‘Avengers’ Actor Tried To Kill His Character With Multiple Heart Attacks

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+, Uncategorized

It’s been over a decade since Marvel Studios released the very first Avengers movie in 2012, but recent happenings shed a morbid light on events from one of the earliest MCU superhero sets. While Disney and Marvel certainly hoped for the success of the comic book turned-film saga, they had no idea the massive popularity it would sustain for years. Being a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe means a big payday for its lead actors, but before the super team hit the big screen for the first time, one of its main members, Jeremy Renner, consistently tried to kill himself off.

Actor Jeremy Renner, known better to Marvel fans as the Avenger Hawkeye, dominated the first news cycles of 2023 after a horrifically traumatic snow plow accident that left him literally shattered. The world was stunned and inspired by his seemingly superhuman ability to stay positive, work hard, and miraculously heal from something that should’ve easily killed him. This tragic incident and his brush with death gave new context to his actions on the Avengers set.

According to FandomWire, Jeremy Renner was actively rooting for his onscreen death as Hawkeye to the point where he would pretend to die while filming…multiple times.

Renner is quoted saying,

I just had a heart attack in every scene – I’d just be walking with… Scarlett Johansson, and just like be ugh. And they said, ‘what are you doing man?’ I’m giving you an option if you just want to kick me out of this movie. Just you know, at any given moment, if you wanna kill me off, daddy’s gonna be having a heart attack.

FandomWire suggests that his constant heart attack pranks were meant to comment on Hawkeye’s lack of character development in the script. While Renner was right about Clint Barton not receiving a ton of character depth in comparison to other Avengers, heart attacks on set may not have been the way to go about it. I mean…poor Scarlet Johansson (Black Widow).

Jeremy Renner’s humor has apparently always been a bit on the darker side, but things may have changed over the past eleven years. Not only did he survive a life-altering accident, but he has gone on to star in a handful of other Marvel Studios features as well as his own Disney+ series, which certainly gave Clint Barton/ Hawkeye the spotlight Renner was looking for.

After Three Smash-Hit Seasons, It’s Time to Say Goodbye To “Bluey”

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+

Millions of children (and their parents) are going to be devastated by this news.

Back in 2018, Bluey, a wholesome Australian animated show, premiered on ABC Kids. Five years later, it is one of the biggest children’s shows in the world.

Bluey is an animated series that has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, becoming a favorite among children and adults alike. Fans in the United States have raced to Disney+ to watch the show. Bluey follows the lives of the Heeler family, which consists of Bluey, her younger sister, Bingo, and their parents, Bandit and Chilli. Each episode of Bluey focuses on extraordinary adventures, imaginative play, and essential conversations that reflect real-life situations. The show has gained a reputation for its relatable and heartwarming portrayal of family life.

Bluey has been slowly dropping episodes of their third season. The second part of the season just landed on Disney+ on July 12. Even with the rest of the episodes coming later this year, fans are very eager to know when season four will begin production. Once fans watch this season’s 50th and final episode, they will be already impatient for more.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Bluey season four is coming as soon as hoped.

In a recent interview with the Courier Mail, Bluey’s executive producer, Daley Pearson, broke the news that is shattering the hearts of fans. When asked on when season four is in the works, Pearson revealed;

“It’s been four or five years and we’ve made 154 episodes. It is kind of unprecedented to do that back-to-back. It was very intense … We are just coming to the end of season three, and trying to think about what’s the best way to make it better… The more we ask ourselves, the longer it will be, which is why I hesitate talking about it too much.”

While it is sad to know that we will have to say goodbye to Bluey for a while, it is good to know that the show’s creative team cares so much about producing quality episodes. This show is truly incredible, and the wait will surely be worth it!

Disney To Change Gears As CEO, Bob Iger, Fears A “Culture War”

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Uncategorized

“I wish Disney would stay out of politics and stick to what they do best.”

A multitude of Disney fans across the country has shared similar sentiments. As Disney has become the primary source of opposition to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, many are pleading that the entertainment giant, The Walt Disney Company, keep its name out of public affairs. The same individuals who take this stance also have attributed many of Disney’s recent film failures and perceived low Park attendance to the company’s “woke” agenda. With some evidence that Disney has no problem being a high voice of influence in socio-political issues and hot-button topics, traditionalists have loudly called for Bob Iger, Disney’s returning CEO, to get back to the basic of what Disney does best, entertainment.

In a recent interview with CNBC, Bob Iger, who recently extended his tenure for two more years after replacing Bob Chapek as Disney’s chief executive officer, sat down with David Faber of ‘Squawk Box.’ As Disney’s fight with Ron DeSantis over the governor’s signing of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act has been a heavy-hitting story, Faber wasted little time bringing up the seeming feud between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Referencing a recent support rally outside the gates at Walt Disney World, Iger was quick to disrupt any idea that he would not address the heated debate around Disney versus DeSantis. Instead, he condemned the actions of the neo-Nazi protest calling them “horrifying.”

However, in the same sentence, Iger added that he did not want The Walt Disney Company drawn into a “culture war.” He also reinforced his desire to avoid any further conflict when asked about Disney’s First Amendment case against DeSantis that was filed in April.

“The last thing I want is for the company to be drawn into any culture wars. I’m not sure that was handled very well.”

As The Walt Disney Company has seen shares down, accompanied by the lowest holiday attendance to Walt Disney World in ten years, as well as multiple failing box office projects; Iger understands the internal issues. He recently noted that Disney would cut back on its overly saturated Marvel content.  Iger also understands that the company’s outspoken approach to social issues may be part of the problem. However, Iger was clear that he is not concerned about Disney, specifically Walt Disney World’s worth in the long run, and that he feels strongly that the company has a First Amendment right to voice its views and opinions, or as some would call it, remains “woke.”

“The product has value.” Iger when discussing the worth of Walt Disney World who recently experienced notable attendance decrease.

Bob Iger

However, Bob Iger’s repetition regarding Disney’s involvement in a culture war is significant. Iger, being the company’s leader (again), is aware of the clear lines drawn in the sand by Disney. As Walt Disney World is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world yet sits in one of most prominent conservative strongholds in the United States, Iger remains careful about their approach to media and entertainment. Intensifying a divide between conservative-thinking families who haven’t boycotted Disney and liberal-based ideology is bad for business. Not only would this continue a downward trend in demand for Disney vacations, but the tension would boil over into the Parks themselves. We’ve potentially already see this with increased violence and adherence for rules.

Bob iger disney

Some would call a shift from boisterous opposition of state legislation, which has led to an escalation in lawsuits, cowardice, while others would call the opposite pandering. Either way, with his fear or worry regarding Disney being drawn into future cultural combat, Iger is unwilling to pick an individual side without considering the other. His fears are warranted as the company becomes more expensive while cost-of-living continues rising. As more and more people can’t afford to visit Walt Disney World, future engagment in an all-out war with Florida’s governor would not serve the best interest of the entertainment company. It’s best to step back, reevaluate, and get back to the basics. Iger’s continued emphasis on avoiding unnecessary conflict with the state of Florida and shedding their “woke” first approach could be a step in that direction for Disney.
