Jeremy Renner Says He's Interested in a Hawkeye Netflix Series

Until Avengers: Age of Ultron revealed that there was another layer to his character that we hadn't seen before, Hawkeye was one of the weakest links in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was barely in Thor, and spent the majority of the first Avengers as a brain-washed baddie. Jeremy Renner is set to reprise the role once again in this year's Captain America: Civil War, but if he had his way, he'd be able to dive deeper into Clint Barton's story on the small screen in a Netflix series. A fan at Silicon Valley Comic Con (via ComicBook.com) asked Renner if he'd be interested in appearing in a solo show similar to Daredevil and Jessica Jones, and here's what he said:

"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."

Since Marvel Studios doesn't seem interested in a Black Widow solo film, maybe they'd be more apt to move Natasha and Clint over to the small screen in a spy show instead that could investigate more of their relationship? But considering the internal rift in the company that happened last year (wherein Kevin Feige took control of the film division from Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter, which left Perlmutter running the TV division separately), it might be a complicated transition for characters who are already well-established as movie characters first and foremost. Still, as the Spider-Man deal with Sony proved, just about anything is possible when it comes to Marvel Studios these days, so we'll have to see if a Hawkeye show is something the company is interested in or whether they have bigger plans for Barton on the big screen.

Would you watch a solo Hawkeye show? Maybe it could be a musical
