Hawkeye is set to premiere on Disney+ tomorrow, and star Jeremy Renner has been doing the press rounds to promote Marvel Studios' latest MCU-set miniseries. The actor was asked about his last appearance as Clint Barton in Avengers: Endgame during an interview with BBC Radio, and his response might surprise you.
Renner revealed that he's actually only seen the movie once, and says he'll never watch it again - but not because he didn't like it!
Endgame marked the conclusion of the franchise's Infinity Saga, and featured several highly emotional moments. In one of the film's most heartbreaking scenes, Barton was forced to watch his friend and teammate Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johannsson) make the ultimate sacrifice so that he could acquire the Soul Stone and undo Thanos' universe-altering decimation.
"I saw it at the premiere, but that was just something to celebrate for all of us.," Renner said, suggesting that seeing the film was an emotional rollercoaster for the entire cast. "We were laughing and weeping and it was a lot to do. I’ll never watch that again... it was a difficult experience. We were all just a sobbing mess and we’re laughing. It’s amazing, we were like audience members and that was awesome to experience. I mean, that was a lovely, beautiful experience to share."
Hawkeye will address Barton's guilt over Black Widow's death while bringing him face-to-face with Nat's vengeance-driven sister, Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh). So, Renner may find it just as difficult to re-watch this show once the six-episode season reaches its conclusion!
