Things have been quiet on the "Hawkeye" front in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a long time now. Aside from Hailee Steinfeld cameoing as Kate Bishop at the end of "The Marvels," neither she nor mentor, Clint Barton, have been in the spotlight since "Hawkeye" played to Disney+ subscription-holders in late 2021. Last week, Jermey Renner revealed that he’d turned down making "Hawkeye" Season 2 due to contract disputes, but new details have come to light alleging that there’s a different reason that the second batch of episodes never happened.
Renner stated that the reason he didn’t agree to do "Hawkeye" Season 2 was because he was only offered “half the money” he did for Season 1. However, both The InSneider and Puck are reporting that Disney and Marvel deliberately lowballed him on the offer to ensure Season 2 wouldn't happen at all.
