THOR is just around the corner and excitement is at an all-time high for the project. Everyone is curious to see what the film will end up being like, and how it will tie itself into the upcoming AVENGERS movie. We had heard that we might have an Avenger show up in the film, but nothing had been confirmed. Until now.
Jeremy Renner’s portrayal as Hawkeye will apparently first happen in THOR, in what is assumed to be an extended cameo. At CinemaCon, Paramount showed off footage from the upcoming film and one scene involved Hawkeye working with Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson. Renner had several lines in the scene and even used his bow and arrow. No word yet if his part extends past this scene, though.
The description alone leaves a hardcore Hawkeye fan like myself salivating. My only fear is how they will handle the character, as there are many sides to the man underneath the mask, Clint Barton. Jeremy Renner has always been a pretty good pick for the role, however, as he seems to share the same demeanor.
If you can’t wait till May 5 to get your Hawkeye fix, then you should definitely check out Marvel’s Hawkeye: Blind Spot. It is a four issue mini-series they are currently running that gives some really great background into the character.
