• JEREMY RENNER SPEAKSAVENGERS, AND ALL HIS OTHER FILMS

With Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol hitting theaterssoon, ComingSoon.net sat down for an exclusive interview with star JeremyRenner.

The actor spoke a few of his upcoming films which, includesMarvel's The Avengers, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, The Bourne Legacy andmore.

"I never went after a big franchise," Renner saidof his upcoming four-in-a-row. "I never went after a big action movie.They just sort of kind of manifested in a way...

When asked about the similarities between some of hisupcoming roles, Renner explained that each is very different on a characterlevel.

"It was kind of impossible for me to say no [to thesefilms]," he added, "as long as there was stuff for me to docharacter-wise, selfishly, it's just a bigger setting. A bigger stage."

Already featured in a brief cameo in this past summer'sThor, Renner will soon wield Clint Barton's bow in a more significant capacitycome May 6, 2012.

"[I] was blessed to be a part of [the Marvel]universe," he continued, "because I love what Marvel did withsomething so fantastical and unrealistic, making it kind of plausible, likewhen they did "Iron Man". I just thought those were really greatmovies, the first one in particular... The character of Hawkeye was always cool.He's kind of a rogue, shadowy character. That's what attracted me to him. Thenhe's also a human being. He just has a high skill set, so they call him asuperhero."

While all four blockbuster films are potential franchises,Renner still teased that he's going to be taking a break from the genre.

"You're not going to see me do another action movie fora while," he smiled.

Post Bourne, Renner is set to star opposite Marion Cotillardand Joaquin Phoenix in writer/director James Gray's period drama Low Life andthen may again team with Gray for a biopic of actor Steve McQueen.

"That's one's still really early on," heexplained. "He doesn't even have a first draft yet. It's certainlysomething that interests me. If it comes to fruition, fantastic. We'llsee."
