I’m usually able to come up with some kind of smarty-pants way of starting these things, but today I’m shooting blanks. So I figure I’ll just let you know that it has been confirmed that some guy named Mark Ruffalo has been signed to play Bruce Banner and another guy named Jeremy Renner is set to play Hawkeye in THE AVENGERS. We all know about Banner/The Hulk, but if you didn’t know, Hawkeye is the joker of the group who shoots arrows at people.
I have no idea who the Ruffalo guy is, but I just saw Jeremy Renner in THE HURT LOCKER. The movie seemed like a pretty by-the-books war drama, but he was good in it. I’m pretty sure he can play Hawkeye with all the nuance and depth that it demands.
