HAWKEYE Star Jeremy Renner’s Recovery Could Take Years As Sources Reveal The Extent Of His Injuries

Although Jeremy Renner has been providing updates on his recovery following his serious snowplow accident, new details from sources close to the actor have described his condition as "much worse."

Jeremy Renner was finally able to leave the hospital and go home this week following his serious snowplow accident, but it sounds like the Marvel star will have a long road of recovery ahead of him – potentially sidelining him for years.

Renner, who plays Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had to undergo emergency surgery after suffering life-threatening injuries when he was accidentally run-over by his own snowplow on New Year’s Day. Details about the actor’s injuries have been vague, with reports that he suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries. 

Thankfully, the surgeries have been successful thus far and Renner has been taking to social media to provide updates on his status. The updates have been uplifting, for sure, but new details have emerged that paint a much more bleak picture of the actor’s current condition.

Celebrity gossip website Radar Online exclusively reports that close friends of Renner describe the actor’s condition as “much worse than anyone knows.”

Going into more detail, the source told the website, “The right side of Jeremy’s chest was crushed, and his upper torso had collapsed. He also had a bad head wound that was bleeding and a leg injury.”

“Jeremy was in a lot of pain, and was having difficulty breathing,” the source added.

Meanwhile, another insider said Renner has a long road ahead of him, and that it could take as long as two years before he’s back in fighting shape. "Word is the damage to Jeremy’s chest was so substantial it had to be reconstructed in surgery,” the source said.

Although Marvel was seemingly on its way to phasing out Renner’s Hawkeye, or at least reducing his role in the MCU, he still played a mentor to Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop and figured to have at least some role in future Marvel projects. A two-year recovery would sideline Renner until possibly 2025 at the earliest, which puts his availability for filming into question as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is set to release in May 2025.

Of course, these movie worries come second to Jeremy Renner’s health. Given the extent of the injuries reported, it sounds like he’s lucky to even be alive right now.

Renner has so far had two surgeries and "will likely require more in the weeks ahead on his leg," said a source. "Doctors tend to space out operations to allow time for the body’s natural healing process to kick in, and that’s the case here.”

Hopefully, any remaining surgeries go smoothly and he makes a full recovery.

His role will probably be reduced to just him in a wheelchair at some desk as a radio operator helping his team through an ear piece.

Not that it matters because his health is what’s important, but if he wants to be involved, I’m sure they’ll find a way to include him in a reduced capacity.

His well-being must always come first and foremost. Hope he and his family the absolute best.

I don’t know what to say so I’m just going to let someone who always knows what to say. Say something:

All my ladies in the place to be, gettin' money while they next to me, lemme
see, Lemme here you say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP), say "fire it up" (FIRE IT
UP)

All my people just wave your hands, gettin' money all across the land, one time
Lemme here you say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP), say "fire it up" (FIRE IT UP)
C´mon

Stay strong, Hawk Guy

I think the fact that he was moved to his home to continue to recover is a really good and positive sign. He of course will have a long road to recovery ahead of him, but Renner survived something that should have killed him, and he has exceeded progress in the hospital. What I'm saying is that its premature to make a statement throwing out a specific number like 2 years about how long he will be out.

Man, best wishes to him, regardless of what his "real" condition is. He seems like a really great guy in real life and in case y'all weren't aware he actually has a very successful career outside of acting remodeling upper-end houses (I'm guessing in his Lake Tahoe area) and is a pretty hands-on-guy.

I've had some pretty seriously injuries in my life (i.e accidentally stuck my hand into a deep fryer when I was in high school working at a fast food restaurant which resulted in 3rd degree+ burns on that hand and then a little later accidentally sawed of the thumb (mostly) on that same hand with a table saw (turns out those safety guard are there for a reason), etc. - in case anyone's wondering, I'm fine although I can't feel pain in that thumb which made for some entertaining moments when I was in college, but I digress).

But nothing that I've ever been through sounds nearly as bad as what Jeremy is going through. Seriously, if the reports are to believed and he comes out of this anywhere near "as good as new" then I think that he should officially get the title of the "Strongest Avenger".

Given the nature of his accident it does sound like his recovery will take time, but I never believe reports that start with... "Celebrity gossip website Radar Online exclusively reports that close friends of Renner describe the actor’s condition".

Usually when gossip or tabloid outlets state "a close friend of [insert actor here] says..." it usually means they've made sh*t up.
