Jeremy Renner Turned Down Hawkeye Season 2 Over Salary 'Insult Offer'

Jeremy Renner declined an offer for a second season of Marvel’s Hawkeye, citing Disney’s “penny pinchers” asking him to work twice as hard for half the pay. He quipped that his January 2023 accident might have played a role in why he was underpaid. Despite declining, Renner remains passionate about reprising his role and hopes to return, though not at a reduced rate. Florence Pugh will reprise her character as Yelena Belova for the movie Thunderbolts this weekend.
