The Marvel star was famously unhappy with his role in the first Avengers film.
Being cast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be a dream come true for a lot of actors. In addition to the obvious financial benefits, the mega-franchise allows its performers to develop their characters over multiple years and projects. But throughout the MCU’s history there have been a few actors who were less happy with how their roles turned out, including one of the main stars of the Avengers movies who was so disappointed that, for a time, he wanted his character to be killed off.
Hawkeye's 'Avengers' Role Denied Him a Personality At the beginning of The Avengers, Clint was in charge of security at the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility where the alien artifact known as the Tesseract was being studied. When Thor’s brother Loki attacked the facility and stole the Tesseract, he used his mystical scepter to take control of Clint, Erik Selvig , and several other agents’ minds.
Although The Avengers received highly positive reviews and was one of the most commercially successful films ever, Clint’s role was one aspect of it that was criticized. Fans were disappointed that the brainwashing prevented the character from being the nuanced figure he is in the comics, in which he plays key roles in many of the most popular Avengers storylines.
Age of Ultron contained some self-aware acknowledgments of how its predecessor mishandled the character. Earlier in the film, Clint noticed Wanda sneaking up on him in time to stop her from using her telepathic powers on him. He stuck an electrically charged arrow to her head, stunning her, before saying that, “I’ve done the whole mind control thing. Not a fan,” a line that Renner likely relished.
Renner’s later Marvel projects have continued to make good use of the character, culminating in him headlining the Hawkeye Disney+ series alongside Hailee Steinfeld. After the release of Captain America: Civil War, in which Clint played a small but impactful role, Independent described Renner as being much happier with the part. Renner stated, “I don’t really want him to die now. I really got to explore him more and there’s some cool ideas coming up.
