Jeremy Renner is not capable as a leading actor
That's why there's no stand alone Hawkeye movie yet.

shareI enjoyed his performance in The Bourne Legacy, felt it was adequate.
shareLegacy was an okay movie, but compared to Matt Damon in the original trilogy? Jeremy Renner lacked charisma and presence.
shareOn the contrary, I find Damon's films to be dull and boring. In "Supremacy" Karl Urban clearly stole the film from him. Not hard. And the "Greengrass Cam" is so darned distracting I could care less. I loved "The Bourne Legacy" because of both Jeremy Renner and the slickness of the film. You could actually see what was happening and also the story has so much historical relevance back to the Vietnam War and the enhancement drugs they put in the meals ready to eat the grunts had. The whole human genome mapping Marta (Rachel Weisz) talked about was so interesting and right up there with a lot of what I've been reading up on from science journals. As for charisma and presence, Renner has that hands down. I look at Damon now and think of him as a big baby. His dissing Tony Gilroy for being a better writer than Greengrass is nothing short of juvenile. Greengrass is neither a good scriptwriter nor director.
shareHe is going to have a series on Disney+ apparently. Although I agree with you, I don’t think he has the chops to be a leading man. I also find him unlikable as a person, he comes off very smug.
shareHe is an asshole irl. A friend of a friend is a distant relative of Jeremy Renner. At a family reunion he was just ignoring everyone like his shit doesn´t stink.
shareThats bull💩. A friend of a friend of my cousins uncles friends younger brother knows him quite well, and says that he's a very nice and likeable guy.
shareThe Hurt Locker?
Anyone see his performance in The Town? He was amazing in that film.
If all you know Jeremy Renner from is The Avengers, you're missing out. Watch The Town, Renner reminds me in that film of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, a loose cannon who brings tension and chaos to every scene he is in because you never know what he's going to do. Awesome performance!
The dude can act, and while the character of Hawkeye probably couldn't get his own movie, Renner certainly has the acting chops and charisma to lead a film.
