Content overview: “Jeremy Renner Confirms Hawkeye Won't Return in Avengers: Doomsday: What It Means for the M”. Jeremy Renner has officially ruled out a return as Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. The actor, who has played the sharp-shooting Avenger since 2011's Thor, confirmed the news in a recent interview, joking that the team will likely struggle without him. Renner's absence marks another major departure from the original Avengers lineup, following the exits of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson.
Doomsday, slated for release in 2026, is expected to introduce a new roster of heroes, but losing Hawkeye removes one of the few remaining links to the franchise's earliest days. Fans had speculated Renner might return after his recovery from a near-fatal snowplow accident in 2023, but the actor seems focused on other projects.
