By Felo News Desk · Published
Jeremy Renner confirmed at Comic Con Liverpool that he will not appear in Marvel Studios’ upcoming Avengers crossover, "Avengers: Doomsday," joking that the team will probably lose without Hawkeye.
What happened
Renner, who has played Clint Barton/Hawkeye since 2011, said the studio did not invite him to the new film. He added, "They didn’t call me, so it’s their fault they’re gonna lose," while laughing. The actor also expressed excitement about the re‑release of Avengers: Endgame, which opened with an estimated $86 million worldwide and added $126 million to its lifetime gross, bringing the total to roughly $2.925 billion.
What the reports add
The Independent noted that the re‑release includes four minutes of new footage, featuring Tom Hiddleston’s Loki meeting Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), plus a post‑credit scene introducing Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. The article also mentioned Renner’s past salary dispute over the second season of the Disney+ series Hawkeye, where he was offered half his previous pay.
What was said
Renner told the crowd, "Doomsday, I’m not in, so the Avengers will probably lose, just so you know." He also said he is "actually excited" to take his daughter to see the re‑released Endgame.
How it came about
Renner’s comments follow a 2025 podcast where he referenced a near‑fatal snowmobile accident that left him with more than 30 broken bones. The actor has previously voiced Hawkeye in Black Widow (2021) and returned to the role in the Disney+ series. The upcoming film will bring together characters from the X‑Men, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts and Wakanda, and will feature Doctor Doom portrayed by Robert Downey Jr.
