The Avengers Jeremy Renner is 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"

 

[Steve Holt]

wooooo now this is a good choice, so sick of hearing about Jensen Ackles and Chris Pine

 

[terry78]

Not too shabby. Hurt Locker was well done.

 

[MadVillainy]

Hmmm I was hoping for Cam Gigandet for Hawkeye

but Renner is cool

.................


But seriously, Renner is GOLD!

 

[louiebling$]

What?

Cam would make a Great Hawkeye.. I kind of wanted a young Hawkeye.

I wish they would have casted this role younger but nonetheless Renner is an Amazing Actor and a sold choice for Clint.

Well, he's a terrible actor for starters...

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Like I said in the Thor thread, I loved him in 28 Weeks and Hurt Locker.

 

[louiebling$]

He's not terrible? He's not great either but he is a decent enough actor... and let's face it... we don't need an oscar winning actor to clay clint

 

[Kokomo29]

Do you guys think they will go with a more "classic" look for Hawkeye or do you think they will update him with more of an Ultimate Avengers look?

I think a Mixture of the two should suffice.

That's some seriously bizarre fan logic.

Why would you want them to go with a cardboard pretty-boy rather than an actor who could actually bring something exciting to the character? Why embrace mediocrity when there's a chance for something cool and special?

Yeesh, it's thinking like that that led to the Fox stable of superhero flicks.

 

[DocHoliday]

I'll be happy to see Hawkeye get some love. Renner is a great actor and will do Barton justice. For pete's sake release Hawkeye for Ultimate Alliance 2!

What's wrong with actually liking someone you don't?

Ha and no he wouldn't be a Fox Casting... he actually fits Clint very well and also has a lot of Martian Arts Training as well... I think he could do Clint justics and I'm not alone on that.

...and yet you just admitted he's only a "decent" actor. (Which, in itself, is very charitable considering his past track record.)

Yes he is decent... but there was a time when Renner was decent who's to say Cam can't reach that level?

With the talent that's on board with Thor and Avengers alike they could help him to be a better actor,that happens you know... a decent actor gets but into a film with a talented supporting cast and he comes out looking like a star,that's how actors break out ya know.

 

[xmfreak86]

I know this is a bit of a curveball and not exactly the right body type but with the announcement of Jeremy Renner maybe getting a part as Hawkeye.... I was thinking about Marvel's tendency for distraction. What I mean is it is pretty out of leftfield to all of sudden be hearing about Hawkeye when we havent even heard a peep about CA casting... While I am probably totally wrong about this... Could we maybe be seeing our own CA instead? I mean both 28 weeks later and The Hurt Locker showed he has the leadership, acting and gravitas to bring to CA imo...

Plus he never really specified in the article what part Marvel was actually looking into him for... hmmm...

Where is my.. wait, is this a *different* thread..?

Yes, but there are usually flashes of potential prior to breaking through. Renner has a history of strong work, with memorable appearances in "North Country", "Dahmer", "Assassination of Jesse James", "28 Weeks Later" and "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things".

Cam was out-acted by the entire cast of "The Unborn", "Twilight" and was a vapid and one-note in "Never Back Down".

I too thought they were going to cast younger with Cap and Hawkeye. I always thought that would be an interesting thing to see how Cap is young but is very responsible while Hawkeye is cocky. It wouldve been cool to see the difference between 2 young males from different eras


But I mean Renner is good. So Im not mad at all. Hope he gets an Oscar nom for Hurt Locker

 

[louiebling$]

Yea your right RENNER had some good work before.

And yea I hated Cam in Twilight his probably his worst performance. I thought he was decent in the Unborn and I really liked him in never back down, I also liked his work on The O.C.

I didn't mention it on this thread it was on the other Renner thread but I'm not mad at all in renner being Hawkeye the man is Talented as hell and we would super lucky to get him as Clint. My only gripe would be that I wanted a younger Hawkeye for reasons that Blackman just mentioned.

Agreed.
