'Captain America 2': Hawkeye Cut Sequence Explained

Last Week , it was revealed that Hawkeye may
have a supporting role in Captain America 3.
Jeremy Renner revealed that he might return
with more to do after being cut from the original
Captain America: The Winter Soldier screenplay.
Writers Christopher Markus and Stephen
McFeely had included Hawkeye in a very small
cameo, but it wasn't known in what capacity or
how he played into the overall storyline.
Speaking with Screen Rant about the deleted
moments, director Joe Russo went onto explain
the scene in more detail, giving a true reason for
Hawkeye to be present as Captain America
becomes a terrorist suspect.
"What it was going to be, we were trying to
complicate the relationship between Cap and his
S.H.I.E.L.D agent friends. If Hawkeye got a call
from S.H.I.E.L.D saying Captain America is a
fugitive, would he listen to that call or not listen
to that call? That sequence actually was
heartbreaking for us to cut it. I think it
ultimately might have been a conflict with
Renner's schedule. But there was a great
sequence where Hawkeye was chasing Cap
through Washington D.C. there was an
awesome sequence where they confronted each
other in a ravine on the outskirts of D.C. and
Hawkeye was shooting a series of arrows
closing in on Cap, Cap closing in on him. And
then Cap took him down and he realized for the
first time that Hawkeye was trying to trick
S.H.I.E.L.D, where he whispered something into
Cap's ear that Cap had a tracker on his suit and
to punch Hawkeye to make it look real, because
there was a Quinjet hovering above where they
were watching the feedback back at
S.H.I.E.L.D.
So it was a cool sequence. But look, there's a
million iterations of films, and especially when
dealing with Marvel movies where characters
can come in or come out during the creative
process. And you keep working and working like
a Rubik's Cube till you find the right
configuration where everything lines up. So even
though we lost that sequence, I think we may
have streamlined the movie and made it a little
bit more propulsive."
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Blu-ray hits
stores on September 9. It will include an audio
commentary with directors Anthony Russo and
Joe Russo where they go more into what was
left out of the finished movie.
Captain America 3 comes to theaters May 6th,
2016 . The film is directed by Anthony Russo ,
Joe Russo .
