Another rumour based on a brief statement from somone “in the know” says that Jeremy Renner does make an appearance in Thor as a cameo to his role as Clint Barton – the Avenger known as Hawkeye.
Apparently someone who saw an early cut of the film confirmed that Renner shows up in the role, but, and frustratingly so, that’s all that was revealed.
The main reason to put consideration into this rumor is the fact that the actor himself speculated he would be showing up in it, as when he talked to Empire he said that:
“If I was a betting man, I would bet that Hawkeye would probably show up in Thor, and then be in The Avengers. But do I know for sure? I can’t say. But I’d love for that to happen. It’d be fun”.
Marvel has hardly been shy about crossing over characters and giving cameos (even brief ones) to actors set to be in future films.
And hearing that Renner would be up for a day or two of work to have his character skitter across the screen or be standing in the background just to add some tease for the fans, I wouldn’t doubt that during the filming of Thor they decided to make that happen.
We already know Renner is going to be Hawkeye, and I am eager to see how he is portrayed in the role (please no purple leather) but we will see him soon enough. Would be a great fanservice if it was in Thor, but we will see it when we see it.
You’d think Cp’n America in a cameo at the end and Hawkeye in a cameo at the end of Cpn’ America. But I’d be fine with it if Agent Coulson had some brief assist from “Agent Barton” while in NM.
It is easy to cram Hawkeye in there either as a bank robber or a shield agent. He is an awesome character and I am pumped to see Renner own clint barton.
I’d like to see how they’d handle the cameo and what if any uniform he’d be wearing. My bet is he’ll probably be wearing a black suit like other current shield agents are wearing.The costume won’t be set until the Avengers. Just a guess though.
