While everyone seemed quite happy with Marvel’s “The Avengers” movie, one person who wasn’t entirely satisfied was one of its stars – Jeremy Renner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Out doing promotion for “The Bourne Legacy”, the actor talked with The Los Angeles Times about his frustration with the limited aspects of his Hawkeye role.<\/p>\n

Easily the most underwritten of the main group of characters, Renner’s Hawkeye spent much of the film possessed and so had little to no time for character development.<\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, 90% of the movie, I\u2019m not the character I signed on to play. I\u2019m literally in there for two minutes, and then all of a sudden\u2026 All I could really work on was the physical part of it all, because that didn\u2019t change. That was just the biggest challenge to overcome in playing the guy. Also, we\u2019re pretty much introducing a new superhero character to everyone in a movie where there\u2019s a thousand superheroes.<\/p>\n

So there\u2019s not a lot of back story or understanding we can really tell about who Clint Barton is, or Hawkeye, and is he working for SHIELD or not. There\u2019s a lot of unanswered questions, even for me. And I was OK with that. At least I was still in the movie. And I was glad for that.<\/p>\n

The closest thing I could really link to was Scarlett [Johansson’s] character, Black Widow, because they have a history. And that definitely plays in the movie, I think. And obviously, you can\u2019t go into too much just because there\u2019s so much story to tell, but you definitely get a sense that they\u2019re connected, and that there\u2019s something really, really important that ties them together. And I could try to summarize it, but it can go a lot of places. That excites me, though, that there\u2019s room for other things.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Later on in the interview he adds:<\/p>\n

“I think he\u2019s already an interesting enough character. To really kind of take away who that character is and just have him be this sort of robot, essentially, and have him be this minion for evil that Loki uses. Again, I could just focus on the task. I was limited, you know what I mean? I was a terminator in a way. So yeah, fun stunts. But is there any sort of emotional content or thought process? No. That doesn\u2019t exist in that time [that he’s hypnotized]. It happens to be for most of the movie.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Asked about the possibility of a standalone “Hawkeye” movie, Renner says “I think there\u2019s always possibilities of anything in the Marvel universe. There\u2019s gotta be a want from people to see something like that. I don\u2019t know if there is. Maybe there is maybe there isn\u2019t.”<\/p>\n
