Jeremy Renner might be soft-launching his Marvel Cinematic Universe comeback, at least, that is what fans are wondering. The Hawkeye star shared two throwback photos with his original Avengers co-stars, prompting fans to wonder whether the nostalgic trip comes with a bigger Marvel surprise.
On Thursday, October 8, the actor and author took to Instagram to share two photographs alongside fellow Avengers stars Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans. "We have always had something to celebrate throughout the years....The good and the bad," the Mayor of Kingstown actor began in his emotional social media post.
"A Throwback today to celebrate all of the fans that forged these friendships, a shared life, and now the biggest movie of all time," he continued, addressing his massive global fan base. "Thank you all for sharing this with us !!
We love you," he added before concluding the heartfelt caption with three red heart emojis. While the celebratory post came after Avengers: Endgame Encore broke multiple box office records, reclaiming the title of the highest-grossing film of all time, fresh speculation about Renner is potential return as Hawkeye in Avengers: Doomsday began to swirl.
Fans immediately took to the comments section to express their excitement and analyze whether the reunion post holds any deeper meaning for the future of the franchise. Renner has been focusing on his recovery and other projects following his severe snowplow accident, making any potential return to the superhero genre a monumental moment for his supporters.
Marvel Studios has not yet officially confirmed any casting details regarding his appearance in upcoming ensemble films, keeping anticipation at an all-time high across social media platforms. As the cinematic universe continues to expand with new phases, the original cast remains a vital part of the franchise rich history and its dedicated global following.
