Jeremy Renner is set to debut his Hawkeye character albeit in a limited capacity in the upcoming movie Thor. Renner joined his acting cohorts at last years Comic-Con to promote their characters teaming up in The Avengers movie which Joss Whedon is still rewriting and will start shooting later this April in New Mexico.
The characters are all set to make cross-overs at some point in later films, the first of which occurred in Iron Man 2 with references to Captains America’s shield and Thor’s Hammer in the end credit scenes.
Iron Man 3 is reportedly set to feature more of these Marvel characters and it was reportedly this shift in story direction why director Jon Favreau chose to leave the franchise.
As for the appearance of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye in Thor, speculation was swirling since late 2009 which the actor hinted at to Empire despite The Avengers still some years off.
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.
Now an insider who’s seen an early cut of Thor has confirmed that Renner’s Hawkeye does appear in the flick, however that was the limit of the leak and the person declined to elaborate on the context of the character’s appearance or when it occurs, though bets are that it’s likely an end credits scene.
Some more leaked details of the movie have also surfaced from someone who works in the audience testing department and has seen the early cut, you can check them out below ( spoilers beware ).
Thor is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba & Colm Feore.
It arrives in cinemas May 6, 2011, The Avengers is scheduled for May 4, 2012.

Here’s the leaked Spoilers – featured over at ComicBookMovie.com
-
In a cameo, Stan Lee plays a truck driver who tries to pull the Hammer out of the ground (in the crater scene shown at the end of Iron Man 2) by chaining it to the back of his truck. He fails in the attempt.
-
Movie starts with Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings and Stellan Skarsgård in a van out in the New Mexico desert observing a phenomenon in the sky. This is when Thor drops to Earth… Natalie Portman accidentally hits him with her van (which she does again later in the film)
-
We cut to a flashback of Thor back on Asgard. He’s about to be anointed king by his dad (Anthony Hopkins) when two frost people or whatever they’re called infiltrate the palace and try to steal a “casket” which Thor’s dad got during a battle with the frost people on their planet.
-
Thor tries to convince his dad to wage war against the frost people after they broke the truce with Asgard. Thor’s dad refuses; Thor, Loki and 3 other soldiers (Jaime Alexander and two dudes) end up going to the frost planet alone
-
Thor’s dad comes to the rescue just as the Frost people are about to kill Thor and his warriors (despite Thor kicking *** for much of the scene)
-
Inside his detention cell; Thor is visited by Loki…who tells him that his father has died
-
Thor confronts the Destroyer, and apologizes to Loki (via a conduit with the Destroyer) about what caused him to be resentful of Thor after becoming king of Asgard.
-
It was actually Loki who helped the frost people infiltrate the Asgard palace; Loki made a deal with the frost king in that Loki would help the frost king kill Thor’s father in exchange for Loki assuming complete control of Asgard (this was a LIE)
-
Thor destroys the Destroyer by a blow to the head by his Hammer
-
Thor shares a kiss with Natalie Portman before going back to Asgard to confront Loki–who kills the frost king just as he is about to kill Thor’s father (Loki essentially did everything as a way to earn Odin’s respect)
-
Out on the rainbow bridge, Thor defeats Loki. He and Loki are hanging along the edge of the bridge and are about to be sucked into a wormhole when Odin (who regained consciousness when Thor returned to Asgard) comes to their rescue.
-
Loki tells Odin that he “did this all for him” (killing the frost king and about to destroy his planet)…but Odin replies that he didn’t want peace “like this.” Loki realizes he failed his father once again and lets go of the bridge…falling into the wormhole
-
Loki is relatable evil. Everything he does is to earn the respect of Odin and even Thor. But he becomes corrupt when he finds out he was actually the son of the Frost king, and becomes King of Asgard after Odin falls into a coma
-
Back in the Asgard palace, all is well. But we see Thor on what remains of the Rainbow bridge…asking the Gatekeeper (Idris Elba) what Natalie Portman is doing back on Earth.
-
Thor had to destroy the rainbow bridge (with his Hammer), which was his only way to get to Earth, because Loki threaten to go to Earth and kill Natalie Portman
-
The Gatekeeper replies with “She is searching for you.” Final shot of the film is of Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings and Stellan Skarsgård inside a room working on their science equipment.
