Jeremy Renner Says He’s Ready for 'Hawkeye’'Season 2 — But Fans Think It’s All About the Money (And Honestly, Same)
Something behind the scenes definitely shifted — and fans noticed fast.
I remember hearing the whispers last year — that Jeremy Renner turned down Hawkeye Season 2 because Marvel offered him half the money he got for Season 1.
At the time, I believed it. After everything he went through with that near-fatal snowplow accident, why come back unless the deal was right? But now, Renner’s saying something different.
In a new interview with Empire, he says, "I’m sure we’ll end up doing Season 2, and do other things. And I’m happy to do it… my body’s getting ready for something like that."
He even joked about wearing tights again, saying he’s recovered "more than 150%." So what changed?
Fans online are buzzing. One Reddit user wrote,
"I guess they changed their minds and agreed to his demands or he lowered his demands (maybe he wasn’t finding many lucrative opportunities)."
Another added,
"Dude made Marvel money for over a decade. Unless his surgery turned him into the 6 million dollar man, I doubt he’s in trouble financially."
Honestly, I kind of agree. Renner’s been the steady heart of the MCU for years, and it makes sense he’d want fair pay. Whether Marvel caved or he compromised, Clint Barton looks ready for action again — and that’s all fans want.
