Despite previously saying he had declined to come back for the Marvel series, Renner is now "sure" its second installment will happen.

Jeremy Renner is a real-life Avenger, the actor’s return after his near-fatal 2023 snowplow accident is proof of it and fans can’t wait to see him again in the MCU. He is among the actors who have been in almost every phase of the long-running franchise like fellow co-stars Tom Hiddleston and Sebastiaan Stan.

"I love all those guys, I love the character." Hawkeye got his main character treatment in 2021, when Disney+ launched a series starring Renner and Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, his partner in (stopping) crime.
