Empire announced that actor Jeremy Renner may well be the man to play Hawkeye.

When asked about The Avengers, Renner said: “I don’t know if I’d be right for Captain America. I met with the Marvel guys, actually, but we didn’t talk about Captain America. But one of the writers, Zak Penn, we’ve become friends over time and he was thinking maybe Hawkeye could be interesting. He sounds like an interesting character.”

As to whether or not Hawkeye will show up in The Avengers or Thor, the actor says, “If I was a betting man, I would bet that Hawkeye would probably show up in Thor, and then be in The Avengers. But do I know for sure? I can’t say. But I’d love for that to happen. It’d be fun.”

But let’s sound a note of caution: it’s by no means confirmed that Renner will actually turn out to be Hawkeye. He confirmed, saying, “No offer has been made. I think there’s a little ways from that.”





UPDATE: Renner told Superhero Hype! exclusively that there still is a possibility of him playing the character:

I haven't heard anything since I talked to them three weeks ago. The last I knew is that they still have to find their director for The Avengers, that's where he's really going to show up. They were just talking, 'Like maybe we should consider maybe hiring Hawkeye now' but there's no director on Avengers so they don't really want to force-feed the director, 'Here's the whole cast.' It's a big role so they didn't want to do that to the director, so I think they might wait. I know they're interested, I'm interested, so we'll see if it works out.

The actor also said that regardless of who's going to play the character, Hawkeye is going to get a serious makeover, "... it's not going to be the guy with the big purple (mask), it's not going to be a guy in tights. It's going to be a guy in sunglasses and a vest."

Ah so it's going to be Ultimate Hawkeye. I love both regardless (Ultimate Hawkeye has possibly one of my all time favourite comic moments involving his own fingernails) but I was hoping for the Purple costume.

I don't want to be the douche that judges people by their looks, but you kind of have to for actors in certain roles, Hawkeye is the manly man and this guy ain't no Hawkeye!

Awesome. As much as I want them to make the Avengers movie as classic as they can, I'd be up for them to remove Wasp and Ant-Man and put in badass avengers like Hawkeye and others.

Hawkeye is boring...rather watch a movie on Hawkman or Green Arrow,since Hawkeye is more or less a mix of the two,primarily Green Arrow.

Yeah I loved him in 28 Weeks later and Hurt Locker. He's a great choice for Clints shoes.

This guy doesn't look like hawkeye material, hawkeye is made of burlier stuff unlike this reedy little creature, he'd make a good Rick Jones though. Just give him long hair.
