Jeremy Renner, known for his role as Clint Barton/Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently gave an optimistic update on his future in the franchise. After a terrifying accident in which his snowplow ran over him while he was trying to save his nephew, Renner spent months recovering from surgery in the intensive care unit. However, during a panel at the Phoenix Fan Fusion event, he expressed his eagerness to return to acting and potentially reprise his Marvel role. Renner mentioned that he would need his daughter's permission, but otherwise he is open to returning to the MCU if they want him back.
Renner's Promising Road To Recovery
Renner's unwavering positivity since his accident has been a source of inspiration for his fans. He has shared numerous pictures and videos from his hospital stay and has been keeping his followers informed about his recovery progress. Renner's sense of humor was also on display when he exchanged jokes with Chris Evans about the incident on social media. Recently, he has been sharing photos and videos of his physical therapy, and his progress has been praised by his colleagues, including Scarlett Johansson who expressed her happiness at seeing him and playfully acknowledging his real-life superhero status.
It remains to be seen whether Marvel will take advantage of Jeremy Renner's recovery and include Hawkeye in future MCU productions. Following the conclusion of his Disney+ series, Hawkeye's future has been uncertain, as he effectively passed the torch to Kate Bishop. However, with several Avengers films and other projects in development, there are plenty of opportunities for Renner to reprise his role. Marvel has demonstrated sensitivity in the past by recasting actors after unexpected setbacks, such as the passing of William Hurt, so it will be interesting to see how they handle Hawkeye's future.
