‘Avengers Age Of Ultron’ Cast: Jeremy Renner Says He Belongs In The Avengers! Hawkeye Actor Claims He Can Get ‘Kill The Messenger’ Off The Ground!

Jeremy Renner is already a legit Hollywood A-lister even before he was chosen as Hawkeye in The Avengers. It would be safe to say that his status also helped him land the role. However, being part of the top super hero franchise of the moment has its perks.

Renner is already the lead star of the "Bourne" franchise after Matt Damon moved on and he is also part of Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible" team. He also has two Academy award nominations and he was the lead actor in Best Picture winner "The Hurt Locker." Thus, it is inaccurate to say that he's the odd one out in the Avengers.

The 43-year old actor plays a different kind of hero in "Kill The Messenger"-he's real and unsung.

Hit Fix has the actor's description: "I knew there was going to be a lot of headwind because it's going to be difficult to sell, because I don't have a cape on. But I believed in it and I loved the character. I loved what he was trying to stay and what he did say."

The lead actor does admit that his Hawkeye role makes him recognizable. "He says 'without a doubt' that notoriety has allowed him to help get smaller films like 'Kill the Messenger' off the ground. While he appreciates that benefit, he doesn't want anyone to think it's the only reason he became a superhero or a member of the 'Mission: Impossible' team with Tom Cruise."

As a parting shot, Renner states his claim as an actor: "I'm passionate about everything I do or otherwise I'm not going to go do it. There is no amount of money that's going to make me go do something. I have to feel desire to do something. I always desired to hang out with Cruise and do 'M:I-5' and do stunts and stuff like that and work with Alec Baldwin. Whether it's a big or small movie, it excites me."
