He says he loves the role and is physically ready to play it again.
Renner 's future in the MCU
Although his character, Hawkeye (Clint Barton), is not part of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film, Renner is still positive about returning to the role.
In an interview with Empire, Renner said he loves being part of the MCU and still feels strong enough to play the superhero. He believes there's a good chance 'Hawkeye Season 2' will eventually happen and even hinted at other future appearances.
He said 'I'm always happy to be in that world, man, I love all those guys, I love the character. I'm sure we'll end up doing Season 2 and do other things. And I'm happy to do it. My body's getting ready for something like that.
I don't know if anybody wants to see me in tights, but my body will look good in the tights.'
The first season of 'Hawkeye' was released in 2021 and received positive feedback. However, a second season didn't move forward due to a contract issue.
Earlier this year, Renner revealed that he was offered half the salary compared to Season 1, which he turned down.
Rumours about Season 2
There were rumours that Season 2 would be similar in style to 'The Raid', focusing on intense action in a single location. Renner confirmed that some of these ideas were true and said everyone involved was interested in continuing the story. Marvel executive Brad Winderbaum also hinted that Season 2 is still being considered, especially because of the strong character dynamics and holiday-themed setting.

Even though Marvel is now producing fewer movies and shows, Renner's openness to return is a good sign. After the contract dispute, many fans thought he might leave the MCU for good. But Renner clarified he never asked for more money just the same as before.
While it's still unclear if 'Hawkeye Season 2' will fit into Marvel's future plans, there's hope that Clint Barton will return in some way.

Some fans even believe this new version takes inspiration from both the old comics and the animated series and Sam Raimi's trilogy. The suit's tension seams are evident, and the fabric displays a subtle hexagonal texture, suggesting Peter's return to a handmade costume style.

Q: Why did they choose this style for Brand New Day? It marks a visual return to Peter's roots, a homemade suit without advanced tech, reflecting post-No Way Home identity loss and emotional growth. Q: When and where is filming taking place? Filming began in the summer of 2025 in Glasgow, UK, which is standing in for New York City. Q: Who else stars in the film alongside Holland? The cast includes Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, with Jon Bernthal as the Punisher and Sadie Sink joining in a mystery role.
