Jeremy Renner Stands Firm Against 'Hawkeye' Season 2 Pay Cut After Life-Threatening Accident

Marvel enthusiasts anticipating a second season of “Hawkeye” should temper their hopes. Star Jeremy Renner disclosed that financial negotiations have stalled. During a "High Performance" podcast, he explained, “They offered me half the money,” questioning why a pay cut came amid his recovery from a severe accident. “I didn’t seek a raise, just compensation equal to the first season. This is more about corporate penny-pinching than Marvel itself.” Despite setbacks, he hopes to reprise his role someday, reflecting on the physical demands of the production process.
