While Jeremy Renner awaits a call to play Hawkeye again in the MCU, he assured the crowd during his appearance at Phoenix Fan Fusion, "I'm gonna continue working."
"I know I'm going back to do 'Mayor of Kingstown' as soon as these legs are healthy and my whole body is strong enough to stand all day long," Renner said of the upcoming third season of the Paramount+ series. "I tried doing photos with some of you guys today, and I had to start sitting down in a chair. I realized I couldn't stand for a couple of hours, so that's very telling of me and my physical health — how far I still have to work this summer to get back to filming on camera ... because those are 18-hour days."
In "Mayor of Kingstown," Renner stars as Mike McLuskey, a powerbroker who tries to keep the peace of guards and inmates behind bars in the prison town and the people of the municipality where incarceration is the only thriving industry. While the action in "Mayor of Kingstown" is physically intense, the series is more grounded in reality and at least appears lighter than the rigorous duties of acting in a superhero project.
