As we all know by now, Hawkeye was supposed to be in the lineup for Captain America: The Winter Soldier but was later written out leaving questions for fans. Now, The Russo Brothers have come forward giving details as to why he was cut and how much impact he would have on the final cut of the film.
"We had great stuff for him actually in the film,"
"He had a couple of really cool scenes in the movie. It’s a big movie as it is, so it certainly helped that it’s not in there. I think it would increase the running time by about 10 or 15 minutes if they were in the movie, just because you want the right amount of time to actually treat those scenes properly. I think it was a scheduling issue."
Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes to Blu-ray and DVD September 9th
