    “This is not Marvel, mind you. This is like, just Disney, not even really Disney. It’s just the penny pinchers, the accountants. I told them to go fly a kite. I mean, just at the at the insult offer. So we didn’t see eye to eye on it,” Renner continued, adding that he’s not ruling out a return to “Hawkeye” in the future. “Sadly, I still love the character. I’d still love to do it, but I I had to defend myself. I didn’t ask for any more money, mind you. Just pay me what I made made the first season. So it’s all disheartening that that didn’t happen, but that’s fine. I’m happy to let that go, because my body’s probably thanking me, time and time again, that I’m not doing it right now. But we’ll see.”

    Wow. Turning it down is one thing, airing it out for everyone to see is another. Idk how he thinks he sounds, but it is not good. As others pointed out it’s probably half the work because he is not going to be the main focus. On top of that what are we even talking about here? It’s still gotta be millions! I get your worth is your worth, but to everyone looking in, turning down a job that would set any normal person up for retirement for probably 6 months worth of work is also nuts.

    Honestly, on top of all that, wouldn’t you want to stay somewhat relevant? A look at his recent work, and it’s just glass onion from 2022 and another follow-up movie this year and 1 episode of Echo.
