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.
"They asked me to do Season 2, and they offered me half the money," Renner tells The High Performance Podcast. "I'm like, 'Well, it's going to take me twice the amount of work for half the amount of money, and eight months of my time, essentially, to do it for half the amount'."
