Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye Will Not Be In ANT-MAN AND THE WASP, According To Director Peyton Reed

It was rumored earlier this week that Jeremy Renner had to bow out of Mission: Impossible 6 because of commitments to Ant-Man and the Wasp, but according to Peyton Reed, that's "fake news."

A major Marvel casting rumor started to pick up some steam earlier this week when it was reported that 2x Academy Award-nominee Jeremy Renner might be reprising his role as Hawkeye in Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp, but it's been two days since and that rumor has now been thoroughly debunked.

Director Peyton Reed took to Twitter this morning to finally put a definitive end to all the rumors and speculation by calling the recent reports "Fake News," effectively confirming that Scott Lang's Avenger teammate will not be making an appearance in the upcoming sequel to 2015's Ant-Man.  

Check out his tweet below:


With Ant-Man and the Wasp now ruled out, it seems as though Renner's upcoming Marvel shooting schedule will only include the currently filming two-part Avengers: Infinity War/Avengers 4, which are due out in theaters May 2018 and May 2019, respectively. The lengthy schedule is expected to keep Renner occupied for the better part of the year, but there's bound to be some downtime this summer, so could that result in a return for William Brandt in Mission: Impossible 6? Only time will tell.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

That's disappointing. Hopefully he shows up somewhere leading up to IW, he will elevate any movie he is in.

This is why rumors cannot be inherently trusted.

Starring Superman and Haweye, looking forward to this Mission Impossible, a series that hasn't let me down, I even like number 2.

Remember after seeing MOS as a family and my sister not liking the fact that Superman shaved his beard/stubble prior to donning the suit. She likes facial hair on men.

@SimplyAz - Twas a pretty weak and scraggly beard though. Affleck's beard in the Aquaman scenes in the first trailer is a real beard.

Man no love for Hawkeye.....I really did not like his character a whole lot in the MCU......but after AOU I really liked how they showed him and his family etc.....it was great.

@JoeMomma29 - I wonder if Marvel Cinematic Universe has the balls to kill his family like they did in the comics?

@WruceBayne - NOPE!!!!! And not because of who is running Marvel Studios.....but because of Disney. Sorry but Disney will not go that far.....and yes they call all the shots at the end of the day.

@WruceBayne - at the risk of being horribly cruel, I thought that right away after AOU...to kill them off and send a despondent Hawkeye out, ending up in a building in NY and kicking off the MCU version of the Matt Fraction run! now THAT would be a great Netflix show.
