Marvel Studios’ forays into streaming tv sequence by way of Disney+ have met with combined responses from followers and critics alike, however one sequence that nearly everybody dug was “Hawkeye.” Created by Jonathan Igla (a two-time WGA Award winner for his work on “Mad Males”), the sequence 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 barely examined the viewer’s persistence with a padded-out episode (like nearly each different MCU sequence has finished).

If there’s one sequence 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 could be a feel-good endeavor on condition that, for fairly a while, we weren’t certain if Renner could be bodily in a position to 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 can be again. So what is the hold-up with “Hawkeye?”
You most likely will not be stunned to study this can be a cash situation, however you may be shocked to listen to why Renner has, to date, turned down the chance to return for season 2.
Disney’s making an attempt to steamroll an already steamrolled Jeremy Renner
In an interview with Excessive Efficiency, Renner revealed that Disney and Marvel Studios made him a suggestion to shoot season 2 of “Hawkeye,” however he refused as a result of they supplied him half his wage from the primary season. Based on Renner, “I am like, ‘Nicely, it’ll take me twice the quantity of labor for half the amount of cash, and eight months of my time, primarily, 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 suppose I am solely half the Jeremy as a result of I obtained ran over? Possibly that is why you wish to pay me half of what I made on the primary season.'”

Renner then specified that this isn’t a Marvel situation. It is Disney that is low-balling him, significantly the “penny pinchers, the accountants.” The 2-time Academy Award nominee known as it “an insult supply.”
Is that this the tip of “Hawkeye?” Renner, for one, is hoping it would not shake out that method. 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 more cash, thoughts you. Simply pay me what I made the primary season. So it is all disheartening that that did not occur, however that is high quality. I am glad 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 no less than pays Renner what he earned on the primary season of “Hawkeye.” If they cannot do this, I actually do not know why Renner is returning for “Avengers: Doomsday.”
