LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 22: Jeremy Renner attends the Los Angeles World Premiere of Marvel Studios' "Avengers: Endgame" at the Los Angeles Convention Center on April 23, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.

Overview

  • Jeremy Renner revealed he declined a second season of Disney+'s Hawkeye after being offered half of his first-season salary.
  • Renner suggested the lower offer was influenced by his near-fatal 2023 snowplow accident, which left him with over 30 broken bones and required extensive rehabilitation.
  • He clarified that the pay cut decision was made by Disney accountants, not Marvel Studios, and referred to the proposal as an 'insult.'
  • Renner emphasized that he did not demand a raise but only requested the same pay as in the first season, citing the substantial time and effort required for the role.
  • While disappointed by the outcome, Renner expressed his continued love for the character of Hawkeye and openness to future MCU appearances if terms are fair.
