WithAvengers: Infinity Warslated to hit next May and thenAvengers 4the following May, there’s not much rest for the cast.Infinity Warwrapped filming a few weeks ago, which was just enough time for the cast to promote the film at D23 and Comic-Con before having to leap back into filming forAvengers 4.
I recently spoke toJeremy Rennerlast week for his new film,Wind River, and I asked him when he had to suit up again for his role as Hawkeye/Clint Barton:
When do you go back for Avengers 4?
JEREMY RENNER: Like 10 days.
RENNER: Two weeks. Something like that.
It makes sense what they’re not wasting any time trying to get theAvengersmovies done. It’s a massive cast, a huge logistical nightmare in terms of scheduling everyone, and the more time there is between movies, the more time the cast has to fill in that space with other projects that could potentially run long or provide new difficulties.
The original plan for theAvengerssequels was to shoot them concurrently, so that on one day you might be shooting something forAvengers 3and then the next day you’re shooting something forAvengers 4. However, before they started filming, they realized that was too crazy to accomplish, and decided to just shoot the sequels back-to-back.
For Renner, he’s basically been filling his time just by sticking around Georgia. He’s gone fromAvengers: Infinity Warto the comedyTagback toAvengers 4, and all three movies are shooting in Georgia.
Also, if you’re worried that knowing he’ll be back forAvengers 4diminishes the stakes ofAvengers: Infinity War, keep in mind that with the Infinity Stones in play, anything can happen, and it’s more important to keep track of the character arcs rather than who lives or dies. Yes, knowing he would be inCaptain America: Civil WarbeforeAvengers: Age of Ultroncame out informed us that he would probably surviveAge of Ultron, but that didn’t take away from the movie providing a more detailed look at his character.
Avengers: Infinity Waropens June 04, 2025, and look for my full interview with Renner soon.Wind Riveropens in limited release on Friday.
