According to the latest set of not entirely credible rumours due to the lack of a verifiable source, this time coming from Comic Book Movies, Marvel Phase 2 may be moving ahead without Jeremy Renner, who infamously described his reduced zombie-puppet role in Joss Whedon’s Avengers Assemble as “not the role I signed on for” and lacking “emotional content”.
The site’s source suggests the character could be recast for Avengers Assemble 2, and perhaps even appear as a main character in Whedon’s Agents Of SHIELD TV show.
As usual, this is a rumour, so stay wary, folks. It could be true, but it could not be – let’s not get overexcited.
You can buy Avengers Assemble on DVD for £10.99 or on Blu-ray for £14.99 from Amazon.co.uk.
