Captain America: The Winter Soldier currently ranks as one of 2014’s highest-grossing films, so it’s no surprise that there’s a lot of speculation surrounding its sequel — particularly which supporting characters will appear in the film alongside Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). According to Jeremy Renner, Marvel’s superhero marksman Hawkeye may have a role in the third installment of the soldier-turned-superhero’s solo franchise.

“I think he’s a utility guy that can bounce around into other people’s universes a little bit, especially ‘Cap 3,'” Renner told MTV News in a recent interview. “There’s whispers of that.”

After making his debut in Thor and playing a less-than-heroic role in much of The Avengers, Renner’s Hawkeye has been one of the most under-used lead characters in Marvel’s cinematic universe. He was conspicuously absent in The Winter Soldier, but he’ll return in Avengers: Age Of Ultron — and beyond that is anyone’s guess.

Still, Renner says he’s content not to have a solo Hawkeye film in the works like many of his fellow Avengers actors.

“I’m happy to be the ensemble,” he told MTV. “I’m not scratching or clawing to do a solo movie by any means.”

Avengers: Age Of Ultron hits theaters May 1, 2015. The third installment of the Captain America franchise is currently scheduled to premiere a year later on May 6, 2016.

Everything you need to know about Andor season 2

Cassian aims his gun in Andor.

Andor is arguably Lucasfilm's crowning achievement of the 21st century. While that may be up for debate, there's no denying the success of Andor season 1, culminating with universal acclaim from critics and eight Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. It's certainly the most mature Star Wars project to date.

Created by Tony Gilroy, Andor stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, the petty thief who will eventually become a key leader and spy for the Rebel Alliance. Andor is a prequel set five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the film where Luna first introduced audiences to Cassian. It's been a long time since Andor season 1 ended in November 2022. Slowly but surely, season 2 is on the way. Below is everything you need to know about Andor season 2.
Is there a release date for Andor season 2?
There is no release date for Andor season 2 yet. Andor season 2 was originally scheduled to be released in August 2024, two years after season 1 premiered. However, the series experienced several production delays while filming because of the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. Therefore, Andor season 2 had to move its late summer 2024 release date.

The best Star Wars shows on Disney+

Morgan Elsbeth in Star Wars: Tales of the Empire.

When Disney+ launched in 2019, it was understood that the biggest attractions were the Star Wars and Marvel original series. Nearly five years later, the rollout of shows from those franchises has slowed down to a virtual crawl. However, heading into this year's Star Wars Day, there are actually two new shows on the horizon. But we can't guarantee anything else Star Wars-related will arrive on Disney+ in 2024.

On May 4, Disney+ is premiering the animated anthology series, Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, which follows up on some story threads from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Ahsoka. Star Wars: The Acolyte will follow on June 4, but we don't have too many details about that series yet. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew was originally slated to arrive in 2024 as well, but since there's been no sign of that series to date, it may slip into 2025.
