The star of Marvel’s Hawkeye, Jeremy Renner, is gearing up for a comeback to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as per his recent interview. This interview was published on Tuesday in Empire magazine. Renner, who plays the character of Clint Barton, also known as Hawkeye, expressed optimism concerning the second season of the Disney+ series, focusing on his long-established character. This disclosure follows his previous revelation of refusing to tape a subsequent season of Hawkeye after he was offered only half his salary.

The Oscar nominee shared how warm he feels being part of that world. He expressed pure love for the guys there and the character he portrays. He further assured his fans that they would be rolling out season two and other things. Renner is thrilled about this prospect.

Renner had earlier clarified that the offer of a reduced pay on season two of Hawkeye was advanced to him following his severe snowplow accident. He expressed his shock about working doubly for half the pay, costing him eight months of his time. He asked why the fractioned salary, questioning if this was because he got hit by a snowplow.

After the terrifying snowplow accident in 2023, where he was almost dead, Renner revealed that he was gearing up his body for the physical demands of playing Clint/Hawkeye. He humorously mentioned that he wasn’t sure whether his fans wanted to see him in tights. However, he was positively certain he’d look good in them.

Renner, the author of My Next Breath, acknowledged that he had placed a higher value on health and wellness following his dreadful accident. He credited this lifestyle as the key enabler of his recovery. He attested to be more than 150 percent that what he was. His health and wellness centric lifestyle has brought him back, and despite his aging, he feels significantly stronger. He admitted having some issues concerning tendons, limited flexibility, and mobility but devoted considerable time getting better and stronger, all after his near-fatal accident.
