Jeremy Renner reportedly made about $15 million for the first season of the Disney+ series Hawkeye , which aired in 2021. This estimate aligns with his highest known Marvel film salary for Avengers: Endgame and reflects his significant role in the series compared to his smaller parts in the Avengers films
. For the potential second season of Hawkeye , Renner revealed that Disney offered him only half of his original season one salary, which would be roughly around $7.5 million if we take the $15 million figure as a baseline. He declined the offer, citing that it would require twice the effort for half the pay, and he suspected the pay cut was related to the severe snowplow accident he suffered in 2023. Renner expressed frustration that the offer seemed to undervalue him because of his injuries
. In summary:
- Estimated salary for Hawkeye Season 1: about $15 million.
- Offered for Hawkeye Season 2: approximately half of Season 1 salary (~$7.5 million).
- Renner turned down the Season 2 offer due to the pay cut and the demanding nature of the work relative to compensation
