A Hawkeye peeking into Thor?

For weeks we’ve been reporting all sorts of news on who’s going to be in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. From Anthony Hopkins to Idris Elba, it seems like every other person is hopping on board. What if we said that not only are people from Thor’s circle of friends taing part in this film but possibly a nice appearance from a certain bow-and-arrow wielding costumed hero? The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner could possibly become Hawkeye briefly in this film. Here’s more from Coming Soon :

In the latest Empire Magazine, actor Jeremy Renner was asked something during an interview to which his reply seemed to indicate that Marvel Studios is looking for an actor to appear, albeit briefly, as Hawkeye in Branagh’s movie as a teaser for when all the Marvel heroes band together, similar to Samuel L. Jackson’s cameo at the end of Iron Man. 

“Hawkeye could be interesting,” he told them. “They’re going to send me some stuff on it, see what it is, but I think they’re pretty awesome, trying to make superhero movies almost plausible and not just some fantasy thing.”

What do you think about this news? Do you believe that they should continue adding onto Thor like this with the addition briefly of Hawkeye? Is Renner a nice choice for the man in purple?
