1. Hollywood Rule#1 – You have no real friends in Hollywood…

2. Renner:
   > “No! I had no idea. The son of a bitch didn’t say anything to me, We’re good friends. There’s the Avengers family chat. The original six. He said not a peep. I got online and started blowing up his phone like, ‘What’s going on? You’ve been hiding this from us the whole time?’ It’s exciting news. I’m really, really excited about it.”

   Renner on returning as Hawkeye to face Downey as Doctor Doom:
   > “You got Downey back in the mix, you got the Russo Brothers back in the mix. This is a direction where Marvel is going to do well,. The Avengers movies have always been fan favourites and there’s so many wonderful characters in them. It’s going to be challenging to get everyone together. But I am excited about it. We’ll see. I think we’ll probably be doing it. It’s all brand new. They just made the announcement. They got to start figuring it out.”

3. Anybody else love that these actors are such good friends that there’s an “Avengers Family Chat”?

4. He literally said on Stern a few years ago that he would be returning

5. Even In Doom, I’m the Hero. It was foreshadowed

6. wait this is actually real? no twist or anything? just bring back the most sucessful actor to reinvigorate a dying franchise? i thought it was a joke

7. Is this comic book canon or what? Why is he so special/exciting if no canon?

8. So phase 4 bombed so fucking hard that they had no choice but to bring back the og marvel actors to try to save it? Why not just try writing good characters and stories again? Instead of the drivel we got after Wandavision and Loki.

9. Please just let this superhero shit go already. Every damn movie is the same shit just dressed up in different clothes and in this case that’s exactly what this reveal tells us. I mean damn he came out pulled the mask off and put on not the same but very similar pair of sunglasses to the style he wore for Tony. like damn don’t you want to distance yourself from a previous roll if you are going to be playing a new one in the same franchise; blend in to the new roll you know… Nope but let’s cheer for marvel they got RDJ back hooray… piss off Disney you gave the fans the middle finger for years and for that in my eyes everyone at Disney and marvel studios can kindly pick a direction and fuck off in it I’m done wasting money on their watered down dribble

10. Maybe because it’s a last minute hail Mary throw thinking RDJ was the main reason Marvel is shitting the bed and NOT due to the over saturation and piss poor writing.

11. I hope this shit bombs and super hero movies go away for a bit.

12. can’t believe they couldn’t even manage a single avengers movie before bringing him back. like, not even one movie.

13. I don’t think he will be Doom at all. I think this is all a clever ruse.

14. They run out of actors in Hollywood or what?

15. No offense intended to the actors but man am I so over these superhero products. Boring and banal.
