It’s been several years since the show first debuted, but Jeremy Renner is not ruling out Hawkeye Season 2. In fact, it sounds like he is keen on returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ever since his cameo in 2011’s Thor, Renner’s Hawkeye has become a key fixture in the MCU, having appeared in The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, and Avengers: Endgame before getting his own spin-off series on Disney+. However, Renner revealed that plans for Hawkeye Season 2 were scrapped when Disney attempted to pay him half of his salary from Season 1.
Renner, though, still wants to return to the role of Clint Barton / Hawkeye, as he revealed during Florida Supercon (via Popverse). Renner said he would love to do Hawkeye Season 2 and expressed his desire to continue Clint Barton’s journey, should Marvel Studios still pursue it, putting the ball in their court. Hawkeye marked Renner’s last live-action MCU appearance, which was in December 2021. Renner said:
“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. We waded through many discussions about the shape of that season. It’s getting my body right and getting everything right for that. The timing of that will come, and if there’s still a need, want, and desire for it, then yeah.”
Jeremy Renner and Hawkeye’s MCU Future

In 2025, it was reported that Marvel Television seemed to be looking to make Hawkeye into a recurring series, alongside Daredevil: Born Again. The small-scale nature of the hero’s adventures, combined with the fact that it is based on a critically acclaimed comic run, certainly helps justify making it a long-running series. Shortly after that, Renner revealed that Disney attempted to pay him less to return. This was also around the time that the actor was not among the many names announced for the Avengers: Doomsday cast.
Obviously, a big factor that would impact Renner’s return to the MCU outside of salary is, of course, his physical well-being. On Jan. 1, 2023, Renner was hospitalized after suffering blunt chest trauma and 38 broken bones after he saved his nephew from being run over by a snowplow. Renner has been recovering and slowly but surely returned to work, with Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 debuting in June 2024. He will next be seen in Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man later this year. A role like Hawkeye is a very physically intensive one, and Renner spoke about that at Florida Supercon, saying, “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.”
Renner has spoken about returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as recently as July 2025. Even if he doesn’t return for Hawkeye Season 2, it would be great for him to be brought in for the reshoots of Avengers: Doomsday to give the character even a brief role in the film and possibly a larger one in Secret Wars. Rumors have circulated that the film might feature some version of the classic MCU Avengers line-up, and they couldn’t have that without Renner’s Hawkeye.
