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 almost 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 executed).

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 could be a feel-good enterprise provided that, for fairly a while, we weren’t certain if Renner could be bodily capable of play the character once more. Renner was almost killed when he received run over by a 14,000 pound snowcat, however, miraculously, made an almost full restoration. Hawkeye will probably be again. So what is the hold-up with “Hawkeye?”
You most likely will not be shocked to study this can be a cash concern, however you may be shocked to listen to why Renner has, to this point, 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 should 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 received ran over? Perhaps 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 concern. It is Disney that is low-balling him, notably the “penny pinchers, the accountants.” The 2-time Academy Award nominee known as it “an insult provide.”
Is that this the top of “Hawkeye?” Renner, for one, is hoping it would not shake out that approach. As he instructed Excessive Efficiency:
“Sadly, I nonetheless love the character. I would 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 nice. 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 at the very least 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.”
