Jeremy Renner Says Robert Downey Jr. Kept His Marvel Return a Secret From the Original ‘Avengers’ Cast: ‘The Son of a B—- Didn’t Say Anything!’


Jeremy Renner says Hawkeye will "probably" appear in "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars."

Jeremy Renner recently told US Weekly that he was blindsided by the announcement that Robert Downey Jr. will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Renner’s Hawkeye and Downey’s Iron Man appeared together in several Marvel films dating back to 2012’s “The Avengers.” The two remain close friends, but Downey did not let Renner or any of the original “Avengers” actors (Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson) know he was coming back to the MCU as the villain Doctor Doom. Renner told Entertainment Tonight earlier this year that his physical therapy was getting him healthy enough to play Hawkeye again.
