Jeremy Renner originally sought to play the role of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but was steered towards playing Hawkeye instead. When it came time for the final rewrites on The Avengers, screenwriters Joss Whedon and Zak Penn altered the perceived role quite a bit, creating a fairly unsatisfying experience for Renner. Renner's disappointment with the film spawned a bevy of internet rumors as whether or not he would return to the role for the film's sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. Some film web sites reported speculation that Renner was out of the franchise and that the role of Hawkeye might be re-cast. [1][2]
Renner was quoted as saying:
"For 90 percent of the movie, I'm not the character I signed on to play," Renner said to Total Film. "It's kind of a vacancy. [He's] not even a bad guy, because there's not really a consciousness to him. To take away who that character is and just have him be this robot, essentially, and have him be this minion for evil that Loki uses ... I was limited, you know what I mean? I was a terminator in a way. Fun stunts. But is there any sort of emotional content or thought process? No."
