7. It Could Continue To Let Hawkeye Wither On The Vine
Hawkeye gets such a raw deal in the Avengers saga. He never gets much of a look in at any of the big arcs, he doesn't get all the residual darkness from his origin story to work with like the other members of the gang do, and they've stopped bothering to make his wicked cool archery skills look like anything more interesting than putting up shelves. He even looks a bit bored. Thing is, if we get through
another Avengers flick without Hawkeye having anything substantial to do, it's going to be far too late to whip up enough interest in him as a character and his backstory generally to make a solo Hawkeye film. In fact, it's already a bit too late to be doing an origins film, seeing as Renner would probably be knocking on 50 years of age by the time it actually arrived. It says a lot that someone made a massive chocolate sculpture of the Avengers stood in the rubble of an unnamed city at Disney's food and wine festival at Epcot this year, and neglected to include a caramel-centred Clint Barton in the diorama. Seriously, this is getting out of hand. He can ping a foe with an arrow from about three miles away. He deserves to at least get a bit of action meatier than getting mildly shot and hanging out with his wife and kids.
