Is "Hawkeye" Season 2 Happening? Here's What We Know
Yara Sameh
Jeremy Renner is opening up about why there's no second season of 'Hawkeye' yet.
In a new interview with
High Performance
, Renner, who plays Clint Barton, said he was offered 'half' of his salary from the first season of the Disney+ series.
'They asked me to do Season 2, and they offered me half the money. I'm like, 'Well, it's going to take me twice the amount of work for half the amount of money, and eight months of my time, essentially, to do it for half the amount,'' he added.
Renner went on to suggest that the proposed lower salary was a result of his near-fatal 2023 snowplow accident. 'I'm like, 'I'm sorry? Why? Did you think I'm only half the Jeremy because I got ran over? Maybe that's why you want to pay me half of what I made on the first season.''
The Marvel star was hospitalized for blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries on January 1, 2023, after his Sno-Cat, a large snowplow that weighs at least 14,330 pounds, ran him over.
Renner was trying to help his nephew out of the snow near his home in Lake Tahoe when the Sno-Cat crushed him. His injuries included eight ribs broken in 14 places, a broken right knee and ankle, a broken left leg tibia and ankle, a broken right clavicle and shoulder and more.
'This is not Marvel, mind you. This is like, just Disney, not even really Disney. It's just the penny pinchers, the accountants. I told them to go fly a kite. I mean, just at the at the insult offer. So we didn't see eye to eye on it,' Renner continued, adding that he's not ruling out a return to 'Hawkeye' in the future. 'Sadly, I still love the character. I'd still love to do it, but I I had to defend myself. I didn't ask for any more money, mind you. Just pay me what I made made the first season. So it's all disheartening that that didn't happen, but that's fine. I'm happy to let that go because my body's probably thanking me, time and time again, that I'm not doing it right now. But we'll see.'
In general, an actor's salary tends to increase for subsequent seasons of a TV show.
The first season of 'Hawkeye,' which also starred Hailee Steinfeld and Florence Pugh, debuted on Disney+ in late 2021 to strong reviews, earning a 92 percent positive score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 88 percent audience score.
Furthermore, the series was a Top 10 show in the streaming ratings, and grew week after week during its five-week run, with its finale peaking with 938 million minutes of viewing time during Christmas week.
It is unclear if or when Renner could return to Marvel. He was not among the cast announced for "Avengers: Doomsday," though more castings are to come.

Hesham Nazih Joins Marvel Again to Score 'Eyes of Wakanda' Animated Series, Streaming August 6 on Disney+
Renowned Egyptian composer Hesham Nazih has announced his latest collaboration with Marvel Animation: composing the score for Eyes of Wakanda, a new animated series set to premiere on Disney+ on August 6, 2025. Nazih shared the exciting news via his official platforms, marking his second partnership with Marvel following the global acclaim he received for his work on Moon Knight (2022). His Moon Knight score was widely praised for its musical depth and seamless fusion of Egyptian identity with Hollywood-style storytelling. What Is Eyes of Wakanda? Set in the same universe as Black Panther, Eyes of Wakanda is one of the first projects in Marvel's Phase Six and consists of four animated episodes produced by Marvel Animation. The story follows elite Wakandan warriors known as the 'Hatut Zeraze' or 'War Dogs,' tasked across different eras with retrieving lost pieces of vibranium — the powerful, mysterious metal unique to Wakanda. Described by some as an 'African James Bond,' the series dives into Wakanda's hidden history, blending espionage, sci-fi, and high-stakes action in a thrilling animated journey.
