'Captain America 3' will reportedly see lead actor Chris Evans along with another Marvel mainstay, Jeremy Renner, as Hawkeye in the upcoming addition to the film franchise.

However, the 43-year old actor admitted in an interview with MTV that he is not anticipating on going solo for a Hawkeye spin-off anytime soon.
"I'm happy to be the ensemble. I'm not scratching or clawing to do a solo movie by any means," Renner states.
