Jeremy Renner in talks to play Hawkeye!

[Webhead2006]

oh yea i see no reason why he couldnt have like a dark navy blue/dark purple colors in his outfits. So far the marvel studios films are open to all the fantastical outfits and all that.

I still think a mix between House of M and Ultimate would be the way to go.

 

[Project862006]

whats house of m?

Using Nick Fury, Hawkeye and Black Widow as more behind-the-scenes SHIELD folk as Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor as the actual Avengers and Hulk as an on and off member/reason for their formation is the way to go if you ask me.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i wouldnt mind it going like that myself.

 

[sdn]

TIH was better than Iron Man.

I actually liked it better as well.

 

[Son of Coul]

Iron Man wasn't as sweet on rewatch, but still awesome, whereas TIH got better on rewatch for me. Both are solid 9/10 movies in my opinion.

I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they went in that direction, but I'd really, really prefer the Avengers to be a team of unabashed superheroes, period. Leave the black ops to SHIELD or the Thunderbolts or Cyclops' murdertastic X-Men or whatever.

 

[Son of Coul]

Well yeah, they wouldn't be Avengers themselves, just included in The Avengers movie as SHIELD agents working in the background of things.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I think House of M would work good on-screen. Maybe add a little more black & WALLAH perfect movie Hawkeye!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But I'd want Hawkeye as an Avenger. He's part of the handful I consider "core Avengers," along with Hank Pym, Thor, Cap, the Wasp, Iron Man, the Vision, and the Scarlet Witch. Although I guess you could substitute a black ops background instead of his small-time criminal background and still retain the "odd man out" feel that he had for a long time in the comics.

 

[Dog Brother #1]

what to take away from this is 1) If Hawkeye is in Thor, but they want to wait til the Avengers director is set to cast him then they probably have narrowed directors and we'll get an announcement soon. 2) It's gonna be Ultimate Hawkeye costume-wise. I'm fer it, but let the griping begin.

 

[Bren]

Not really bothered which outfit they use, but I still laugh when someone claims the 616 suit is implausible etc, and then immediately wants the 'ultimate' guns to be replaced with a bow and arrow. Honestly, how much more plausible is using a bow and arrow in crimefighting, compared to a styled suit that hides his identity? So what if it's odd. The dude actually DOES use a bow and arrow in crimefighting, we should EXPECT an odd suit from the guy t:!

Plausibility be damned I say!!!

btw, I'm all for the 616 outfit (made to look as functional yet cool as possible) with the bow/arrow and guns combo t:! And I really like Renner as Hawkeye (if he's cast).

 

[Spider-Fan83]

now, this is clearly the best choice for the movie outfit

 

[Tissues]

Not really a big fan of that costume, but he's really rocking the giant purple *****.

 

[Project862006]

safe to say he may look like this

[TheCorpulent1]

If they do go that way, I hope they find a way to replace the glasses or just leave his face bare. Glasses/shades/goggles as a replacement for superhero masks always, always, always looks lame.

But otherwise, I guess I wouldn't mind the Ultimates costume for Hawkeye so long as we get the bow and arrows (preferably the exploding/sonic/etc. arrows) and some kind of purple and/or blue color scheme.

 

[Nathan]

I just like the idea of glasses, because they could give him high-tech ones that have nightvision, zoom and other things. That would be extremely useful for someone like him.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I think some super high tech zoom/night vision goggles would work for someone like Hawkeye though. Maybe he could be like the stealthy, recon guy for the team or something?

 

[Nathan]

Ok, don't kill me, but how about the Smallville route? Manip this blue and purple and I wouldn't mind if Hawkeye would look similar in the movie. Heck, he's even got the high-tech glasses. Just get rid of the hood.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That god-awful Smallville Green Arrow costume is exactly the kind of thing I'd sell my left leg to see the Marvel movie people avoid with Hawkeye.

I think some super high tech zoom/night vision goggles would work for someone like Hawkeye though. Maybe he could be like the stealthy, recon guy for the team or something?

Just doesn't seem necessary to me. Hawkeye's the smarmy, wisecracking ass with a lot of hidden depth of the team. That role's worked extremely well for him for decades, yet now everyone wants him to randomly become an assassin or spy or whatever just because The Ultimates fad is still in right now.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

It's nothing to do with Ultimates.

I just think he hasn't got the fire power of Iron Man or Thor, so have him as the more discreet guy. Let's face it, he ain't gonna be barreling into a battle is he? He's more tactical. So I think some high tech tactical googles would suit him. I mean, he is called HawkEYE right? Give him some tech based super eye sight.

How did a soap-opera picture get here..?

Captain America lacks the power of Thor and Iron Man and the arsenal of Hawkeye. I very much doubt they're going to have him skulking around in shadows or using technological enhancements. If you want realism, there are plenty of movies out there for you. These are based on comics, where a guy who has nothing but a bow and an impressive array of arrows can survive just fine for decades alongside titans like Thor and Iron Man and a guy with nothing but a shield and some enhanced reflexes can easily tear through entire battalions in World War II.
