Jeremy Renner on returning with Hawkeye 2: ‘Always happy to be in that world’

Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye

Hollywood star Jeremy Renner, who had a tragic snow plough accident in 2023, said he is ready to reprise his role of the bow-wielding Avenger, Hawkeye as his body is "getting ready."

The star broke 38 bones in his body, sustained a collapsed lung, and lacerated liver after being crushed by his snowcat in January 2023. Renner added that he is open to whatever Marvel has planned, whether that be a second season of the Hawkeye Disney+ series or an MCU blockbuster. "I'm always happy to be in that world, man. I love all those guys, [and] I love the character," he said during a recent interview.

"I'm sure we'll end up doing Season 2 [of Hawkeye], and do other things. 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," he added.

He shared that he's recovered "more than 150 per cent" from his near-fatal accident, and is ready for the stunt work required for a Marvel vehicle. "Having health and wellness as such a central part of my life, that's what has gotten me back," Renner said. "And even as I age, I just feel stronger than I've been. I have some tendon issues and certain limitations of flexibility and mobility, but I spent a lot of time on getting better and stronger. I wouldn't if I didn't get crushed."

This isn't the first time Renner spoke out about his potential MCU comeback. In May, he said Marvel asked him to come back for Hawkeye's second season, but offered him "half" of his salary from the first season. Renner speculated that his incident, which left him with eight ribs broken in 14 places, a broken right knee and ankle, a broken left leg tibia, a broken right clavicle and shoulder, had something to do with the reduced offer.

He said at the time, "I'm like, ‘I'm sorry? Why? Did you think I'm only half the Jeremy because I got ran over? Maybe that's why you want to pay me half of what I made on the first season'."
