Jeremy Renner Says He's "Sure" That Season 2 of HAWKEYE Will Happen at Disney+

Jeremy Renner is best known for his role as Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans were worried about Renner’s health after his near-death experience in a snowplow accident two and a half years ago, as it was touch and go as to whether he would make it out alive, much less recover well enough to play a super hero again. But Renner has defied the odds and has made what he calls a 150% recovery.

Now he’s assuring fans that Hawkeye Season 2 is definitely on the horizon. The first season, which was released as a limited series in 2021, followed Clint/Hawkeye on a mission to get back to his family for Christmas.

But when a threat from his past shows up, Hawkeye reluctantly teams up with Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), a skilled archer and his biggest fan, to unravel a conspiracy.

When asked about the possibility of Season 2, Renner told Empire Magazine he’s quite sure they’ll “end up doing Season 2, and do other [Marvel Studios] things.”

He went on to add, “I’m always happy to be in that world, man. I love all those guys, I love the character…And I’m happy to do it. My body’s getting ready for something like that. I don’t know if anybody wants to see me in tights, but my body will look good in the tights.”

Renner then commented on being “more than 150 per cent” of where he was physically prior to the snowplow incident, and added, “Having health and wellness be such a central part of my life, that’s what’s gotten me back. And even as I age, I just feel stronger than I’ve been.

“I have some issues, and tendon issues and certain limitations of flexibility and mobility, but I spent a lot of time on getting better and stronger, and I wouldn’t if I didn’t get crushed.”

It’s good to hear that Renner is back in shape. I loved the first season of Hawkeye, and would enjoy seeing Renner and Steinfeld back in action. How about you?
