Not long afterJeremy Rennerrevealed hedeclined to return forHawkeyeSeason 2after Marvel offered him only half of his Season 1 salary, the MCU star is back with a more optimistic update. Renner has been playingHawkeyesince Phase 1 of the MCU after making his debut inThor, and he has since featured in every Phase, except Phase 5.Hawkeyewas one of the first series in Marvel’s Disney+ era, coming out of the gate with the likes ofWandaVision,The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, andLoki, but there has been no concrete evidence thatHawkeyewas getting a second season. However, Renner recently sat down for an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast and addressed the rumors thatHawkeyewas getting another season:
“Maybe some of that’s true. We got into it a little bit, sort of storywise and stuff, in doing another season.Everyone’s interested in it- I’m like,‘Yeah, of course man, I would not want to say no to that.‘I think there is a lot of ideas that they still got to figure out -I’m always game to do it, it’s a fun world and I love being part of it.”
With a tenure dating back more than 13 years, Jeremy Renner has certainly left his mark on the MCU enough to say that the franchise would not be the same without him. The firstAvengersmovie saw him join forces with Loki (Tom Hiddleston) after Loki uses his mind stone-infused staff to take away his free will. He was also instrumental in recruiting Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) to the Avengers inAge of Ultron, and he helped her break out of the Avengers compound inCaptain America: Civil War. The Avengers were missing Hawkeye inInfinity War, and while he likely wouldn’t have moved the needle against Thanos (Josh Brolin), his return inEndgamecertainly helped propel the team to victory.Hawkeyealso introduced Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), who is poised to be a member of the MCU’s Young Avengers going forward.
