Hawkeye Season 2 with Jeremy Renner looks highly positive now
Jeremy Renner has revealed that talks for Hawkeye Season 2 remain active, despite earlier uncertainty. The show’s first season streamed on Disney+ in 2021, but Renner’s future as Clint Barton was unclear following his 2023 snowplow accident, which left him with 38 broken bones. He previously revealed that Marvel Studios approached him about returning, but he declined their initial offer, citing that it was “half” of his original salary. Still, he has made clear that he has not closed the door on reprising the role.
Speaking at Florida Supercon, Renner reflected, “It was great to dive more into the character a bit, in a world that’s more grounded. To me, it was a lot more fun to do and more to explore for the character, which is nice. I always wanted to do more of that stuff, and there’s the incident that happened, and I have to get my body in shape to be able to sling arrows again and dive around and do all that stuff, but I’ll get there. I’m doing good.” He emphasized that his recovery has advanced significantly, but he must continue preparing physically before returning as Hawkeye. (via Popverse)
Renner also shared his perspective on Marvel’s future involvement. “I’ll always dance with Marvel. I’ll always dance with them for sure when appropriate, when it’s rocking. I’m happy to do season two of Hawkeye. I love that character. I think there’s so much for us to do.” He added, “We waded through many discussions about the shape of that season. It’s getting my body right and getting everything right for that. The timing of that will come, and if there’s still a need, want, and desire for it, then yeah.”
Hawkeye’s first season remains available to stream on Disney+. Renner’s update indicates that progress depends on both Marvel’s direction and his ongoing recovery.
