The series debuted in 2021 and put Renner's supporting Avengers character centre-stage for the first time, delving into his family life and mentorship to promising young archer Kate Bishop (played by Sinners star Hailee Steinfeld).
Speaking on the High Performance podcast, hosted by Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes, Renner explained that Disney broached the topic of a second season of Hawkeye following his recovery from a horrific snow plow incident.
"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?'"
Claiming he told them "to go fly a kite" after the surprising turn of events, he concluded: "We didn't see eye to eye on that, sadly. I still love the character, I'd still love to do it but I had to defend myself. It was a little disheartening that it didn’t happen, but that's fine.
Renner suffered more than 30 broken bones among other life-threatening injuries after being run down by a snow plough in a nightmarish accident on New Year's Day 2023, which he has detailed in a new memoir titled My Next Breath.
Marvel Studios and Disney have yet to comment on Renner's claims.
