And the casting call/rumor mill continues to spin.
Now, this rumor from ObsessedWithFilm isn’t definite by any means, but too good to not talk about as everyone’s favorite avenging archer, Hawkeye, may have found his on screen equivalent in Jeremy Renner. It’s a shame I haven’t gotten to see The Hurt Locker yet, especially after all the rave reviews, but trust me it’s on my list now more than ever after this tidbit. I did manage to catch him in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and it’s easy to see Clint Barton in his role.
Marvel is really stepping up their game (I think <i>Thor</i> is headed towards “instant classic” status already) and it’s just a good time to be an Avenger’s fan nowadays with all these announcements popping up.
Readers, what do you think of this? Do you think Renner is fit to fire the bow, or do you have somebody else in your sights?

I didn’t really see much of Hawkeye in his portrayal of Wood Hite, but nonetheless, he gave a quality performance.

If you’d seen Hurt Locker, that question mark in the headline would be an exclamation point.

I thought Hurt Locker was a little overrated, but Renner is pretty excellent in it. He’d be a great choice as Hawkeye.
