Hawkeye Actor Jeremy Renner Suffered A Nasty Injury While Shooting An AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Stunt
While doing press for his latest movie, Jeremy Renner revealed that he broke both his arms while filming a stunt for Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War. Will this nasty injury hinder future Hawkeye scenes?
While doing press for Taylor Sheridan’s Wind River at a Karlovy Vary Film Festival press conference this morning, Jeremy Renner revealed that he suffered a pair of broken arms while shooting a stunt as Hawkeye for Avengers: Infinity War.
The actor didn't provide any details on the scene in question, but did specify that he fractured his right elbow and his left wrist. “That’s how it goes,” he added. “It’s part of the job.”
As nasty as these injuries sound, according to Renner, they won't get in the way of any Clint Barton scenes moving forward.
“I’m sort of a problem solver, you know. There will be an affect to it, but it won’t stop me from doing things that I need to be doing. I’ll heal fast. I’m doing everything I can to heal faster.
I’m doing a job that isn’t really requiring a ton of stunts: It’s not an action movie, it’s a comedy — it just happens to have a few stunts in it. So I don’t have to beat a whole lot of people up or do anything crazy. So it won’t really affect my job… It affects how I get dressed in the morning. I can’t tie my shoes, but outside of that and everything else I can kind of get by.”
Did he just refer to Infinity War as a comedy? Actually, it's more likely that he's referring to another movie he's filming in Atlanta at the same time as the Marvel sequel, Tag.
Anyway, nice to see he's staying so positive. We wish Renner a speedy recovery.
