A Hawkeye Netflix Series? Jeremy Renner Would Be On Board

This weekend marked the first ever Silicon Valley Comic Con and Avengers star Jeremy Renner a.k.a. Hawkeye was on hand to answer some questions during a Q & A event. Renner was asked if he would be interested in making the transition from the big screen to the Marvel television Universe and giving Hawkeye his own Netflix show. Renner went on to explain that while it would be a terrific way to let audiences into the life of Hawkeye, sadly, it is not his decision to make.

“I think that’s actually a really great model, if there’s ever a way to explore the character, maybe it’s in that world. These are things that are really not in my control, but I’d be open to it. I’ve really enjoyed getting to explore the character more recently. The Netflix model is where all the character drama goes to now, you’re doing a superhero movie or a Netflix or HBO kind of model. So I’d be open to it. Not up to me, though.”

Netflix has opened the doors for audiences to learn more about non-mainstream characters such as Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil and the soon to be Iron Fist. While we hope to see these characters from the Netflix series show up in the MCU, Hawkeye would be the first major character to make an appearance in the Netflix universe.

Renner was asked later on in the event if he would be open to a Black Widow and Hawkeye movie in which he responded “in a second. I’d love to do that.”  Unfortunately, this decision is also not in Renner’s hands.

Hopefully we will get to see more of Clint Barton and find out what actually happened in Budapest.
