Jeremy Renner Says the Talks Are Still Ongoing for HAWKEYE Season 2

Fans have been wondering about the fate of Hawkeye since the self-titled series debuted on Disney+ four years ago.

The Marvel superhero, played by Jeremy Renner across several films as well as the series, has been M.I.A. since that show ended, and while part of his absence was understandable due to his life-threatening accident in January 2023, he has since recovered and discussions have arisen once again.

Many fans were outraged on Renner’s behalf earlier this year when he revealed that he had been offered a contract to come back for a second season, but it included the low-ball offer of half his salary from the first season. Many wondered if there was any coming back after that, or if Renner was done with the franchise role.

Now, the actor says there are still ongoing talks, which is great because it means they know they’ll have to do better than a bullshit offer, and the project still has a chance to move forward.

Speaking at Florida Supercon this weekend (via Popverse), Renner said of the series:

"It was great to dive more into the character a bit, in a world that’s more grounded. To me, it was a lot more fun to do and more to explore for the character, which is nice.

“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. I’ll always dance with Marvel. I’ll always dance with them for sure when appropriate, when it’s rocking. I’m happy to do season two of Hawkeye. I love that character. I think there’s so much for us to do."

I would love to see this series return. It’s one of my favorites of the Marvel shows, and I’d love to return to that world and see what Clint and Kate (Hailee Steinfeld) have been up to since last time.

I guess we will just have to wait and see how it all pans out.
