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:

You know how there’s a Secret Invasion: Requiem issue being solicited with no hint as to who’s being mourned? And you know how it looks like Wasp’s going kablooey in the last issue of Secret Invasion? Well…last week on MySpace Comics, Joe Quesada printed the first page of Dan Slott’s first script for Mighty Avengers [Read More...]
You know, Hank Pym’s a bit of a douche. Look at the evidence. He falls in love with a pretty young socialite (apparently when she’s very young) who just happens to look like his dead/ex/spy/monster wife. When her father’s murdered and young Janet Van Dyne decides to join the ant-powered Pym on his scientific adventures, [Read More...]
Nothing says love like this crazy self-experimenting, science-obsessing, amnesiac-marrying, personality-disordered, wife-slapping, psychotic-robot-creating, suicide-baiting, rebound-shagging, kinky-shrinking-sex-having pair! We love ya, Hank and Jan!
