Thescreescore – A recent social media update from Jeremy Renner has sent the Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom into a frenzy, sparking intense speculation about the potential return of his beloved character, Hawkeye, to the silver screen. The actor, known for portraying Clint Barton, shared a mysterious image on Instagram, hinting at a much-anticipated comeback in the franchise’s upcoming tentpole films, Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars.
The image in question, shared by the actor, offered a tantalizing close-up of Clint Barton’s distinctive costume, a visual cue instantly recognizable to millions of MCU enthusiasts. This intriguing post arrives amidst news that Renner is already slated to reprise his role as the master archer for a new attraction at Disney California Adventure.
During the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23 2026, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige officially confirmed Renner’s involvement in "Avengers Infinity Defense." This ambitious new ride, one of two additions to the Avengers Campus, is set to open its gates in 2028. Guests will embark on an epic journey through iconic MCU locales such as Asgard, Wakanda, and New York City, joining forces against the formidable King Thanos. Renner will be in esteemed company, with fellow MCU veterans Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) also confirmed to appear. Iman Vellani, as Ms. Marvel, will greet visitors before they dive into the attraction’s immersive experience, which promises a blend of colossal sets and dynamic sequences.

Despite the excitement surrounding his theme park return, Renner’s cinematic future within the MCU remains officially unconfirmed for the next two Avengers installments. As of October 2025, the actor himself stated he was not scheduled to appear in either Doomsday or Secret Wars, and Disney’s current cast lists for these films do not include him. However, the history of the MCU is replete with instances where actors have famously denied their involvement in projects, only to make surprise appearances – a notable example being Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s repeated denials regarding Spider-Man: No Way Home. This precedent lends a sliver of hope to fans eager to see Hawkeye rejoin the cinematic fray, though such reports should always be approached with a healthy dose of skepticism.
While Renner’s status in the overarching narrative of the MCU’s next phases remains ambiguous, audiences can still anticipate a star-studded ensemble for Avengers: Doomsday. The confirmed roster boasts an impressive lineup of returning and new faces, including Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Ian McKellen as Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, James Marsden as Scott Summers/Cyclops, and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier/Professor X, among many others.
Avengers: Doomsday is slated for a theatrical release on December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars following on December 17, 2027. The question of whether Hawkeye will draw his bow in these monumental events continues to fuel fervent discussions across thescreescore.com and beyond.
