It was widely reported last year that Renner was favourite to play Hawkeye, but the actor was too busy with other filming commitments to confirm.
Hawkeye’s weapon of choice is a bow and arrow, and he has an accuracy Legolas would be proud of. Hawkeye was first introduced as a reluctant villain in Marvel’s comic, Tales of Suspense #57, and was not initially a member of The Avengers. It wasn’t until he switched sides that he became a long standing member of the Avengers team.
You have to agree, The Avengers cast and crew is pretty fricken impressive; Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson and Don Cheadle will all reprise their roles from Iron Man (Tony Stark, Black Widow, Nick Fury and War Machine respectively), Chris Evans will play Captain America and Chris Hemsworth will play Thor.
Still to be confirmed is who will portray the role of the Hulk. Most showbiz types are betting on Edward Norton, but we’d prefer Eric Bana – much more believable!
Either way, Joss Whedon is writing and directing and the cast looks amazing – this is a film we cannot wait to see!
