Jeremy Renner Says Hawkeye Is Not in Avengers: Doomsday

Jeremy Renner says he will not appear as Hawkeye in Avengers: Doomsday, due in theaters on December 18, 2026.

The film is about the Avengers facing Doctor Doom, who is seeking to conquer the multiverse.

Renner joked that the team would probably lose because they did not call him.

He has played Clint Barton, also known as Hawkeye, since the character appeared in Thor in 2011.

Hawkeye has not joined every Avengers battle, but he helped the heroes in Avengers: Endgame, when they won against their enemies.

Renner's absence means one familiar hero will not be part of the Doomsday team, though the film's outcome is not known.

His future as Hawkeye remains unclear, and it is not known whether he will appear in Avengers: Secret Wars, planned for 2027.
