Rex Features
Speaking to Empire, the actor revealed that he had held discussions about playing the Marvel Comics character, who is expected to appear in the upcoming films Thor and The Avengers.
"Hawkeye could be interesting," he said. "I'd love for that to happen. It'd be fun... I'm just happy to get considered for big franchise roles like that."
He continued: "[Marvel are] 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."
Hawkeye first appeared in a 1964 issue of Tales of Suspense. The character, real name Clint Barton, possesses no superpowers but is an accomplished archer.
