Jeremy Renner taking aim at Hawkeye?

Ain’t it Cool is reporting that The Hurt Locker‘s Jeremy Renner may be signing on to the Avengers movie as Hawkeye.

Not a bad bit of casting; this rumor surfaced months ago but was debunked. However, AICN seems to think that that rumor was regarding negotiations, while this rumor is about actually signing up.

Sadly, I suspect that Hawkeye is less likely to be wearing his traditional purple togs, and more likely to be wearing something along these lines instead:

In other casting news, last week Bleeding Cool ran a story about Nathan Fillion being a lock for Hank Pym – which would be nice, but if I want any Whedon alum playing the Avenger’s batshit crazy scientist I’d rather it be Alan Tudyk.

But then, it is Bleeding Cool…
