"Hawkeye" Second Season Snub: Jeremy Renner Bails Due to Low Pay, Citing Post-Accident Discount
- Let's get real, shall we?
Actor Jeremy Renner declined an offer due to insufficient wage following his accident - Insufficient compensation following an accident.
If you haven't been keeping tabs on Hollywood insider news, here's a scoop: Jeremy Renner is reportedly disgruntled over the pay cut offer for the second season of "Hawkeye." The 54-year-old actor, best known for his roles in "Arrival" and "The Hurt Locker," claimed he was asked to work for half the money he initially earned, stating, "Why? Did you think I'm only half the Jeremy because I was run over? Is that why you're offering half?"
In case you've been living under a rock, our beloved Hawkeye was run over by a snowplow roughly two years back, shattering over 30 of his bones. Yikes!
So, the question on everyone's mind: What does this mean for the potential second season? Well, it seems Renner was hesitant to agree due to the hardship of "twice the work for half the pay." Apparently, the parties couldn't see eye-to-eye on a suitable compensation.
"I love the character," Renner shared, but he also acknowledged, "I'm glad to leave it behind, because my body probably thanks me for not doing it now."
