The Hawkeye depicter says he is 'not scratching and clawing' for a Marvel solo film but would love to get involved in 'Captain America 3'.

AceShowbiz - Jeremy Renner weighs in on the future of his superhero character in Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although it seems logical that Hawkeye gets his own solo movie after appearing in "Thor", "The Avengers", and next in "Avengers: Age of Ultron", the actor is not pushing it.
"I'm happy to be the ensemble. I'm not scratching or clawing to do a solo movie by any means. I think he's a utility guy that can bounce around into other people's universes a little bit," the Oscar nominee said, before teasingly adding, "Especially 'Cap 3'. There's whispers of that."
The "Captain America 3" cameo was first hinted by Renner in August. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo haven't confirmed or denied it, but they did admit that Hawkeye was supposed to appear in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", but it didn't happen due to Renner's scheduling conflicts.
"There was a great sequence where Hawkeye was chasing Cap through Washington D.C.," Joe previously revealed. "There was an awesome sequence where they confronted each other in a ravine on the outskirts of D.C. and Hawkeye was shooting a series of arrows closing in on Cap, Cap closing in on him."
"And then Cap took him down and he realized for the first time that Hawkeye was trying to trick S.H.I.E.L.D, where he whispered something into Cap's ear that Cap had a tracker on his suit and to punch Hawkeye to make it look real, because there was a Quinjet hovering above where they were watching the feedback back at S.H.I.E.L.D."
"That sequence actually was heartbreaking for us to cut it," he said. "It was a cool sequence."
