The script for Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron is officially finished and in the hands of the actors. Many are wondering what changes are in store for the team, including Jeremy Renner. The actor wasn’t too happy with his role in the first movie. Meanwhile, there are rumors that the new film could lead into a solo Hulk film.
Joss Whedon recently spoke with Screen Rant about his plans to expanded on the Avengers, especially Hawkeye, who was given the short end of the arrow in the first film:
“It’s very much a global Avengers film. A lot of the movie has to do with their place not just in America, but the world. Part of the fun for me, definitely this time around, is writing Hawkeye. He did get possessed pretty early by a bad guy and had to walk around all scowly for most of the movie so now it’s nice to actually have the character there and see him interact with the other guys.”
Jeremy Renner wasn’t too happy with his role in the first Avengers telling the LA Times:
"I prefer [playing the good version of the character], because if we go to the evil part, or hypnotized or whatever the heck you want to call it, it’s kind of a vacancy. Not even a bad guy, because there’s not really a consciousness to him. The interesting part was being guilty about the bad things I did do when I was hypnotized. I think he’s already an interesting enough character. To really kind of take away who that character is and just have him be this sort of robot, essentially, and have him be this minion for evil that Loki uses. Again, I could just focus on the task. I was limited, you know what I mean? I was a terminator in a way. So yeah, fun stunts. But is there any sort of emotional content or thought process? No. That doesn’t exist in that time [that he's hypnotized]. It happens to be for most of the movie."
Meanwhile, it appears that there may be another superhero film in the wings. Lou Frino told Flicks and the City about plans to make another Hulk film:
"The reason is because the Hulk, in the last Avengers, he saved the day and was the star of the movie so Disney agreed a Hulk movie, so I think it will be done after the Avengers, the second on.”
