Jeremy Renner is “sure” that Hawkeye Season 2 will happen.
Renner has played Clint Barton/Hawkeye in the MCU since 2011’s Thor. In 2021, the character got his own Disney+ show that sees Renner reprise his role alongside Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop, Tony Dalton’s Jack Duquesne, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk/Kingpin.
What did Jeremy Renner say about Hawkeye Season 2?
While there was some doubt that Hawkeye Season 2 would ever happen following salary disputes and Renner’s snowplow accident, the actor told Empire Magazine he’s quite sure they’ll “end up doing Season 2, and do other [Marvel Studios] things.”
“I’m always happy to be in that world, man,” he said. “I love all those guys, I love the character…And I’m happy to do it. My body’s getting ready for something like that. I don’t know if anybody wants to see me in tights, but my body will look good in the tights.”
Renner further said he’s now “more than 150 per cent” of where he was physically prior to the snowplow incident.
He continued, “Having health and wellness be such a central part of my life, that’s what’s gotten me back. And even as I age, I just feel stronger than I’ve been. I have some issues, and tendon issues and certain limitations of flexibility and mobility, but I spent a lot of time on getting better and stronger, and I wouldn’t if I didn’t get crushed.”
There has been no official word about Hawkeye being renewed for a second season from Marvel at this time. It’s also not clear if Renner will appear in any of the forthcoming Avengers movies — Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars — as he has not been part of the announced cast up until now.
The first season of Marvel Television’s Hawkeye is available to stream on Disney+.
