Jeremy Renner Says Robert Downey Jr. Kept His Marvel Return Secret From the Original Avengers
Marvel Studios shocked the world last Saturday when it was revealed that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to play Doctor Doom in both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
As it turns out, it wasn’t just Marvel’s die-hard fans who were surprised and excited by Downey’s reveal.
In a recent interview with US Weekly, Jeremy Renner revealed that Downey even kept his return secret from his Avengers co-stars.

“No! I had no idea. The son of a [gun] didn’t say anything to me,” Renner said. “We’re good friends. There’s the Avengers family chat. The original six. He said not a peep. I got online and started blowing up his phone like, ‘What’s going on? You’ve been hiding this from us the whole time?’ It’s exciting news. I’m really, really excited about it.”
Renner Sounds Excited
With the Russo brothers also back in the fold for the next two Avengers films, Renner says Marvel is in good hands.

“You got Downey back in the mix, you got the Russo Brothers back in the mix. This is a direction where Marvel is going to do well,” Renner said. “The Avengers movies have always been fan favorites and there’s so many wonderful characters in them.
Will Hawkeye Return?
So, will we see the actor suit up as Hawkeye for Avengers: Doomsday?
“It’s going to be challenging to get everyone together. But I am excited about it. We’ll see. I think we’ll probably be doing it. It’s all brand new. They just made the announcement. They got to start figuring it out.”

With Marvel reportedly set to bring 60 characters back for Avengers: Doomsday and Renner now acting again following his near-fatal snowplow accident, it sounds like Hawkeye will be back.
