Hawkeye's costume was the biggest departure from the comics. Do you know what's really fun and easy to pose with? A bow-and-arrow that you just made out of a stick and a piece of string. Obviously every superhero has its own specific fanbase of devoted 7-year-olds, but once Hawkeye got free from Loki he spent the whole time doing things that were just hilariously flashy and super-slick, like shooting an exploding arrow at aliens behind his own head, and jumping off buildings. My first reactions to Hawkeye were: 1) Disappointment that we didn't get to see more character details/backstory (even though I understand that there just wasn't enough time to flesh out another hero), and 2) amusement because he was so clearly an awesome character for kids. Like the love-interest or bus of innocent children that Batman or Superman has to wrest from the clutches of their villain of the week, Clint is the person who reveals Black Widow's emotional frailties and strengths. I'd actually classify him as filling something akin to the girlfriend/damsel role in Black Widow's character arc - a person she cares about and feels she has to save, allowing the audience to learn about her Dark Past in the process. For the bulk of the movie he's either under mind control or in the midst of an action scene, and the only real moment of Clint Barton time is his scene with Black Widow just after he's woken up.
Not because he's a "normal human" or because he got taken down by Loki (an event that was integral to the plot) but because he gets far, far less screentime in his own right than the other Avengers. If anything, Hawkeye was the weaker link of the team. The blockbuster is due for UK release on April 26th.Black Widow got a truly ridiculous amount of criticism, both from professional reviewers and from mundane fans, but most of it seemed to be down to thoughtless sexism. Marvel Avengers Assemble tells the story of Colonel Nick Fury, a superspy who brings together a team of superheroes as S.H.I.E.L.D to save the earth from Loki and an army of villains.
‘We all have our various things that we have to do to get comfortable.’ All our costumes are unzipped, some air conditioning venting unit goes in, someone is having a wig removed. ‘As soon as we cut, everything comes off. But then it’s “cut!”, and we’re all like, “arrgh, God, get this thing off me!” ‘When the Avengers assemble, it feels like being a little kid. ‘Everybody looks incredibly uncomfortable until the cameras are rolling, then we all look badass,’ she continues. ‘And it’s a one-piece – I have nothing underneath it.’ĭescribing the outlandish costumes that appear throughout Marvel Avengers Assemble, Johansson, 27, describes it as ‘like a surreal, out-of-body experience – like a dress-up, but to the extreme’.
