Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye Reportedly Appearing in 'Captain America 3: Civil War'

The Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1, but fans already have an eye on the third Captain America film entitled Captain America: Civil War. We know Robert Downey Jr. will appear as Iron Man in the movie, and now it seems that Jeremy Renner will show up as Hawkeye.

The Hollywood Reporter notes that Renner will "shoot Captain America: Civil War this spring" before he moves onto some other projects. This would almost assuredly indicate that Hawkeye survives Age of Ultron, contrary to some rumors that he would perish during the film.

In case you missed it, Chris Evans and Renner have dropped some new details about Age of Ultron in a recent interview.

First, Evans talks about how the Avengers truly feel like a team this time. "In this movie, it’s not about having stand-out moments, it’s about trying to have stand-together moments," he told Yahoo! Movies. "You want to have scenes where you’re like ‘Man, the Avengers just kicked ass!’ If it’s every man for himself then it defeats the purpose of what this movie is. We have individual films for that. So I like the scenes where – as a unit – we’re all wrecking shop. And we get a bunch of those in this."

Renner, too, discussed the feel of the film. "[After seeing] the script, ultimately, I feel like it’s bigger," he said. "There’s a lot more action, a lot of new characters, and that makes it more complicated, but also there’s more intimacy in this one unlike the last one. There’s a lot more of us together, which I think is really interesting. I think this is an impossible script to write, from the first one to now. There a lot of people and stories to try to tell and he does a really good job with it, and he keeps it very real. There’s such a humor to it and that’s all throughout this as well."

The article reveals that Tony Stark is financing the Avengers in the sequel, but he may not necessarily be the leader. "I think [Captain America] feels very comfortable in a sort of leadership role, but I don’t think he gives orders," Evans said. "He does structure, organization. He’s a military guy. Tony [Stark] is definitely paying the bills, and since there really is no company to report to, we’re kind of this independent unit that needs to rely on each other and work as a team, even in their day-to-day lives."
