H - Hawkeye - A to Z Challenge [2014]


Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye: A master archer working as an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. Renner said it was a very physical role and that he trained physically and practiced archery as much as possible in preparation. About the role, Renner said, "When I saw Iron Man, I thought that was a really kick-ass approach to superheroes. Then they told me about this Hawkeye character, and I liked how he wasn't really a superhero; he's just a guy with a high skill set. I could connect to that."
 

Regarding Hawkeye's sniper mentality, Renner said, "It's a lonely game. He's an outcast. His only connection is to Scarlett's character, Natasha. It's like a left hand/right hand thing. They coexist, and you need them both, especially when it comes to a physical mission." Renner said Hawkeye is not insecure about his humanity. "Quite the opposite, he's the only one who can really take down the Hulk with his [tranquilizer-tipped] arrows. He knows his limitations. But when it comes down to it, there has to be a sense of confidence in any superhero."

  1. Hawkeye was one of my favorite characters in the movie because he didn't have superpowers. Very cool persona.

  2. I like that all those super persons have an ordinary human keep up with them :) and it helps that the actor is easy on the eye.

  3. I think that's the only way there could ever be a Hawkeye movie - Black Widow would have to be in it with him.

  4. I wasn't at all sure about Renner as Hawkeye when the casting was announced, but I think he nailed it.

  5. I'm loving your theme Jeremy! I'm glad in Avengers 2 he's getting a costume that's closer to his comic book one. http://screenrant.com/the-avengers-2-hawkeye-new-costume/

  6. It would be hard for a regular human to keep up with the Avengers, but Renner made you believe it. :-)

  9. Hawkeye is cool. He's not one of my favorite Avengers, but he still has mad skills for a human, lol.

  10. I think it's important to be able to connect with the characters in a story, even the super heroes. While we may never have their abilities, they still need to be real to us.

  13. I like Hawkeye but he and BW aren't big enough to have their own movies. I know, I've said it before, but they are great side characters.

    Did you catch the line in Big Bang about Hawkeye?
