Captain America 3 is definitely happening, and Jeremy Renner has hinted that a Hawkeye spinoff may happen after all. Rumors are pointing to the possibility that Cap 3 may not feature Renner’s arrow-wielding hero, though Renner hasn’t discounted it yet.
Early talks about the third solo outing for Chris Evans ‘ character point to his return alongside Sebastian Stan’s James “Bucky” Barnes. The chances are unlikely that Hawkeye will get much more than a cameo if he appears at all. Having signed on for Mission: Impossible 5 , Renner could easily wear himself out filming two major action films simultaneously.
Jeremy Renner has told the press that he may be able to work an appearance into Cap 3 , if they ask him.
“Oh, that’s a [rumor] all right! I don’t know what’s going to happen. I know it’s going to start shooting in March. I haven’t had any official conversations about doing it or not.”
Renner expanded with another source, “I’m happy to be the ensemble . I’m not scratching or clawing to do a solo movie by any means. I think he’s a utility guy that can bounce around into other people’s universes a little bit, especially like [ Captain America 3 ].’”
If Renner only makes a minor appearance in the upcoming sequel, it won’t be the first time. He also had a similar appearance in the first Thor guarding Mjolnir at Agent Coulson’s (Clark Gregg) request.
Renner also indicated that a majority of the original cast will be returning for Avengers 3 , after which there could be some major changes to the team.
“I think most actors will sign on to do, like … Captain America 1-3 and then The Avengers 1-3 , and then you’re done. For me, I signed on to The Avengers 1-3 and then Hawk-Eye , in case they want to do a Hawkeye spin-off. It was fun to finally kind of discover who Clint Barton is a little bit.”
There could definitely be a Hawkeye spinoff if we can take what Jeremy Renner says as fact. Considering the rumored connection Hawkeye had with Black Widow in The Avengers , Scarlett Johansson could end up being one of the most popular crossover actors alongside Samuel L. Jackson.
If Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth return for Avengers 3 , this could discount the possibility of previous rumors about the death of Captain America or a female Thor until possibly the third Avengers .

These are mostly rumors based on what Jeremy Renner has told the press, but if they’re true, Captain America 3 remains quite the mystery.
What do you think will happen in the Marvel cinematic universe after Avengers: Age of Ultron ?
