Jeremy Renner in talks to play Hawkeye!

[Mister Sinister]

From this month's Empire magazine (with the IM2 cover), it says it would be for a cameo in Thor and a full blown role in The Avengers.

"Hawkeye could be interesting", he says. "they're going to send me some stuff on it, see what it is. But I think they're pretty awesome, trying to make superhero movies almost plausible and not just some fantasy thing"

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Solid choice.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

who is he?
Okay. Did research on IMDB and the only thing I ever saw him in is the Assassination of Jesse James which was an outstanding and great movie but still I can't remember him

 

[Ipodman]

Wow.... Hulk in Iron Man 2, Hawkeye in Thor..

Hank Pym in Captain America?

He was the star of Hurt Locker, one of the most critically acclaimed movies of the year.

 

[chamber-music]

He was in 28 weeks later with Idris Elba. I actually think he would make a good Hawkeye.

 

[R_Hythlodeus]

Oh wait. He was Emerson in The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things! NOW I know who is. solid choice, he can act.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

I remember him in "Swat". Good choice.

 

[Webhead2006]

hmm not who i would pick for hawkeye but still a very solid pick. If it happens sounds good way to go about some of the other secondary avengers characters.

Oh wow -- this is good news!

 

[Chewy]

Jeremy Renner is awesome

Hopefully him revealing this doesn't cause Marvel to reconsider casting him

 

[Gotham]

He's incredible in The Hurt Locker. He may even score an Oscar nomination. Great choice, I think.

 

[Canis Sapiens]

Man, I really need to watch this Hurt Locker!

 

[Venom'sDad]

WOW... now that's great casting! I can see him in the role and he's a pretty good actor.

Bring on the manips

 

[NoirMan82]

This is awesome news. Renner is a top notch talent, and PERFECT for Hawkeye. I think Marvel is really starting to get a vision for what they want to do with their films, and Thor is getting a really, really strong buzz going. The next couple of years are going to be very exciting for Marvel.

 

[LiveWire777]

Its all coming together!!!! AAAAHHHHH Avengers movie = most epic thing to happen in this world since sliced bread

 

[[A]]

Really. Now, if the next movies aren't at least AWESOME, I'll be mad

We got Iron Man, which is great, and now Iron Man II will probably clean The Incredible Hulk's mess -- Thor is shaping up great -- now all we need is Captain America news

 

[Venom'sDad]

TIH was good and work well in the overall scheme of things.

 

[Spider-Vader]

hmm not who i would pick for hawkeye but still a very solid pick. If it happens sounds good way to go about some of the other secondary avengers characters.

Hey, wait a minute. I would say Hawkeye is a top tier Avenger character. I'd put him in fourth place after the Holy Trinity.

TIH was a good movie, it just didn't do amazing at the box office.

 

[NoirMan82]

I think Marvel is achieving something VERY special. For the first time in my life I feel like I am truly watching COMIC BOOK movies. Each of these films feel like separate story archs in a larger narrative, which of course would be the Avengers film. With the great talent these films have, it's like a wet-dream for a lifelong Marvel fan such as myself

Na 4th Place goes to Hank Pym

 

[Banshee]

Right. The Pyms come next, then Hawkeye, Scarlet Which, Quicksilver, Vision, and the like.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

This is a brilliant choice. I loved him in 28 Weeks and Hurt Locker.

Edward Norton was the perfect Bruce Banner for the movieverse.
