Marvel Studios' upcoming ensemble blockbuster "Avengers: Doomsday" is confirmed to be missing one of its original Avengers members. When asked in a recent interview whether he would be appearing, Jeremy Renner directly denied the possibility, stating that he has no role in the film.
What Does Renner's Response Reveal?
When asked about it, Renner clearly stated that he is not involved in the movie. He then joked humorously, suggesting that he hadn't been invited back, and that this time the ensemble film might end in failure, placing the blame on the crew for not contacting him. After this exchange surfaced, some users on the social platform X also posted in a half-joking manner echoing his remarks, quipping that even without Hawkeye in the film, the ending could probably be predicted anyway.
Why Didn't His Recovery Progress and Willingness to Return Carry Over to This Film?
Renner suffered a snowplow accident in 2023 that was at one point life-threatening, followed by a lengthy rehabilitation process. In 2025, he mentioned his hope to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with discussions covering a possible second season of "Hawkeye" or other film projects, and noted that his recovery was going quite well. However, that willingness clearly didn't extend to the casting outcome for "Doomsday," as he himself confirmed this time.
What Is His Attitude Toward the "Endgame" Re-release?
Despite being confirmed absent from the new film, Renner expressed a sense of anticipation when discussing the upcoming re-release of 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," showing that he still holds a certain emotional connection to the franchise. The actual regions and showtimes for the re-release should be confirmed according to announcements from the distributor.
What Is the Current Status of the Cast and Release Schedule?
"Avengers: Doomsday" is scheduled to release on December 18, and the production team will continue moving forward with promotion without this original member, Renner. His interview response only addressed whether he himself would be appearing, and should not be taken as confirmation of the film's full cast list or story ending.
