Jeremy Renner Plans MCU Return After 2023 Accident

Jeremy Renner has expressed strong enthusiasm about returning to his role as Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, suggesting that a second season of the Disney+ series is likely. Despite a near-fatal snowplow accident in 2023 that left him with over 30 broken bones and other severe injuries, Renner says he feels stronger than ever and is physically preparing for the demanding role. He revealed that earlier this year he declined a second season offer from Marvel because they proposed paying him half of his original salary, a decision he attributed to his accident. Renner emphasized his dedication to health and wellness as central to his recovery and readiness to perform stunts again, even though he still faces some physical limitations. He remains optimistic about future projects within the MCU, whether it be the Hawkeye series or other Marvel movies, and is excited to rejoin the cast and crew. Overall, Renner's statements reflect both his commitment to the character and a cautious negotiation stance regarding his contract for continuing with Marvel.
