Hawkeye 'Has the Best Gig': Jeremy Renner (The New Paper -- Singapore)

Jeremy Renner on loving how Hawkeye has a family, no superpowers.

It is not every day you become a target of Hawkeye himself.

During our roundtable interview with Jeremy Renner at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, I accidentally interrupted a question from another journalist.

"Tsk, tsk... you need to wait for your turn," he chided me.

The 48-year-old US actor then winked at me, held my arm and mouthed "I'm sorry".

And that was how the "I got shot by Hawkeye" bragging rights came about.

The mood in the room was light, with Renner contributing lots of teasing and laughter - the opposite of the dark, brooding feeling from the Avengers: Endgame trailer, especially the scenes of Renner's master archer Clint Barton/Hawkeye.

Sporting a mohawk and menacing tattoos, Hawkeye's transformation point to a new character called Ronin. According to the comics, Barton takes on that samurai identity for a short period.

"What new identity? What sword? I am still using the bow and arrow," Renner said, attempting to squash the fan theories.
