Jeremy Renner Confirms Hawkeye Season 2 Is Happening: What Can Fans Expect from the Return?

Did Jeremy Renner Just Confirm Hawkeye Season 2?

After months of speculation, Jeremy Renner may have finally confirmed what fans have been hoping for — Hawkeye Season 2 is happening. In a new interview with The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast, Renner said:

“We got to where we’re trying to do the second season. And I think I’ll get strong enough to be able to do it. And we’ll work it out. It’s gonna be great.”

While Marvel hasn’t made an official announcement yet, Renner’s use of “gonna be” strongly suggests the show’s return is more than just a possibility.

Why Was Hawkeye Season 2 in Doubt?

Earlier reports indicated that a second season of Hawkeye was on shaky ground due to contract negotiations between Renner and Marvel Studios. The actor had previously said he received an “insult offer” and hinted he might not return.

However, in late September, Renner softened his stance, telling interviewers he’d be “happy to do Season 2 of Hawkeye” and would “always dance with Marvel if given the chance.”

This shift in tone, combined with his recent comments, makes it clear that the Hawkeye star — who survived a near-fatal snowplow accident in 2023 — is ready to step back into action once again.

What Could Hawkeye Season 2 Be About?

The first season of Hawkeye ended with a symbolic torch-passing moment from Clint Barton (Renner) to Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld). That finale hinted that Kate could take on a more central role in the future — potentially even becoming the new “Hawkeye.”

If Season 2 moves forward, it’s likely to explore their evolving mentor-protégé dynamic, possibly flipping the roles so that Kate leads the mission while Clint takes a supporting role.

Renner has expressed interest in continuing the show’s signature holiday spirit, suggesting another Christmas-themed adventure could be on the cards. The idea of combining festive chaos with superhero stakes made the first season one of Marvel’s most grounded and beloved series.

When Will Hawkeye Season 2 Release?

Although no release date has been set, Renner’s comments indicate that planning is underway and Marvel is “working it out.” With Daredevil: Born Again and Wonder Man already in the production pipeline, Hawkeye Season 2 could potentially begin filming in late 2025, aiming for a 2026 release window.

Whenever it arrives, Hawkeye Season 2 seems poised to reunite fans with one of Marvel’s most human heroes — this time, stronger and more determined than ever.
