Jeremy Renner Talks The Evolution Of The MCU [Avengers 2 Set Interview]
By Peter Sciretta/March 3, 2015 7:30 am EST
In June 2014, I visited the London set of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Previously we posted our on set interviews with Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr, director Joss Whedon, and Chris Hemsworth. Today we’ve been given the green light to publish our interview with two more Avengers. This post contains our interview with Hawkeye, Jeremy Renner. Here is a short snippet from Renner explaining how the action has evolved in this Avengers sequel:
There’s new tech and new costumes, there’s always new abilities, and new sort of things. For instance, if Hawkeye is a distance guy, what happens when it’s close quarters? We did a little of that in the first Avengers with having to use arrows in hands and having to do different things like that, be nimble and flying between people’s legs. You have to be clever with things, clever fighting to me is what I like to explore a little bit more with that as well. And then using each other, like if it was Cap, Widow, and I in a scene how we can use each other’s abilities as teamwork? He can toss me somewhere higher. That’s where these new characters are great, with Scarlet Witch you’ll find that her abilities are just being tapped into in this movie and what they can become, she’s still learning what they are, which is really cool. That to me as a nerdy, geeky dude about this world, that’s what I’m excited to kind of see what happens in the future because that can be quite fun.

Jeremy Renner Avengers 2 Interview
So, it’s been a lot of fun I always feel good because I know him so well, I know when he likes a take and he likes something and it’s always been like one and a half takes and like, “OK we’re done we got it.” When I get him smiling or laughing and he feels good, that’s a good feeling. I like making him happy because I trust him. Even though I don’t know what I’m doing half the time, I’m like, “Really? OK, alright I’ll do it.” And I’ll fight back on a few things, “I don’t know how to shoot a bow and arrow, you tell me what to do.” But he’s great we’ve had a lot of fun, and he’s the mastermind behind all this stuff, and these Avengers movies they’re impossible to write, impossible, but he does it and pulls it off.
