Hawkeye doesn't have a small fanbase.

He's not the least interesting Avenger. One of the numerous reasons why he's an excellent Avenger is because he's just a human. One of the reasons why he was listed #2 in Marvel's list of the best Avengers of all time.

As far as I know only your friends thought it was Green Arrow.

Joss Whedon will prefectly manage to develop Hawkeye. Although the cast is huge, most of them already know each other (one of the things covered the most by the first movie), the team is already formed (they just need to re-assemble), and Marvel Studios can take advantage of The Avengers being a popular thing to to reply in Iron Man as much as they did with the first movie. So, yeah, he will have plenty of time.
