Let's face it, Hawkeye wasn't exactly an important character in the first Avengers film. With everything going on and all the big movie heavy weights, it was always going to be difficult for a superhero with a bow and arrow to make any impact compared to an iron suit and a big green giant.

Renner didn't seem to be very happy about the role either. According to an interview the actor gave with Total Film, he felt: "For 90% of the movie, I'm not the character I signed on to play," says Renner. "It's kind of a vacancy. [He's] not even a bad guy, because there's not really a consciousness to him."

The actor continued: “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.”

Well, now it seems that he will no longer have to worry about the above as rumour has it another actor may be cast for the next film. With Whedon's series S.H.I.E.L.D. there is a possibility that a less-known actor may move from the small screen to the big screen.

There is also quite the debate around the cast returning in general for the sequel. Apparently, they are discussing raises in their pay cheques.
