When a family man turns into a superhero, I am all over it! Hawkeye is the man! As a #fangirl, I love to see how he has a special friendship with Black Widow and from what we saw on The Avengers Age of Ultron, a special supportive relationship with Scarlett Witch. It could be the parent in him that drive him to this strong bonds with other avengers, but who better to tell us that than Jeremy Renner himself complemented by his pal, Elizabeth Olsen. Read on our Exclusive Captain America Civil War Insights From Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner #CaptainAmericaEvent
Interviewing Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner
The friendship chemistry is palpable between Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner. The jokes went and came like for example when Renner was asked he would feel about his character being deaf like it is in the comics. As Olsen was giving her take on things, Renner started in a loud voice “what’s that? what? I can’t hear you!”
On the table the pair was seated at, we had laid out a few of the toy characters from the movie. Jeremy Renner thinks it is a bit weird to have a toy in his image, but Elizabeth Olsen was all over it and thinks it is really awesome. I would love to have my very own one too. I would feel just like Elizabeth Olsen 🙂
Both actors shared that they do as many stunts as they can. Renner said that although there is some CGI animation that goes on, especially when his arrows are shot (because no one wants a camera man to die on set), they do 90% of their own stunts. It is a bit trickier for Scarlett Witch because she doesn’t have that many jumps or the like. She is more about certain body moves or facial expressions. This is a perfect fit for her because she grew up dancing, so her role is like some weird choreography. She says: “I look like an idiot on set but in my mind I feel cool, so hopefully, it looks like I am doing something (on the screen).)
While Renner did not need extra training to use his bow and arrow, he did share that every time there is something different with the bow more technology or different tips for the arrows.
One of the questions was if there was any real life tension between the actors. The answer was that as a matter of fact there is a lot of laughing, jokes and inappropriate humor. As much as they want to complain about anything like their uncomfortable costumes, they do so all the while laughing about it and move on. They do recognize that they have great jobs and can’t really complain much. They look forward to it and to have fun with each other.
Captain America: Civil War does have a lot of humor in it. Renner tells us that the Russo brothers, the film directors, were great and they let them run with it. The bottom line for him is that the most fun part of it all is that everyone seemed to be having fun. A memorable moment for them was a scene of both of them plus Paul Bettany, where Olsen was mentally willing Bettany to the bottom of the earth. It was 4 a.m. when they were working on it. They were giggly and loopy and had tons of fun.
