Jeremy Renner ’s return as Clint Barton in Hawkeye was one of the more grounded highlights of Marvel’s Disney+ era. The first season was equal parts holiday adventure and character sendoff, but it was never officially billed as the end for Renner’s Hawkeye.

Jeremy Renner won't be returning for Hawkeye season 2, and according to the actor, his decision all comes down to money - specifically, it comes down to being offered half of his season 1 salary in exchange for even more work.

Jeremy Renner said "penny pinchers" made him an "insult offer" during negotiations for "Hawkeye" season two, after his snowplow accident.
