Renner Says He's Not in Avengers: Doomsday

Jeremy Renner told a Q&A audience he is not part of Avengers: Doomsday, joking the team will probably lose without him.

Jeremy Renner said at a recent Q&A that he is not in Avengers: Doomsday, according to gamesradar.com. The actor, who plays Hawkeye in the Marvel films, joked that the Avengers will probably lose without him because they did not call him.

Renner's comment that he is "not in that one" was interpreted as referring to his part in Avengers: Secret Wars rather than Doomsday. No release details for either film were given.

The cast of Avengers: Doomsday has been only partly revealed. Co-director Anthony Russo said at an Avengers: Endgame Encore Q&A that some of the film's cast has been announced and some has not.

Among the confirmed names for Avengers: Doomsday is Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. Also confirmed are Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, the new Fantastic Four, the Thunderbolts, the Wakandans and most of the original Fox-era X-Men.
