According to SuperHeroHype.com, who interviewed the Hurt Locker star at the Independent Film Gotham Awards, Renner is in talks to portray the bow and arrow-wielding hero with Marvel Studios.
"I talked to them three weeks ago. I love the idea that Hawkeye is not a superhero, he's just a man with a high skill-set, so I can relate to that," he said.
The actor also revealed what the character may look like in the film, compared to the comic books.
"It's going to be modernised. It's not going to be a guy in a big purple mask. It's not going to be a guy in tights. It's going to be a guy in sunglasses and a vest. A cooler-looking version and not the big, weird costume he had on."
The Avengers is scheduled to be released in the US and UK on May 4, 2012.
