearences by Fury and Hill... They will go on the hunt for Bucky but also a small group of Hydra (Or AIM) is rebuilding under Baron Zemo? Red Skull? Alex Pierce? with Crossbones etc and they need to take them down aswell

Just get rid of the character, they have no idea what to do with him and I can't see that changing any time soon.

@CherryBomb They had 10-15 minutes planned for him so obviously they have an idea for the character. And Joss has stated he's a big part of Ultron.

@FearTheLiving

Yeah I like Hawkeye. He's cool but in the Avengers he was just kinda there. Like he slipped through the cracks and everyone was just like "okay you can be on the team I guess."

Oh. In that case I'd like to see a Director's Cut.

In another interview they said Hawkeye was supposed to chase Cap down, firing arrows closer and closer. Eventually it would come down to a hand to hand fight but Hawkeye whispers to Cap that his (Cap's) suit has a tracker. Since they are being watched he tells Cap to hit him and make it look good. The idea is obviously to convince everyone that Hawkeye is really trying to kill Cap and the idea that he gets knocked out yet again is quite funny - it could be a thing.

With the amount of badass fight scenes in Captain America The Winter Soldier, it's a damn shame that Hawkeye couldn't make it into the movie. I would love to see him kickass along side Cap and Black Widow, and do some crazy stunts with his bow and arrow.

Hawkeye in Cap 3

and keep Black Widow out this time around.

Its time for Hawkeye to shine

It was also clearer in the other interview that there were scheduling problems so they didn't get to film anything, they just wrote out the scenes. That also kind of explains Renner's comments about Cap 3, I am sure he wants to do it, but if they don't decide fairly quickly if they want him, he won't be able to do it again.

Where did you read that, that would be amazing.
It would show the trust they have with each other

I am kind of glad he wasn't in it I came to see captain America I like to keep the main focus on him.

@FearTheLiving

10-15 is hardly much considering he's supposed to be a main Avenger.
I think he's dying in AoU, it's an easy bet to make but I still think it'll happen.
McNyagano
McNyagano - 9/1/2014, 11:08 AM
yeah I read about the deleted scenes. He should have been there imo, would have been interesting. Whilst the film was great, having Shield get taken down without the inclusion of Clint was a bit weird.
McNyagano
McNyagano - 9/1/2014, 11:11 AM
@CherryBomb

Renner said Hawkeye will not die in AOU. Not that we should take his word or anything, he seemed damn pretty sure.
