Jeremy Renner Too Scared and Tired for Tough Roles

Jeremy Renner, best known for his role as Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, revealed his struggles with returning to acting after a severe snow plow accident in 2023. During his appearance on the Smartless podcast, Renner shared his fears about resuming his career and admitted he currently lacks the energy for highly challenging roles. Despite his physical and mental challenges, Renner found solace in familiar roles like Mike McLusky in Paramount's "Mayor of Kingstown" but expressed hesitation to take on roles vastly different from himself, such as playing Dahmer. Post-accident, Renner's recovery involved overcoming eight broken ribs, broken ankles, a broken leg, and several other severe injuries, yet he remains determined and resilient, fueled by love and titanium.

Jeremy Renner mentioned in February that he would be "strong enough" to return to the MCU if Marvel needed more from Hawkeye, indicating a potential comeback if required.

Jeremy Renner's career spans various notable films beyond the MCU. He earned critical acclaim for his roles in "The Hurt Locker," "The Town," and "Wind River." Renner's versatility as an actor led him to participate in diverse projects like "Arrival," "Tag," and the "Mission: Impossible" franchise. Despite his significant role in the Avengers films, he continues to explore different characters, including an upcoming part in Rian Johnson's sequel, "Wake Up Dead Man."
