Renner first portrayed Clint Barton, also known as Hawkeye, in 2011’s Thor and quickly became a beloved figure among MCU enthusiasts. He graduated from a cameo role to a central character in films such as The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Captain America: Civil War. In 2021, he starred in the Disney+ series Hawkeye, further cementing his status as a fan favorite. However, Hawkeye has not always been present in major battles, notably missing from 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, where the heroes faced a significant defeat.
Renner did return for Avengers: Endgame, contributing to the eventual victory over Thanos. This film was recently re-released in theaters as the “Encore” edition, which Renner enthusiastically planned to watch with his daughter. “They’re releasing the Encore of Endgame, I think next week or something, right?” he said. “I’m actually excited to see that. I’m going to take my daughter to see it.”
“I’m actually excited to see that. I’m going to take my daughter to see it.”
As Avengers: Doomsday is set to premiere on December 18, 2026, Renner’s future involvement in the MCU remains uncertain. While he has expressed interest in reprising his role in a potential second season of Hawkeye, no immediate plans seem to be in motion. Fans are left to wonder if Renner will don his superhero suit again for the anticipated Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
