Jeremy Renner is one of the biggest movie stars in the world, and although his time in Mayor of Kingstown may be coming to an end, that isn’t stopping him from signing on for new projects. Renner has played Mike McClusky for over five years now, since the first season of the Taylor Sheridan-written show first aired on Paramount Plus back in 2021, but he’s finally set to wrap up his time in the show early next year. Paramount recently announced that the fifth and final season of Mayor of Kingstown will hit streaming on January 15. The show has seen plenty of other big stars come and go in the last few years, but the biggest incoming figure to close things out alongside Renner has been Edie Falco, who is best known for her role in The Sopranos.

Over the years, Jeremy Renner has also nailed down other roles that have contributed greatly to his stardom. One of said roles is Hawkeye, who he’s been playing in the MCU for years now. He also had brief stints in the Mission: Impossible and Jason Bourne franchise, and while he’s yet to suit up in a John Wick movie or TV show, he’s found a role similar enough to Keanu Reeves’ hit action franchise. News broke this afternoon that Renner will star in his first original action movie in seven years, 12 Bullets. John Wick producer Thunder Road is already on board with the project, which will see Renner do battle with London crime gangs. Renner will play the main character, who is armed with only 12 bullets, where he must make every shot count. No director is on board the project yet, and there’s no word on when it will be released.

Will Jeremy Renner Ever Play Hawkeye Again?

Jeremy Renner’s future as Hawkeye is up in the air right now, but it would be surprising to see both Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars come and go and him not show up in some capacity. There’s a running joke among Marvel fans that the Avengers only win battles with Hawkeye there, and with him not scheduled to show up in Doomsday, it’s likely Doctor Doom will come out on top. He could be just what the Avengers need in Secret Wars.
