Fans speculate on Hawkeye’s return after Jeremy Renner’s Instagram Story
Jeremy Renner stirred the pot on Instagram with a Hawkeye tease, sparking chatter that Clint Barton might be back for Marvel’s next Avengers films.
The Instagram Story was simple: a clear look at a purple-and-black Hawkeye suit—the same design fans spotted in the Disney+ series—sitting ready to wear. No caption, no context. Coming as Marvel ’s next big-team movie inches closer, the image was enough to light up timelines with theories that Jeremy Renner might be suiting up again as Clint Barton.
Renner posted an Instagram Story of his Hawkeye costume.
Because the shot came without details, fans split on what it means. Some read it as a quiet nod toward an Avengers return; others floated a more mundane explanation, like a pull from wardrobe for a brand tie-in or theme park project rather than a film set.
Why the tease hits
Renner hasn’t turned up in the Multiverse Saga since headlining Hawkeye on Disney+, which also introduced Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop. A second season has been talked about but never announced; producer Andrew Guest has said Marvel kicked around ideas for more episodes, but timing got in the way.
There’s still no official word that Renner will appear in the next two tentpoles—often referred to as Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The Instagram suit sighting, plus chatter about an Avengers-themed Disney attraction Renner is involved with, has kept speculation spinning without offering hard proof.
The Doomsday chatter
As for who might assemble in Doomsday, reports and online buzz have pointed to a stacked roster. None of this has been fully confirmed by Marvel, but the names circulating include:
- Robert Downey Jr. — reportedly linked to Doctor Doom
- Chris Evans — Captain America
- Chris Hemsworth — Thor
- Mark Ruffalo — Hulk
- Scarlett Johansson — presence via archival footage
- Patrick Stewart — Professor X
- Ian McKellen — Magneto
- Letitia Wright — Shuri
- Winston Duke — M’Baku
- Simu Liu — Shang-Chi
- Pedro Pascal — from Fantastic Four
Tom Holland remains a question mark; fans have tied possible involvement to a post-credits tag from a recent Spider- Man chapter dubbed “Brand New Day, ” but neither Marvel nor Sony has announced him for Doomsday.
For now, Renner’s Story is just that—a tease. Marvel hasn’t announced his next MCU appearance.
