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 declined to reprise his role in 'Hawkeye' Season 2 after Disney offered him half the salary he earned for the first season.
  • Renner suggested the reduced offer was tied to assumptions about his abilities following his near-fatal 2023 snowplow accident, which required extensive rehabilitation.
  • The actor clarified that the decision came from Disney accountants, not Marvel Studios, and described the offer as an 'insult.'
  • Despite turning down the offer, Renner expressed his continued love for the Hawkeye character and openness to returning under fair compensation.
  • Disney has not officially commented on the pay dispute, and the future of the 'Hawkeye' series remains unresolved.
