"I love that character": Jeremy Renner on doing `Hawkeye` season 2

Actor Jeremy Renner expressed his happiness about doing season two of the 2021 miniseries, `Hawkeye`, created by Jonathan Igla, as reported by People.

Renner said he is “happy to do season two” of `Hawkeye`, the series in which he plays the titular Marvel character.

“I love that character,” he said of archer Clint Barton or Hawkeye. “I think there`s so much for us to do.”

“I`ll always dance with Marvel. I`ll always dance with them for sure when appropriate, when it`s rocking,” the Avengers star said, as quoted by People.

Renner last played Clint in the first season of `Hawkeye`, which ran six episodes. The 2021 Disney+ series costarred Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop.

In his interview earlier, he revealed that he had been offered “half” of his salary from the first season to make a second, as reported by People.

“I`m like, `It`s going to take me twice the amount of work for half the amount of money, and eight months of my time, essentially, to do it for half the amount,` ” he said.

Renner also said that it was his near-fatal snowmobile accident on New Year`s Day 2023 that led to Disney`s “penny pinchers” to offer less, “`Did you think I`m only half the Jeremy because I got ran over?` “

Jeremy suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopaedic injuries after he was crushed by a snowplow in January 2023 incident, which took place in a driveway near Renner`s Lake Tahoe home.

He sustained extensive injuries, including more than 35 bones, which required multiple titanium implants and a gruelling rehabilitation journey, reported People.

The Hawkeye series enabled him to “dive more into the character a bit, in a world that`s more grounded,” he said. “I always wanted to do more of that stuff, and there`s the incident that happened, and I have to get my body in shape to be able to sling arrows again and dive around and do all that stuff, but I`ll get there. I`m doing good.”

Renner`s upcoming projects are Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (in theatres November 26 and on Netflix December 12). His Paramount+ drama, Mayor of Kingstown, will launch its fourth season on October 26, reported People.
