Jeremy Renner is revealing why he shot down returning to Disney+ for Hawkeye season two. The actor claims he was only offered half of his original season one salary by “the penny pinchers” at Disney.

In an excerpt posted to TikTok on Thursday, May 1, from an interview that Renner gave to the High Performance app, the actor claimed he was offered “half” of his salary from the first season of the Disney+ series in which he starred as the titular character.

Jeremy Renner said "penny pinchers" made him an "insult offer" during negotiations for "Hawkeye" season two, after his snowplow accident.
