Jeremy Renner<\/strong>, who plays Clint Barton \/ Hawkeye in the MCU<\/a>, recently reflected on why he thinks Disney \/ Marvel Studios fired Jonathan Majors <\/strong>but retained him. Notably, Majors was cast as Kang the Conqueror \/ He Who Remains in the franchise and appeared in several Marvel projects before the company decided to part ways with him.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Renner says Marvel had big plans for Jonathan Majors\u2019 Kang<\/p>\n

Renner made an appearance on The Breakfast Club and discussed allegations against him and Majors. When Charlamagne tha God asked why Marvel decided to stick with him and \u201cdiscard\u201d Majors, Renner replied, \u201cI don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know enough about Jonathan and his situation to know. I know they had big plans for that character. That\u2019s for sure. Whatever transpired, that sucks. I think due diligence really has to be played out. So, I don\u2019t know enough information to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This prompted the radio host to say, \u201cI mean, it doesn\u2019t seem fair, and how it happened.\u201d He accepted that the situations of the two actors had nothing to do with each other before adding that he was just addressing how Marvel responded. <\/p>\n

Renner subsequently said, \u201cI think there\u2019s a bigger scope to that,\u201d before criticizing what he referred to as \u201ccancel culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2019, Renner\u2019s former wife, Sonni Pacheco, leveled multiple allegations against him, including drug use, threatening to kill her, and firing a gun while their daughter was close by. Renner has denied the allegations several times throughout the years. Meanwhile, in 2024, Majors received a sentence of 52 weeks of counselling and probation for assaulting his former girlfriend.<\/p>\n

Before his firing, Majors appeared in the 2023 MCU feature Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and the Disney+ series Loki. Renner is one of the original Avengers and has been part of the MCU since before the first Avengers film was released. His most recent Marvel appearance was in the 2024 series Echo.<\/p>\n
