Jeremy Renner Shoots Down Salary Disputes, Hints at More Hawkeye: Did Disney Finally Pay Up?
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Jeremy Renner seems to have buried the hatchet with Disney over pay disputes, hinting at a possible Hawkeye Season 2 or other MCU appearances, leaving fans cautiously optimistic about the archer's future.
Right, so remember a few months back when Jeremy Renner, aka Hawkeye, wasn't exactly thrilled with Disney's offer for a potential Season 2? Seems like those icy winds have thawed, because ol' Clint Barton himself is now saying he's "sure we'll end up doing season two, and do other things". Colour me intrigued, mate.

Back in May, Renner didn't mince words. He basically said Disney offered him "half the money" compared to Season 1, which, fair dinkum, sounds like a bit of a low blow, especially after his, let's just say, *unpleasant* snowplow incident. He even wondered if Disney thought he was "only half the Jeremy" now. Ouch.
But now? Sunshine and rainbows, apparently. "I'm always happy to be in that world, man. I love all those guys, I love the character," Renner told Empire. So, what changed? Did Disney suddenly find a spare vault of gold doubloons? Or did Renner just realize that being Hawkeye, even for less cash, beats, well, *not* being Hawkeye?
The timing is particularly juicy, considering filming is underway for *Avengers: Doomsday*. While Renner's appearance is still unconfirmed (cue the suspenseful music), fans are crossing their fingers that Hawkeye will make an appearance. After all, he's one of the few OG Avengers still kicking around (or, y'know, *shooting* around). Could this be one of those "other things" Renner was alluding to? Possibly!
And let's not forget Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop. She last popped up in a post-credits scene in *The Marvels*, hanging out with Kamala Khan. Are they setting up a Young Avengers team? Only Kevin Feige knows for sure, and he's probably too busy counting all his money to tell us.
For now, Marvel's got its hands full with established teams like the Thunderbolts and Sam Wilson's Avengers, plus the introduction of the Fantastic Four and X-Men in *Doomsday*. But the Renner's comments definitely hints something might be in works for the Hawkeye corner of the MCU.
So, what's the takeaway? It seems Renner and Disney have patched things up, and we might just see more of Hawkeye in the future. Whether it's Season 2, a cameo in *Doomsday*, or something else entirely, only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: the MCU is still pulling strings, and we're all just along for the ride. I reckon it's going to be a wild one, mate. Buckle up!
