Marvel Studios’ forays into streaming tv collection by way of Disney+ have met with blended responses from followers and critics alike, however one collection that nearly everybody dug was “Hawkeye.” Created by Jonathan Igla (a two-time WGA Award winner for his work on “Mad Males”), the collection was powered by the zippy banter between Jeremy Renner’s sharp-shooting Avenger and Hailee Steinfeld’s Hawkeye-superfan Kate Bishop. It did not overstay its welcome at six episodes, and infrequently examined the viewer’s endurance with a padded-out episode (like nearly each different MCU collection has performed).

If there’s one collection that is due for a season 2, it is “Hawkeye.” Not solely are we clamoring for extra quippy enjoyable with Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, a second go-round can be a feel-good endeavor provided that, for fairly a while, we weren’t positive if Renner can be bodily capable of play the character once more. Renner was practically killed when he obtained run over by a 14,000 pound snowcat, however, miraculously, made an almost full restoration. Hawkeye shall be again. So what is the hold-up with “Hawkeye?”
You most likely will not be stunned to be taught this can be a cash difficulty, however you is perhaps shocked to listen to why Renner has, so far, turned down the chance to return for season 2.
Disney’s attempting to steamroll an already steamrolled Jeremy Renner
In an interview with Excessive Efficiency, Renner revealed that Disney and Marvel Studios made him a proposal to shoot season 2 of “Hawkeye,” however he refused as a result of they provided him half his wage from the primary season. In line with Renner, “I am like, ‘Effectively, it will take me twice the quantity of labor for half the amount of cash, and eight months of my time, basically, to do it for half the quantity.” He did not mince phrases about his anger over the proposed deal. “I am like, ‘I am sorry? Why? Did you assume I am solely half the Jeremy as a result of I obtained ran over? Perhaps that is why you need to pay me half of what I made on the primary season.'”

Renner then specified that this isn’t a Marvel difficulty. It is Disney that is low-balling him, significantly the “penny pinchers, the accountants.” The 2-time Academy Award nominee referred to as it “an insult supply.”
Is that this the top of “Hawkeye?” Renner, for one, is hoping it does not shake out that means. As he instructed Excessive Efficiency:
“Sadly, I nonetheless love the character. I might nonetheless like to do it, however I needed to defend myself. I did not ask for any extra money, thoughts you. Simply pay me what I made the primary season. So it is all disheartening that that did not occur, however that is tremendous. I am blissful to let that go, as a result of my physique’s most likely thanking me, time and time once more, that I am not doing it proper now. However we’ll see.”
Hopefully, Disney knocks off this nickel-and-dime nonsense, and a minimum of pays Renner what he earned on the primary season of “Hawkeye.” If they cannot do this, I truthfully do not know why Renner is returning for “Avengers: Doomsday.”
