Jeremy Renner, who’s famous for his role as Clint Barton aka Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was reportedly fed up with playing the character in the first team-up spectacle,The Avengers(2012.)
According to a 2016 coverage from Radio Times, Jeremy Renner attended a film and comic con event in London where he elaborated on his pain working in the $1.5 billion film as a mindless minion for the most part.
