Jeremy Renner on loving how Hawkeye has a family, no superpowers.
It is not every day you become a target of Hawkeye himself.
During our roundtable interview with Jeremy Renner at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, I accidentally interrupted a question from another journalist.
"Tsk, tsk... you need to wait for your turn," he chided me.
The 48-year-old US actor then winked at me, held my arm and mouthed "I'm sorry".
And that was how the "I got shot by Hawkeye" bragging rights came about.
The mood in the room was light, with Renner contributing lots of teasing and laughter - the opposite of the dark, brooding feeling from the Avengers: Endgame trailer, especially the scenes of Renner's master archer Clint Barton/Hawkeye.
Sporting a mohawk and menacing tattoos, Hawkeye's transformation point to a new character called Ronin. According to the comics, Barton takes on that samurai identity for a short period.

Seoul: Actor Jeremy Renner shot to fame with his role as the bow-wielding Hawkeye from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He says he enjoys every moment of suiting up and essaying the mighty hero and feels blessed to play "make-believe" for a living.
He first got his full-fledged role in Marvel films with "The Avengers" in 2012 and went on to play Hawkeye in movies, including "Avengers: Age of Ultron".
"I like every moment (of playing Hawkeye). I like showing up on sets. I feel blessed to be able to play make-believe for a living. It's my job. I think the greatest takeaway will be my friendships over the last decade with not just the cast but guys like the first assistant director," Renner told select media, including IANS, here.
There is a buzz about his exit from the franchise that also stars actors like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson.
When IANS asked whether the forthcoming "Avengers: Endgame" will be his last Marvel movie, he said: "I don't know. I feel like there is never a last thing in Marvel. Marvel is a giant universe of storytelling. I don't believe there is ever a finish line. So, I would say no."
If not films, Renner's Hawkeye, an archery ace, might get his own series.
