Which Avenger Could Get Replaced?

Which Avenger Could Get Replaced?

May 16, 2013 By Mike Hickerson 3 Comments

The Avengers 2 could be missing one of the lead character from the first installment — and no, we don’t mean Iron Man.

While it’s unsure yet how Robert Downey, Jr. will return for the sequel, there’s another thespian who could be out of the film.  But this one could be recast.

Total Film has a story that Marvel studio executives are unhappy with comments made by actor Jeremy Renner about his role as Hawkeye in the film installment.

“For 90 percent of the movie, I’m not the character I signed on to play,” Renner said to Total Film. “It’s kind of a vacancy. [He’s] not even a bad guy, because there’s not really a consciousness to him. To take away who that character is and just have him be this robot, essentially, and have him be this minion for evil that Loki uses … I was limited, you know what I mean? I was a terminator in a way. Fun stunts. But is there any sort of emotional content or thought process? No.”

Daily Superhero cites sources in Hollywood as saying Renner is out of the upcoming second film and that if Hawkeye is needed, the role will be recast.

There’s no official word yet, but we’ll let you know if we hear anything official on this one.

    Aren’t they over-reacting to that comment if said reaction is true? No one with half a brain can say that Jeremy Renner is wrong or that he was really lashing out anyone. However, he does have the chance to make up for it in the sequel, that is if someone doesn’t spill some milk and make a mountain of a mole hill.

    Yeah, I think someone accidentally poured sour milk on their Cheerios while reading the trades that morning. There’s no way Renner’s comments are worthy of getting him replaced. It’s not like he was leaking spoilers during production of the movie about it.

    It does sound like he’s lobbying for a role with a better emotional hook to it for Avengers 2, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
