'Hawkeye' Season 2 Sabotaged By Jeremy Renner Being Lowballed
Jeremy Renner did NOT rehab so hard after such gruesome injury to be treated this way, and he knows it. He’s right to stand firm
Hailee Steinfeld may have fallen prey to and become a vampire in Ryan Coogler’s hit Sinners, but her Hawkeye co-star Jeremy Renner has had to put up with some bloodsuckers of his own, and fending them off has unfortunately delayed their onscreen reunion. Renner, who plays founding Avenger Clint Barton in that Marvel Studios Disney+ miniseries and five previous films, revealed in a new interview with High Performance that he was offered “half” of his salary from the first season.
He was understandably insulted. “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 said. He also thought through what could possibly have led to this devaluation: The New Year’s Day 2023 Sno-Cat snow plow accident. 14,330 pounds that ran him over and crushed him when he tried to help his nephew out of the snow. It resulted in many injuries including eight ribs broken in 14 places, several to the face including his eye almost being squeezed out, a broken right knee and ankle, a broken left leg tibia and ankle, a broken right clavicle and shoulder. “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.'”
'Wake Up Dead Man' Builds Its Mega Ensemble With Jeremy Renner And Mila Kunis
And then there were more. It’s been quite a week since Wake Up Dead Man was first announced to be the title of writer-director Rian Johnson’s third Knives Out mystery, and it’s only continued to grow its cast, now adding a comeback story to its press tour. Thursday brought another three new cast members to its ensemble as it revs toward production early…
It should be noted however that he’s not quite blaming the higher-ups of either involved company, but the miserly accountants. 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. “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.”
It is the snowplow incident and subsequent rehabilitation that is chronicled in Renner’s new book My Next Breath, promotion of which prompted the appearance on High Performance, and includes stops at erm, The Joe Rogan Experience, CBS Mornings, The View and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
