Hawkeye In THE AVENGERS Is...

Published at:  Jun 04, 2010 9:43:51 AM CDT


Merrick here...



Looks like Jeremy Renner (THE HURT LOCKER, THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES, 28 WEEKS LATER) will play Hawkeye/Clint Barton in the slowly gathering steam AVENGERS movie. This confirms months old (but wobbly) rumors that Jeremy might be taking that role, probably for that particular film.

Renner will play the bow-and-arrow-carrying hero Hawkeye, who, while not one of the initial members of the team when it was created in the 1960s, became an integral member soon after when the misguided villain switched sides.
[EDIT]
Renner will join Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man/Tony Stark, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Don Cheadle as War Machine.


...says THR HERE.

Once swept up in the French and Indian War in Colonial America (1754-1763), Hawkeye went on to serve as a doctor with Mobile Army Surgical Hospital #4077 in the Korean Conflict (1950-1953) before debuting as a Marvel comic book character in 1964.

    by royston lodge

    I've been pretty pessimistic about the prospects of an Avengers movie not degenerating into a boatload of cheese.
    But if Hulk is the villain, and they go balls-out with that concept, I can see something pretty special coming out of it.
    I'm still pessimistic though, cuz I doubt they'd really go as far with the concept as they should. They'll wuss out, cop out, and back off from the potential awesomeness out of fear of alienating too much of the audience.

    rev_skarekroe mate you are totally right a huge marvel movie with such a roster of talent and characters is great, great examples of oceans 11 etc but also think lord of the rings! star wars! all had large casts of big characters Also potentially 4 of the main characters (cap thor iron man and if he is in it hulk)and a handful of supporting roles will have all appeared in erlier films so there is plenty info on their backstories before this even starts meaning it can get straight into a huge avengers action moveie! This (if done right) could be a brilliant film, the type comic fans have waitied for years for. Im shocked to see how much hate goes around towards this when this is surely the type of film that every fanboy and geek has wished for. Come on man AICN and its loyal following live for this kind of stuff!!!!!!!

    by horgy

    Although they got a good actor to play Hawkeye, it could amount to a cameo. Remember when everyone was moist about seeing Hank McCoy on TV in the first X-men? Could be the same thing. I'm sure that, unless Hawkeye gets his own movie (soon,) That Thor, Cap, Iron Man and the Hulk are going to be your leads. If any "new" main character is going to be introduced, I'd expect Ant Man, maybe Wasp (just to have another hot woman) or the "real" villain, once they find out that the Hulk isn't really all that bad. (please Ultron!)

    Hulk will be the villain but we'll find out

    by sailor rip

    someone is controlling the Hulk and they'll be the main villain.

    Hulk in the movies when he Hulks out isn't bad. He just destroy's shit because the Army is always up his ass and won't leave him alone.

    AVENGERS PLOT:

    Hulk starts attacking civilian and military target without provocation.

    A team is needed to deal with this.

    Avengers assemble. Fight Hulk. Find out he's being controlled by something. Maybe Ant-Man goes in his ear and finds a tiny transmitter.

    Real villain emerges.

    Hulk helps save the day at the end, joins the Avengers.

    Scene after credits sets up sequel.

    by curious jorge

    is that he carries a finite amount of arrows. So, in a big battle sequence, he pops off a dozen arrows and calls Jarvis to bring the limo around. Sure, in the comic books, you can believe that his quiver magically has an infinite number of arrows, but that won't fly in a live action movie.

    The 70's version of the Vision is my favorite character

    by chewtoy

    But I'm not convinced that Hollywood could do the character justice. Hell, since the 70's so many comic creators have destroyed the character through bad interpretations that I honestly have no idea what Hollywood would even do with him. He used to be fairly simple... an artificial man like Bishop from "Aliens" with repressed emotions and a tendency for them to boil over to the point that he'd beat the holy shit out of villains now and again and have a mutual swoon-fest with the Scarlet Witch. Then in the 80's John Byrne literally and figuratively took his balls from him, and made him some lame clone of Data from Star Trek, complete with being a full on robot instead of made of synthetic organs and such. I should probably hope for the comics to do the character justice again before Hollywood ever takes a crack at him.

    Drsambeckett1984: it depends on the character

    by royston lodge

    In some ways I agree, but in other ways I do not.
    Firstly, when it comes to characters' powers, in many cases you are spot-on. This is most evident with characters like Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Mr. Fantastic, Ant-Man, etc.
    But the characters that are most clearly DC rip-offs are mostly relatively minor characters. The major Marvel characters (Spiderman, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, X-Men, Daredevil, etc) are not carbon-copies of DC characters.
    The best illustration would be the "Amalgam" crossover from a few years back. Some of the match-ups were really easy, because the characters were so similar.
    But other match-ups weren't nearly so obvious. I don't consider Superman and Hulk to be doppelgangers, but that was the match-up. I don't consider Batman and Captain America to be doppelgangers, but that was the match-up. Wonder Woman vs. Storm? Spiderman vs. Superboy? The list goes on.
    Secondly, when it comes to the personalities and the characterizations I don't think it's necessarily true at all that Marvel simply copies DC.
    The personalities and back-stories for SO many Marvel characters were way more fleshed out from the very beginning than most of the DC characters. DC added extra dimensions to their characters later on, but that was rarely how they started out. Most of them were conceived as simple "strong-men beating up bad guys."
    Way more Marvel characters had inconvenient private lives and/or moral dilemmas they had to deal with.
    - Spiderman always had his teenage angst, his romantic entanglements, his flaws and his failures, etc.
    - The X-Men always had the subtext of racism and xenophobia.
    - Hulk was always an anti-hero who couldn't really control his own power.
    - Hawkeye and Mockingbird had their marital problems.
    - Alpha Flight had to deal with being tools of a corrupt government.
    - Tony Stark had his alcoholism.
    - Even minor characters like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch had their sibling rivalry.
    In contrast, the big DC characters like Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, etc, didn't get any interesting personal stuff until way later in their careers. Like, when Supes married Lois, or Batman after Jason Todd died, or Green Arrow after he became a socialist, or Flash after he went public with his secret identity, etc.
    In short, I think the "Marvel just copies DC" meme only goes so far, and only applies to a minority of Marvel's characters.

    Marvel films need a villain with an actual plot.

    by chewtoy

    And no, killing the hero isn't enough of a plot. Both Iron Man movies and the Hulk end with a big fight for the sake of a fight. There's nothing more at stake, no larger villainous goals to thwart. The Iron Man vs. Terrorists stuff in the middle of the first movie is much more engaging because we *really* want to see the hero prevail, take those bastards down and rescue the hostages. It's not a situation that exists solely because the villain is trying to draw the hero out into a fight... it feels like the hero is actually doing some good.

    An open letter to JDanielP...

    by reality

    I haven't been on here recently due to life getting in the way, but I saw a talkback and comment and had to say something. Harry is producing a doc on SDCC and looking for subjects, to which you replied you would do... but only if you got a shot at a big budget blockbuster. Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? Giving demands when in no place to give demands? Look, you've been posting here for almost a decade, I reckon. A decade. How close are you to your dream? Is it not worth it? Are you not that talented? You boast of your creativity... where is it? A creative person would have written dozens of scripts and filmed dozens of shorts by now. You offer your services to Hollywood. Studios hire doers, not dreamers. And not off of Internet forums not half as influential as they used to be. I cringed when Mr Miracle and kintar0 used to rip on you because clearly you are filled with childlike wonder and dreams... but that gets you nowhere. This is a challenge, JDP. Even MediaMessiah eventually posted something he wrote on here. It sucked, but he did it. And he's a 1000x closer to making it than you are because of it. Don't come back here without a script. Two of them. My own screenwriting professor says studios will not touch an unknown without something completed. Not "if they'd buy it I'd write it.". Again, you're nobody. Can't make demands. Write scripts... based on your OWN ideas, not corporate properties you don't own. Film YouTube shorts. You have the materials. Sam Raimi just hired a guy off of YouTube. That could've been you. I'm not a hater. I'm Reality. Get at it.

    As for Marvel/DC copying each other...

    by chewtoy

    It goes both ways. DC may have gotten to define the archtypes first, but they borrowed liberally from Marvel in terms of humanizing and modernizing their characters. And on a tangent, I love the massive number of nods that the Dini/Timm DC animated universe makes towards Marvel as an acknowledgment to their applying Marvel characterization to DC characters. There are multiple instances of them composing shots that directly mirror famous Marvel covers and panels. (This was especially evident in Batman Beyond, which was naturally a thinly veiled cross between Batman and Spider-man.)

    I'm a fan of firefly and dollhouse (hated buffy and angel) but whedon is not a great movie director, he's done one film and it was based of his TV show, serenity while good coasted along on its fan base as well as the fact that it could feel like a TV movie and that was ok. Why he was given avengers is beyond me, dumpy mc fart face is not a good director

    can't stand Whedon. But I like Glee and he didn't fuck that episode up too bad, pretty nervous about him directing Avengers though.
    Hopefully the script was good and he didn't have to drop too many Whedonisms on it, and if they do, the editor can cut them out if they are shit.
    I am happy Favreau is producing.

    Ultimate Hawkeye's revenge for his murdered family...

    by none_so_blind

    ..was one of the best things in Ultimates Volume 2.

    And that's saying something, since so much of Ultimates V2 was so awesome.

    And oh yes indeedy, Ultimate Hawkeye was fond of using guns. I still get chills thinking of that scene - Hawekeye escapes the torture session by stabbing and strangling his tormentors, then picks up a couple of assault rifles and walks up to the camera observing him (with a room full of dudes on the other end watching him), and says in a teeth-grinding rage-filled whisper, "Run."

    Johnson's not a great director either but at least he knows how to handle a big film, whedon will probabaly just cast nathon fillion and summer Glau in roles and have plenty of jokes to fill the gap between closely shot TV style action. I know marvel is trying to save money and do what they think will "please" fanboys, but they really should have hired a more established director for this one. But is uppose the marvel films are like the Bond films, they just hire someone to do what the producers say, the director isn't allowed to bring anything of his own to the films

    about Whedonisms

    by jackslater4

    The other day I watched Planet Hulk on blu-ray and it had an Astonishing X-Men motion comic on the special features, so I started to watch it.
    Shortly after my girlfriend came home and sat down next to me and she wasn't really paying attention to the comic (just Facebooking or Texting on her Droid or something) but Emma Frost was dressed like her whoring self and getting ready to make a speach, and Kitty Pryde showed up late and Emma said something like "Glad You Could Join us, did you get lost", and Kitty said something like "I guess I was just busy remembering to wear clothes."
    And I noticed that what barely registered as a joke to me, made my girlfriend who was hardly paying attention laugh out loud.
    So yeah, I'm worried.

    Most of marvels characters are all emo bitches that are more concerned about the "look at me" mentality then of actually being a hero, DC's characters can be said to be more like gods but thats what makes them interesting they have these abilities and they are made to be heroes.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, no need to get personal!

    by royston lodge

    The quality of the writing and the artistry from both companies has gone up and down over the years. I think it's a stretch to say either company has been CONSISTENTLY superior in the artwork department over the decades.
    A lot of early-80s Batman is just as silly and pulpy as the 60s TV show. Batman didn't start to get REALLY good until much later.
    If my memory is correct, Marvel started using better inks and better paper before DC did. When DC did start improving the quality of production, they only did it with SOME titles (the famous "Prestige Format").
    Marvel's had more than its fair share of superstar artists and writers. Frank Miller on Daredevil. Todd McFarlane on Spiderman. Etc.
    Similarly, both companies have had books that look like shit with writing from a Choose Your Own Adventure book. (Some of the Wally West-era Flash stories makes me want to poke my eyes out.)
    And they've both had terrible "Epic Crossover Events" that have fucked both universes up and turned hordes of fans away from comics entirely. (I bet most fanboys who stop reading comics quit because of some crossover Event or another and just got fed up.)
    Quality goes up and down for both companies. I've been a "Marvel Guy" some years and a "DC Guy" other years. The quality depends on way too many variables for me to commit to one or the other.

    It all comes down to context.

    by royston lodge

    Both companies have their "god" characters. Silver Surfer could wink Superman out of existence and then eliminate the entire Skrull armada for an encore, all before breakfast.
    The difference is that Supes is based in a city and Silver Surfer is based in outer space.
    It's all context. I really like reading standalone Superman stories, but couldn't get into following the series on a regular basis. Batman, on the other hand, I was addicted to month-in-and-month-out. On the Marvel side, Captain America always bored me, I never really got into Spiderman, but I loved the West Coast Avengers, Iron Man, and Silver Surfer.
    Each title and character appeals to different people for different reasons. If you put up any criteria for why one character "rules", I bet you I can cite another character that meets the exact same criteria, yet is a "sucky" character. And vice-versa.

    by pitchperfect

    He's been pretty good in the movies I've seen him in, but he just doesn't stand out as Clint Barton /Hawkeye to me. They've aways drawn that character with sculpted facial features, but Mr. Renner has a weak chin thing going on and a fat potato nose. If they give him a mask he's going to look like the male equivelant of Butterface.

    Balancing this one will be a challenge

    by majereuk

    That's a pretty big lineup of heroes, especially with them working both War Machine and Iron Man in there. It's going to be very interesting to see how they balance the screen time, especially if Thor should bomb. And it's going to be particularly interesting to see if they go with a bow-armed 'classic' Hawkeye or the Ultimates version. I'm thinking the bow will be a tough sell, but perhaps a few very impressive trick arrows will be cooked up to make it work.
    Either way, this one is going to be a big something. But whether that's big success, or big flop, remains very much to be seen.

    The problem with Iron Man 2 was that

    by dingbatty

    they crammed Tony healing himself, Demon in a Bottle, Armor Wars, War Machine, and the formation of The Avengers all in one short movie. That's why this stuff works better stretched out. Though I enjoyed it, as it's as good as we are going to get. No real visionaries making superhero movies. Justin Theroux really worked hard on the script; he worked in a lot of themes in there. The problem is, the high concept theme detracts from the serialized nature of Marvel.

    Demon In a Bottle in IM2

    by horgy

    They barely touched upon Tony's drunkenness in Iron Man 2. He got truly drunk only once in the movie, and it was at his "last" birthday party, after Scarlett told him "I'd do whatever I wanted with whoever I wanted." (which should have involved anal with Scarlett.) There's plenty of Iron Man sequels to have a true "Demon in a bottle" storyline. I'd honestly love to see Tony in The Suit for about 5 minutes of Iron Man 3, and have the rest of it as a film dealing with the troubles his alcoholism caused, and have a film like TDK, where "being a superhero" is secondary to a good dramatic film.

    Of course, that would wreck my campaign for Fin Fang Foom in IM3.

    We've got Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Nick Fury, and possibly War Machine and Black Widow. Do we fucking need ANOTHER superhero in this crowded 2 hour movie? Not just any comic superhero, but one of the lesser known ones.

    Now, if Tobey McGuire reprized Spiderman for an Avengers movie, then I'd understand, but this move is just a lame excuse get another Hollywood star into the Avengers movie IMHO. Are they anticipating that the movie will suck so bad that they have to add Jeremy Renner to the cast?

    I'd love if at least part of the film was them capturing the Hulk. That would be a great match-up, and in a way, it would be a rematch. Tim Roth used a variant of the super soldier syrum in "The Incredible Hulk". Now Hulk can go against the real McCoy. :-)

    As the Iron Man films have shown, you don't need a lot of Superhero stuff. The whole last 1/3 doesn't have to be mind-numbing noise. You've got great actors cast. The more you let them act, the better the film will be.

    by blood_bubbles_in_bathwater

    ... with the exception of Chris Evans as Cap (Aaron Eckhart would add much more depth to such a whitebread, seemingly 2-dimensional character). Renner can do Hawkeye's smartass cockiness with his hands tied behind his back. The way to do this is make Hawkeye a SHIELD agent from inception, just like Black Widow. Make the two of them sleek, black leather background characters that answer to Fury, and you're golden.

    Eckhart is too old. Cap was a kid when he got shot up with the SSS and tanned with the vita-rays. Evans has the chops and the physicality to nail the role and I expect he will do as well as RDJ does as Stark. The guy you should be concerned about is the one playing Thor--that is arguably the most challenging role to pull off and I know jack squat about that actor.

    It really gets to me how at this late date everybody and their brother still makes these absolute declarations and presumptions about what comic book elements simply won't "play" on film to the "mainstream" audience. One "silly costume" success after another, after another including a movie about a billionaire vigilante who dresses in a holloween costume and fights an evil clown gaining "wider audience" appeal to the tune of about a half a billion dollars. So it seems pretty obvious to me that the geek audience IS NOW the MAINSTREAM AUDIENCE. Not sayin everything that works on the page can work on screen, but even the worst of these comic book films (cough, Wolverine, cough,cough) seams to have no trouble gaining mass appeal. So maybe its time to ease up on the "web shooters" certainty about what won't play.

    You guys think the average Joe off the street (ie: 99% of the business for this movie) is going to care or even *know* that Hawkeye is a Green Arrow ripoff?

    That's some fancy footwork slick, but I don't know if using Nolan's Batman franchise as an example of why superhero films *shouldn't* worry about realism is the best approach.

    Maybe Hawkeye starts out as a villain/ hired merc?

    by drawkward

    Then SHIELD recruits him. As the new XXX. Oh, wait, wrong Sam Jackson secret national security team movie. But this one will be better than both XXX's and Snakes on a Plane combined.
    Also, I think Tony Stark will start as just a consultant, maybe even SecDef, and than build and command the Hulk Buster suit to slow down Hulk long enough for Hawkeye to shoot him with a love arrow. A dazed Hulk thinks Thor is a stubbly, sinewy she-beast, and immediately becomes smitten. Thor luckily remembered to wear his "ass-guard" armor, narrowly escaping rectal ragnarok.

    Arrows can still work if it's not over-done. He'll have to supplement his archery with marksmanship to make his character more believable.

    by cgih8r

    I'm sure he's going to be a fan fave in the film. Of course they won't put him in a dumb costume. He'll just be the sleeveless badass side character who fights with an actual weapon rather than with a shield, or a hammer.

    D'you think they should lay off superhero movies for a while?

    by mr gorilla

    There's been a pretty good decade, just about, that started with Bryan Singer's X-Men and ended with Watchmen. There's been some brilliant films in the middle - I'd particularly choose X2, Spider-Man 2, Dark Knight. & I'd also nominate The Incredibles and Unbreakable. But right now, Marvel seems to be drifting downhill (was The Incredible Hulk any better than Hulk? Was Iron Man 2 any better than Iron Man?). And I'd just love them to stop and take a breath. Do what EON did after Tomorrow Never Dies - which made a pile of money but was not a good movie. Stop, guys. Just stop, take a breath, then start anew.

    Josh Holloway a better Doc Savage

    by parissun

    Gambit is just too easy. The X-Men need to be younger anyway for future movies, so the guy in Woverine was okay. Doc Savage would be just right for Holloway. He would only need to bulk up a bit. The other option is the make him Kraven in the next SM movie.
