The Avengers Be honest...

[Silvermoth]

whenever I hear people complaining against more women Avengers they seem to mention alot that the cast list is big enough as it is so...

Should Hawkeye have been replaced with a female Avenger and saved for a sequel?

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I need my Renner NOW!!

 

[Chewy]

Hawkeye is far, far more important to the Avengers' history than She-Hulk or Tigra. Scarlet Witch is up there, but Hawkeye still trumps her.

Ms Marvel or Wasp or Scarlet Witch can be added in a sequel - I'm more than fine with the roster as is. I think people are making too much of the lack of female presence. Would they rather one of the big three or Hulk be excluded? Beyond them it's just Hawkeye and Black Widow.

 

[SuperSAINT]

Nope. I'm glad Hawkeye is in and even more pleased they've landed someone like Renner. I'm curious whether they may be tempted to add him to the bookend of the Captain America movie.

 

[BigSams50]

Definitely Hawkeye. I'm expecting Renner to put on a great performance

 

[Iron_Stark]

Hawkeye, especially if Renner is playing him.

 

[RaZaTrOn]

People seem to forget that the Original Avengers only had one female presence.

Original Line Up - Iron Man, Thor, Wasp, Ant-Man, Hulk and Cap.

Movie - Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk and Cap.

Wasn't Wasp a big part of the founding Avengers, along with Hank Pym?
I thought the original pre-Cap Avengers consisted of: Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Pym and Wasp?
Then Cap was thawed, Hulk went off on a rampage and they didn't wanna touch him... to summarize.



In response to OP: I have a feeling there may be secondary female characters like Betty, Pepper, Jane... to balance out the cast.
I don't think they wanted to put in She-Hulk or Tigra, because a random alien looking character might seem completely out of place and just would've seemed like they popped out of no where without a detailed backstory.
Same with Scarlet Witch, way too much back story to be created as part of an ensemble without a spotlight on her prior to.

Where as Hawkeye doesn't need explanation of powers, origin story, etc etc... he's skilled and awesome, that can be it.

EDIT: Thanks RaZaTrOn.

It's funny that people always argue and create such uproar about minor changes in comic book movies... but I've heard li'l to nothing about them changing the original Avengers line-up for the movies.

I expected to hear a few people pissed and outraged. lol.

 

[misjuevos]

im just curious if hawkeye will get a spinoff?

Probably because Edgar Wright's the reason the Pyms won't be in this, and most people around these parts love them some Edgar Wright

I don't get why people don't understand that Edgar Wright's the reason that Pyms are not in the film.

And this "female Avenger" question is getting a little redundant. There are already 3 other threads that address the female Avenger issue.

Yea, that didn't make much sense to me either.
Don't get me wrong, I love me somt Wright.

But why go forth with a Wright helmed Ant-Man film who was part of the original Avengers, when they've been planning a this whole Marvel Movie-verse?

And it doesn't seem the Ant-Man movie is gonna be connected to the whole Avengers films they've got going now... is it?
It's these wierd inconsistencies that kinda make me go

 

[Aztec]

1) The Pyms are not in this movie (or at least not anything more than a passing cameo).
2) There is only one female Avenger and her name is Black Widow. There's no "subtext" to his comment ('Maybe he meant only one female Avenger...with red hair...and Wasp is in!!') so get over it and move on.
3) Mark Ruffalo is Bruce Banner not Edward Norton.
4) Marvel's Avengers strategy is ambitious and creative and is clearly not interfering with the solo films.

Is there anything else I can clear up for you guys right here rather than having 15 threads dedicated to arguing the same silly points?

 

[Squidboy]

Bring on the female Hawkeye, make both parties happy!

 

[Figs]

Hawkeye all the way.

Sure, thanks...how about; why can't Spider-Man be in it, would this be better set in the 60's, will Black Widow user her stingers, since Jarvis is currently a computer voice will they eventually make him a robot human looking body, could that lead to Ultron or the Vision, do you think they may introduce The Scarlett Witch but not say she's Magneto's daughter, is Michael Weston cool or what, any possibility that Hugh Jackman will pop in for giggles, do you think any Skrulls will show up, Inhumans...what's up with them?

Yes to all

All those threads are about different subjects, not just "Female Avengers". This is about whether Hawkeye or a woman Avenger should have been included in the film's line up, the other is wether or not the Avengers need more women and the third is about which of the most famous female Avengers should have been in the film.

 

[Mac_Hine]

Purple Arrow all the way!

Yeah, I see no overlap there at all...

 

[Spider-Vader]

Hawkeye he's a bigger Avenger than any female Avenger besides Wasp.

All the female Avengers (yet again besides Wasp) would need origin stories & I don't think there'll be time in this movie for many origins.

 

[marcvader]

What he says^

 

[Doctor Jones]

What do people want to see more?

Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye or... the Wasp?

Hmm, well this is a tough one...

 

[marcvader]

Actually I prefer both Antman and Wasp to Hawkeye.
