Out of the many interviews I’ve seen, Ali is the ONLY one who is able to generate enthusiasm from his guests. This guy has excellent interpersonal communication skills.

[vokasimid]

"He is consistent, like student debt"

[cowwithrandomthoughts]

Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, and Scarlett Johansson...
Finally given their own lead projects 10 years after they debuted.

Respect to Mr.Renner dropping the comic nods for us geeks with the Weat Coast Avengers

Clint to Wanda: “Hey, look at me. It’s your fault. It’s everyone’s fault— who cares? Are you up for this? Are you…? Look, I just need to know, because the city is flying. Okay, the city is flying, we’re fighting an army of robots… and I have a bow and arrow. _None_ of this makes sense… but I’m going back out there because it’s my job. Okay, and I can’t do my job and babysit. It doesn’t matter what you did or what you were. You go out there, you fight, and you fight to kill. You stay in here, you’re good. I’ll send your brother to come find you, but if you step out that door… you are an Avenger.”

In my opinion, one of Clint’s best lines/moments.

Ali is just such a legend at aiming for pure positivity with his interviews. He never asks questions that could possibly make them uncomfortable.

Ali, you're the sole reason I click on these interviews regardless of the movie (but especially the MCU ones). Keep it up!

"We were all laughing and weeping, it was a lot. It was a lot to deal...I can't...I'll never watch that again. It was a difficult experience! We were all just, a sobbing mess, and we were laughing, and it was amazing..."
Glad I'm not the only one that felt this way about "Avengers: Endgame"! Jeremy got it!

[socabwai]

Ok, Jeremy knows and cares about West Coast Avengers. He also wants to play it. Great!

[elhopper]

Hawkeye really is an underutilized, underrated Avenger and easily one of my favorites. Cannot wait for the series to come out and give us all the Clint Barton appreciation we deserve!

[onlyw]

The fact that he didn't even know Hawkeye when he first got the role in Thor but then getting invested with the character through the year and now even acknowledge the West Coast Avengers is pretty cool...

[tarmaque]

Ali does the absolute best celebrity interviews. No one else compares. He asks good questions, connects with the guest, and never feels like he's resorting to "how did it feel..." kinds of questions.

[kumabanh]

Is it weird that out of the original 6 Avengers and the actors who play them, I always had the impression that Jeremy didn't care much for his role and all the Marvel stuff. It wasn't until this interview that I realized he does very much care and is passionate about the universe he's a part of.

Not that his performances or personality off screen ever indicated anything bad, it just felt that way because Hawkeye was always so underutilized and I wouldn't be surprised if Jeremy only showed up to work because that was his job. Especially when compared to Evans and RDJ whose characters required them to be much more emotionally involved.

[jackiedragonfly]

I'm glad he got his own show - he is the kind of superhero I prefer: witty, an actual skill performed with athletic elegance, nicely dressed (no stupid-looking costume), no mask (because, really, what producer would dare to put a mask on Jeremy Renner?), family values and sooo likable.

I never ever read any comics, am not a big fan of the superhero-genre (mostly because I have to wait through all the CGI and exploding shit to get to the actual acting, dialogue and story), but I really like the vibe of the new Hawkeye series, as far as the trailers I have seen. It seems like a sort of buddy-comedy, witty dialogue, light and both leads are great - Jeremy and Hailee.

[rosephdianse]

What's great about the interviewer is he levels his questions base on actor personality and keep them engaging. I've seen Jeremy in some of his interviews he seems very laid back guy but in this one he is interested in answering questions. I also appreciate that he gives suggestions to Jeremy.

[sathyanarayanay.h.]

Wow jeremy got emotional when u were describing how great hawkeye is. Shows how much this cast truly love and respect their roles. This interview is amazing ❤

[nonstopanimations]

Seems like such a genuinely chill, down to earth guy. Love em🤙🤙

[levimata]

I like how he’s so much like his character. Very quiet, kept to himself, but also lighthearted in a weird way

[candycrn]

"What is something you would have told your younger self"

"Hydrate"

That right there is why Jeremy Renner is one of my favorite actors. (Well that and he's is really good at what he does)

[nicole]

I had the pleasure of interacting with Jeremy through work and the man is so down to earth and hilarious. One of my favorite memories of that job was just sitting there laughing with him about something really stupid for like 15 mins straight! He’s such a good dad too. His daughter is one of the sweetest little things ever. You can tell there is so much love between them

[raywalker]

“You and I remember Budapest very differently!” Best Hawkeye line ever!
