Jeremy Renner not in Avengers: Doomsday: Hawkeye joke about December 2026
Jeremy Renner says he’s not in Avengers: Doomsday and jokes the Avengers will lose without Hawkeye. The source still lists a December 2026 premiere.
What happened
Jeremy Renner is quoted in a shared Q&A clip saying that he is not in Avengers: Doomsday. In the same passage, he makes a light joke about Hawkeye, saying the Avengers will probably lose because they did not bring him in. The source’s wording is that the Avengers will lose in Doomsday and that it is their fault for not calling Hawkeye.
The reporting frames his comment as a playful response to a question about whether he is returning for the Marvel film. The source ties that response to an online-shared clip and to a tweet from @drdoomarchive, which summarizes Renner’s remark. In the provided information, there is no official confirmation from Marvel that Renner or Hawkeye is part of the cast of Avengers: Doomsday.
The source also lists Avengers: Doomsday as a Marvel film due to arrive in December 2026. That is presented in the supplied text as a release note, but there is no additional confirmation that the date is still final. The available details do note that the comment is being shared on 2026-10-12, while the source also refers back to earlier MCU moments involving Renner.
Timeline
2011: Jeremy Renner makes his first MCU appearance as Hawkeye in Thor, according to the source.
2021: The supplied source refers to earlier MCU moments involving Renner, without expanding on them.
2026-10-12: Coverage of Renner’s comment about Avengers: Doomsday is shared.
2026-10-12: A tweet from @drdoomarchive summarizes the remark as the Avengers losing in Doomsday because they did not call Hawkeye.
December 2026: Avengers: Doomsday is listed in the source as the planned premiere.
Background
Hawkeye, aka Clint Barton, has been a recurring character since the early MCU years. The supplied source places Renner’s recent comment in that Marvel context and links it to his earlier role in Thor from 2011. That makes the joke clearly about a character fans have known since the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The available information does not include an official Marvel cast announcement for Avengers: Doomsday. Renner’s statement therefore remains a personal, humorous reaction in a Q&A clip that was shared online. The source also does not mention any additional cast members, any official Marvel response, or any plot details about Hawkeye’s role in the film.
The supplied details do provide a clear time marker: the coverage is being shared on 2026-10-12, while the film is still tied to December 2026 in the source. Because the source gives no further confirmation, it is unclear whether that release date was still unchanged at the time of publication. It is also unclear whether the Q&A clip came from a recent interview or from an older moment that was later recirculated online.
The @drdoomarchive tweet adds only a short summary of Renner’s joke. In that summary, the Avengers are said to lose in Doomsday because they did not call Hawkeye. That supports the reading that this is a light, unofficial comment, but it is not a full interview or transcript.
