Jeremy Renner Reveals What Brings Hawkeye Out Of Retirement In Captain America: Civil War

To cap off Avengers: Age of Ultron, Clint Barton decided it was time to call it a super hero career and go spend some safe quality time with his family. However, just a few months later, he’s suiting up again to go to battle. This time, it’s not with bad guys, but with his former friends and fellow Avengers in Captain America: Civil War.

That’s a pretty quick change of heart but Jeremy Renner has some of Hawkeye’s perspective which we may not be seeing as clearly.

“I think it’s a good idea but maybe in practicality, not so much. I think golf got a little boring for him,” Renner explained at the Captain America: Civil War European premiere. “He had to repay a debt to Scarlet Witch and Cap called in need. So, he had to come out retirement.”

Hawkeye will have to do his best to make good on those promises while also trying to make it home to see his family, again.

Captain America: Civil War hits theaters May 6.
