Marvel Rumored To Be Plotting A Standalone HAWKEYE Movie But Will It Star Jeremy Renner?

As soon as I saw that this came from MCU Cosmic I knew manabyte was the source. Will wait for official word from Marvel before getting interested. It will only be worth watching if Jeremy Renner stars in it, though. Otherwise, I'll skip it.

Wouldn't mind a buddy movie with Kate Bishop and Barton.

We simply haven't had enough Hawkeye to bring in Kate Bishop as the titular role. I love Hawkeye [from the cartoons, and comics]. The movie version is OK but I feel you can give that bow to any ace archer and they can also be an avenger. Natasha has earned her spot on the Avengers roster through her heroics end of AVengers 1, to her taking co-leadership of the team at the end of Avengers 2.

The way they tried to make Hawkeye more important was by, giving him a family (?). That makes him even less worthy to be an avenger because his priority is not to the team, but to his family. I think it was an admirable attempt but misguided. My pitch to make Hawkeye awesome is to John Wick him. John is an ordinary man who happens to be deadly and skilled af. It's in the choreography of his moves and his tenacity going at it solo, that everybody knows John Wick is not to be effed with. He doesn't need powers. If they revamped Hawkeye's fighting style as Ronin, and had him switching between blade, fists, and bow as if he was pressing Y button on the Xbox controller... he would instantly be elevated up in the fan's eyes. He needs to kick ass and look good while doing so. SHow why he's an Avenger and how the team can rely on him to get the job done. They did such a good job upgrade Captain America's fight style for Winter Soldier. Give Hawkeye the same treatment and use John Wick as inspiration.

I'm all for new characters, but I'd like to see Renner to get his own movie before he's finished. I'd love to see him on some sort of international spy mission. It could be relatively low budget too, at least compared to other superhero movies.
