The absence of Jeremy Renner from the Avengers: Infinity War ensemble was all the more telling, because it seemed like everyone else on planet Earth was in the movie.
However, there’s a future for the character of Hawkeye in the Marvel cinematic universe, and one or two new bits and bobs have come to light.
Firstly, the confirmation that Renner will be in Avengers 4. Chatting to USA Today, he added of the next film that “everybody’s got to bite their tongue. But if you like Infinity War, there’s some stuff to come. What I do know is it’s going to be awesome”. He also revealed that the directors of the movies, the Russo brothers, had received death threats for leaving Hawkeye out of Avengers: Infinity War. So that’s cheery.
Intriguingly, a rumour also sprung up earlier in the week that there’s a possibility again of a standalone Hawkeye movie. This is a rumour that’s ebbed and flowed over the years, and so requisite salt is probably required. But according to MCU Cosmic, a Hawkeye movie is being considered, albeit it’ll be some way in the future. You can read its report here.
Renner is next to be seen in the comedy Tag, that’s heading to cinemas later this month.
