I'd love to see a solo Hawkeye film. He's got a number of solo books to pull from and the current comic focusing on what Hawkeye does when he's not an avenger is excellent source material. As a guy without crazy super powers, there's a lot more opportunity to character build versus the non-stop action we get from most of the Avengers. Truth be told though, I'd love to see Phase 4 be a "West Coast Avengers" storyline where Hawk creates a sister team out in California.
A West Coast Avengers spinoff might be the right vehicle for Hawkeye to grow as a character in the MCU. There are also his roots in SHIELD to consider, and he was mentioned in passing during last night's
Agents of SHIELD. But seeing the cosmic/global nature of the threats that the Avengers are facing, I don't know if the whole West Coast team concept makes as much sense in the context of the MCU as it did in the comics back in the 80's and 90's.
I thought I heard mention of Mockingbird, so maybe they're already going this route.
Mockingbird has actually been featured in the past couple of episodes of
Agents of SHIELD. So far she's been interesting, and I think they're working to develop her into more than just a featured character. I hope they do. Because Adrianne Palicki is HOT!!!!
In the comic, Stark handed the IM gig over to Rhodey, so Black-Iron-Man and later War Machine were a big part of that team. Would be a cool way to keep the Avengers going if RDJ and the other big names want a break or just limit their involvement to cameos akin to Sam Jackson's Fury.
This would be a cool way to utilize someone who's as strong of an actor as Don Cheadle. And expanding on his independent role as War Machine/Iron Patriot would be worth examining. To that end, I also have to wonder if he's also going to be a factor in the Captain America 3 story line.
