Jeremy Renner, 54, Gets Candid About How He Connected with the Cast While Avengers: Doomsday Was Filming
Everyone in the world knows that Jeremy Renner has been through hell and back. That terrible snowplowing accident in 2023 worried all of us. Thankfully, his recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. And now? It seems like we will be seeing the actor play Hawkeye again.
Jeremy Renner’s Retirement That Never Actually Happens
In a recent interview that had comic book nerds frantically refreshing their browsers, Jeremy Renner dropped some not-so-subtle hints about his MCU future. When asked about potentially returning for Avengers: Doomsday, the actor gave us that classic Renner response that’s equal parts honest and cheeky.
Jeremy Renner said on Comic Book, “I think he started retired… but he’s always pulled out of retirement, you know, I think he’s a family man; you always know where his allegiance lies, and he’s always come out of retirement, man. Until he’s killed, he’s always gonna be working.”
Ah, yes, the classic superhero retirement that lasts about as long as a Marvel movie’s opening credits. Because nothing says “I’m done with this life” quite like showing up to every major world-ending event with a bow and arrow. Jermey Renner shared his experience of reconnecting with the cast on CinemaBlend: “Yeah, well, they’re very dear, dear, dear friends of mine. I got to catch up with them. Actually, I was on the book tour when they were filming in London. So I gotta break bread with all of the boys on that show. So it was good to see everybody. And we have a forever bond. So whether we’re filming or not, we’re always connected.”
The actor’s casual mention of “breaking bread with all of the boys” sounds like a scene straight out of a buddy comedy. Here’s Hawkeye, just casually dropping by a Marvel film set like he’s stopping by a friend’s barbecue. Though let’s be honest – when your friends include Robert Downey Jr. and the rest of the Avengers cast, your social calendar probably looks a little different than most people’s.
The Timing That Makes You Wonder
Jeremy Renner’s London visit raises some interesting questions about the nature of coincidences in Hollywood. The actor just happened to be touring his book in London while Avengers: Doomsday was in production there? It’s either the most convenient scheduling coincidence in entertainment history, or there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
The timing becomes even more intriguing when you consider that Renner has been busy with his own projects. He’s been working on Season 4 of Mayor of Kingstown while also promoting his memoir about his near-fatal snowplow accident. Yet somehow, his schedule aligned perfectly with his former co-stars’ Marvel filming commitments across the pond.
What’s genuinely heartwarming about Jeremy Renner’s comments is how he emphasizes the lasting connections formed during their time in the MCU. The phrase “forever bond” might sound like typical Hollywood PR speak, but coming from the actor – especially after his life-changing accident – it carries more weight.
The actor has been open about how his Marvel family supported him during his recovery from the January 2023 snowplow accident that nearly killed him. When someone faces a life-or-death situation, you quickly discover who your real friends are. Apparently, the Avengers cast passed that test with flying colors.
While Jeremy Renner didn’t explicitly confirm any involvement in upcoming Marvel projects, his London meetup with the Doomsday cast certainly keeps the door open for speculation. Hawkeye’s story seemed to reach a natural conclusion, but in the MCU, retirement is more of a suggestion than a permanent state.
Final Thoughts
The actor’s London reunion perfectly captures what makes the original Avengers cast so special – they’re not just colleagues who worked together for a decade; they’re genuinely friends who show up for each other. Whether this leads to more Marvel appearances or just more friendship moments, it’s clear that some bonds transcend even the multiverse.
