Jeremy Renner teases Hawkeye return amid Avengers: Doomsday speculation

Actor Jeremy Renner has sparked intense speculation regarding a potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) following a cryptic Instagram post. The post, which featured a close-up of his Hawkeye costume accompanied by the character's theme music, comes amid reports that Disney is conducting additional photography for 'Avengers: Doomsday'.

While Renner previously stated in October 2025 that he was not slated for the upcoming Avengers films, his recent social media activity has led fans to believe he may appear in a cameo capacity. This speculation is bolstered by reports that current production is being used to add various high-profile cameos to the film.

Separately, Renner has been confirmed to reprise his role as Clint Barton for a new theme park attraction, 'Avengers Infinity Defense', at Disney California Adventure, scheduled to open in 2028. This attraction will feature several MCU veterans, including Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, and Robert Downey Jr.
