Jeremy Renner accused Marvel Studios of making a low ball offer to renew his Disney+ show Hawkeye for a second term.
“They asked me to do season 2 and they offered me half the money,” explained on Thursday’s episode, May 1, the “High Performance” podcast. “I’m like, ‘Wow, it’s going to take me twice how much work for half the amount of money.” ”
Renner, 54, admitted that he would have physical restrictions filming an active show as Hawkeye Due to life -changing injuries he received after being crushed by a snow plow 14,000 lbs in January 2023. The Avenger Star wrote in his biography My next breath that more than 30 bones In his body he was broken in the accident.
In light of his injuries, Renner said he was not prepared to take a stunning pay cut of Marvel Studios.
“I’m sorry, why? Do you think I’m only ‘half the Jeremy’ because I ran over? Maybe that’s why you want to pay half what I did on the first season?” He headed in his latest interview.
Renner said he personally did not blame Marvel or Disney in his entirety for the ball -based ball offer, instead singing the “Penny Pinmers” who decide on financial arrangements.
“I told them to go a kite fly. I mean, only in the offensive motion,” he said. “We didn’t see an eye on it, unfortunately.”
The actor stressed that he still “loves Hawkeye’s character” and would still love “to bring back his Disney+ show, but he couldn’t agree to what Marvel was offering.
“I had to defend myself,” he said. “I didn’t ask for more money, remember. Just pay me what the first season did. It’s a bit depressing that didn’t happen. But that’s fine. I’m happy to let that go because my body probably thank me, repeatedly again, for that (decision).”
Marvel’s failure to reach an agreement with Renner is particularly surprising as the actor has been a key part of the Marvel cinematic universe for his early years. Renner showed as a Barton (Aka Hawkeye) shield agent in 2011’s Twist and went on to appear in each of the previous four Avenger Movies. The first season of the Disney+ Show broadcast at the end of 2021 and showed Hailee SteinfeldKate Bishop takes over the Hawkeye mantle.
Not surprisingly, Renner’s name was missing when Marvel announced the cast because he was coming Avengers: Doomsday a movie, which will appear Chris Hemsworth. Paul Rudd. Tom Hiddleston and Robert Downey Jr.Among many other MCU stars returning.
In terms of Renner’s health, the actor threw light after his horrific snow plow accident in his biography. He even shared a moment’s memory of how close he came to death while waiting for rescue workers.
“As I lie on the ice, my heart rate slowed down, and right there, on New Year’s Day that new year, unknown to my daughter, my sisters, my friends, my dad, my mother, I was just tired,” Renner wrote in My next breath. “After about 30 minutes on the ice, from hand breathing for so long, a similar effort to making 10 or 20 pushed up a minute for half an hour … that’s when he died.”
Thankfully, Renner was saved before any tragedy could now happen. Renner later remembers have “a combination of opioids for pain and benzos for sleep,” while it must eventually be “Handcuffed” to his hospital bed Because he is so eager to be released.
