Jeremy Renner, aka the Hawkeye of Avengers, is not about to resume his role since he considers that Marvel’s last offer is an insult.
At a time when the gathering Avengers : Doomsday start His huge six -month shoot For a cinema outing on April 29, 2026 in France, everyone (in any case, the people it interests) has the absent among the oldest. If the Black Widow by Scarlett Johansson has bowed out, the Hulk of Mark Ruffalo and the Captain Marvel of Brie Larson apparently have a swimming pool, just like the guards of the Galaxy.
On the ghost side, Chris Hemsworth and Paul Rudd will resume service in Thor and Ant-Man, Robert Downey Jr. will be in the Doctor Doom, and the rumor speaks again and always of an appearance of Chris Evans. But another name is missing in the middle of the V2 of Black Panther, Captain America and Black Widow: Jeremy Renner, alias Hawkeye.
It was the last wheel of the carriage of Avengers From the 2012 film, and he was entitled to his own series, Hawkeyein 2021. Since then, nothing. His absence during the first announcement of the casting ofAvengers : Doomsday could have indicated that he was kept among future surprises, or that he would land in Avengers : Secret Wars in 2027. But given what the actor says, it seems Compromise to see Hawkeye again.
Divide to renner
Jeremy Renner regains the hair of the beast following A serious accident that almost cost him his life. In January 2023, he was struck by his 7-ton snake hunt, and finished with around thirty fractures, a perforation of the liver and a collapse of the lung. More than a year later, the actor gradually resumes his professional activities … but without Marvel on the horizon.
Marvel nevertheless recalled Jeremy Renner For a season 2 of Hawkeyebut he explained in interview with High Maintenance That it went badly:
“They asked me to do season 2, and they offered me half less money. I said to myself, ‘it will ask me twice as much work for two less money, and eight months of my time, basically, to do it, and half less. I said to myself, ‘sorry, but why did you think I was half a game because I was crushed? Maybe that’s why you wanted to pay me twice as much as for the first season? ‘. »»

The actor nevertheless tries to remain polite vis-à-vis his (former) employers, and instructs the Department Compta to not offend anyone:
“It’s not Marvel. It’s not even Disney. It’s just the bells, the accountants. I told them to cook an egg after this insulting offer. So we didn’t agree on that, unfortunately. I always like the character, I would always like to do it, but I had to defend myself. I didn’t ask for more money! But just, pay me for the first season. It’s a bit discouraging that it didn’t happen, but it’s okay. I’m glad to drop it because my body will probably thank me, again and again, that I don’t do that now. But we’ll see. »»
Good accounts make the right avengers
This is not the first time that a member of Avengers has a problem with big sous with Marvel and Disney. In July 2021, Scarlett Johansson attacked the studio in courtexplaining that the release of Black Widow On Disney+ did not comply with the terms of his contract, which provided for a percentage on box office revenue for his salary.
Disney’s first reaction: attacking the actress with a shabby press release, who was trying to make a venal person (hospital, charity, etc.). But after a few months passing weapons in the media, the studio settled the case amicable, that is to say with a large check estimated at 40 million. Scarlett Johansson had welcomed this victory, hoping that the industry would retain the lesson.
But Disney also knows how to spend without counting. In July 2024, Variety said that to pay the return of directors Joe and Anthony Russo (Captain America 2, Captain America : Civil War, Avengers : Infinity War et Endgame) in order to stage Avengers : Doomsday et Avengers : Secret Warsthe studio had dropped $ 80 million. And Robert Downey Jr. who takes over service in a big bad Doctor Doom? “Considerably more” than 80 million.
Note that Deadline specifies that Source at Disney denies the words of Jeremy Rennerwithout giving details. Perhaps it is still a parade of media negotiations, to put pressure on the studio. And maybe within a month, season 2 of Hawkeye will be officially announced, that the actor will pass a head in Avengers : Doomsday et Secret Warsand everyone will lick the boots as in the good old days.
