The fanbase of a character is usually composed by the different versions in different media he/she appears in. I'm a Hawkeye fan and I'm a fan of his movie version. And comic Hawkeye is not only popular in our "minority" exclusively. Since Matt Fraction's Hawkeye series, he has become more popular. There are even Hawkguy shirts.

Although Iron Man will have a key role in the movie, he doesn't need to be developed. The same goes for Hulk (who's already developed) and Black Widow (who was developed in The Avengers). Screen time doesn't equal development.
