‘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.

MCU “Kang the Conqueror” Actor Jonathan Majors Dropped by Talent Manager Amid Domestic Violence Allegations

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+, Uncategorized

MCU “Kang the Conqueror” Actor Jonathan Majors has been dropped by his management team, Entertainment 360, after domestic violence allegations.

Majors has been in some hot water lately after making headlines three weeks ago when he was arrested in New York City on domestic violence charges. Majors’ representatives originally denied the allegations, but have since begun to distance themselves from the Marvel actor.

Prior to his arrest, PR firm The Lede Company also initiated a break with Majors and fashion company Valentino has announced that Majors would not be invited to the Met Gala this year.

Jonathan Major has already shot the second season of the Disney + series “Loki” where he reprises his role as Kang the Conqueror. He is also set to reprise his role as Kang the Conqueror in “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” but that won’t begin filming for a while. At this time Disney and Marvel have not dropped Majors from the MCU or commented publicly on the allegations he faces.

Currently starring in “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”, Johnathan Majors was arrested in New York City over the weekend for assaulting a woman, according to TMZ.

“Law enforcement sources tell us the actor was booked Saturday morning on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment. We’re told cops responded to a call for service around 11 AM ET near the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

We’re told the alleged victim in this case, a female, relayed to police that Majors had gotten into a dispute with her and proceeded to attack her. Their exact relationship is unknown.

Our sources tell us the alleged victim had visible injuries — including a laceration behind her ear, redness and marks to her face. She was taken to an area hospital and is in stable condition. As for Majors … he was cuffed and taken to jail on the spot, as police felt there was enough evidence for probable cause. We’re hearing he is currently out of custody.“TMZ

He is expected to appear before a judge on May 8 as he faces multiple counts of harassment and assault. Evidence, including video footage and witness testimony, allegedly points to Majors, a rising star within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old woman. The woman was taken to the hospital to be treated for minor head and neck injuries.

Major’s criminal defense attorney Priya Chaudhry made a statement to Deadline:

“Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows…We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently.”

The criminal defense attorney added that the “evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations.”

Major’s attorney also released a set of text messages to the press. They were redacted to protect the woman’s identity, in which she takes blame for the fight:

“Please let me know you’re okay when you get this. They assured me that you won’t be charged. They said they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight. I’m so angry that they did. And I’m sorry you’re in this position. Will make sure nothing happens about this. I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone. I only just got out of the hospital. Just call me when you’re out. I love you.”

At this time, Majors still remains represented by WME.

Jeremy Renner Home After Horrific Accident That Crushed His Leg

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

More than two weeks ago, Marvel star Jeremy Renner was airlifted to a hospital near Reno, Nevada, after being injured in a snow plow accident near his home. He was admitted to the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit and listed in “critical but stable” condition. We soon learned that Renner had been run over by a large snow plow he owned while trying to help a neighbor. Thankfully, another neighbor of Renner’s was a doctor and was able to help treat Renner’s wound while they waited for medical help to arrive.

Thankfully, Renner is on the mend and has made his way back to the home he loves so much. Renner was speaking about his hit show, Mayor of Kingstown, when he revealed that he was finally home.

Outside my brain fog in recovery, I was very excited to watch episode 201 with my family at home 🙏❤️🙏

The Hawkeye and Avengers star kept Guests updated as he spent a lot of time in the hospital getting better. According to reports, it wasn’t just Renner’s leg that was injured in the accident. He was also treated for blunt chest trauma. The machine that he was run over weighs more than 14,000 pounds, so his leg suffered extensive damage. Renner’s family was by his side the entire time, and he even shared videos of them on social media helping take care of him in the ICU.

At this time, we don’t know just how bad Renner’s injuries are. Reports had indicated that they were so bad he may never be back to 100%, but Renner has not said anything in regard to that. We do know that the doctors were able to save his leg, and he will most likely start intensive physical therapy once he is deemed healed enough to do so.

Renner and his medical team have also not said if any further surgeries will be needed to help fix his severely injured leg. Renner’s Marvel Cinematic Universe family has constantly been sending their support to the Hawkeye star since his first day in the hospital.

Jeremy Renner Shares First Video For Fans After Horrific Accident

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

Last week, Marvel star Jeremy Renner — who plays Hawkeye in a number of films and shows in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — was involved in a horrible accident while snowplowing at his home near Reno, Nevada. According to reports, Mr. Renner was using a large, professional snowplow and something happened, and the snowplow — which weighs more than 14,000 pounds — ran over his leg. Renner lost a massive amount of blood and was airlifted to a hospital, where he was listed in “critical but stable” condition.

Just days after Renner was admitted to the hospital, it was also reported that, in addition to the extensive damage to his leg, Mr. Renner had also suffered “blunt chest trauma.” Thankfully, it appears that the actor is doing well and on the mend. On January 3, Renner gave fans a look at some of his injuries and thanked them for their support, but admitted that he was “messed up” in an Instagram post.

Thank you all for your kind words. 🙏. Im too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.

From the time Renner was admitted to the hospital, his family has been by his side. And now, Renner appears to be getting better every day, and he has shared a fun video of his sister and mother pretending to pamper him in while he lays in his hospital bed.

A “not no great” ICU DAY, turned to amazing spa day with my sis and mama❤️. Thank you sooooo much

So far, Renner has had two surgeries to repair some of the extensive damage he suffered from the snowplow accident. While Renner remains in the ICU — Intensive Care Unit — a neighbor of his, who is a doctor, was able to save him from potentially more damage when he applied a tourniquet to Renner’s leg to stop the bleeding.

We do not know how many more surgeries Renner will need to repair his leg or how long he will be in the hospital.

‘Aquaman’ Star Lands Lead MCU Role

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+

An announcement today confirms that a particular Aquaman actor will star in an upcoming MCU series, and it’s not who you might expect.

James Wan’s Aquaman (2018) is considered by most to be a solid super hero movie with tons of action and exploring Atlantis. Unfortunately, other circumstances put a bad light on the movie’s sequel due to Amber Heard’s role in the movie being questioned after her divorced husband, Johnny Depp, lost all of his acting positions.

This led to several petitions against Heard, but she will still appear in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023). Marvel, on the other hand, has finally found their actor to portray Simon Williams/Wonder Man for one of their upcoming Disney+ series. Wonder Man isn’t very well known, but his story mainly revolves around Hollywood, but he did end up being a love interest for Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in the comics.

Marvel might be introducing their king of the oceans, Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, but DC beat Marvel at bringing its own King of the Seven Seas, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, to the big screen in Aquaman (2018). As Arthur Curry learned about his birthright and how to save his people, he faced another villain, Black Manta, played by none other than Abdul Mateen. The actor is also set to reprise his role as Black Manta for the sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023), which is set to release in the spring.

Abdul-Mateen has also been in other DC projects, such as HBO’s Watchmen series, where he played Doctor Manhattan. His take on the character was fascinating as it gave a new twist to Manhattan’s ideology while further expanding Watchmen’s world.

Deadline has announced that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will be in the Wonder Man series as the titular character, Simon Williams/Wonder Man. This is rather surprising after Abdul-Mateen made some interesting comments about his acting with DC as “clown work” while working Aquaman. It also might come as a surprise for other fans as Marvel has blatantly race-swapped another MCU super hero once again.

Wonder Man will be very different from any other MCU project, which might be why Abdul was attracted to it. Wonder Man in the comics was a super hero who made a living as a Hollywood star leaving Marvel Studios to explore a unique side of the universe through television and movies.

Wonder Man ready to use his abilities.

The series shouldn’t be as fourth-wall-breaking as She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, but it will definitely be a must-watch for fans wanting something very different from the usual formulaic MCU. Destin Daniel Cretton will direct an episode of the series before heading over to begin work on Avengers: Kang Dynasty (2025).

On top of this, MCU fan-favorite Ben Kingsley will reprise his role as Trevor Slattery for the series, meaning that fans will get to see another MCU actor potentially team up with Wonder Man. This project will be radically different from other MCU projects, but it does make a fan wonder if Marvel will still throw a traditional CGI villain in at the last moment for a good finale action sequence.

It’s hard to know what Marvel will do with the series, but if Abdul-Mateen joins and doesn’t believe it’s clown work, then the series must be worth the wait for fans. It’s also another instance where Marvel has decided to race-swap the character. Several fans believed that Nathan Fillion would take on the role, but Marvel Studios decided that Abdul-Mateen II was the man to play Wonder Man.

Phase Five is just around the corner, with Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania releasing in theaters on February 17, 2023. Kang the Conqueror will take the spotlight as the MCU delves deep into the Multiverse Saga. Phase Five already has a solid roadmap, including Charlie Cox’s return as Daredevil, Blade, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, The Thunderbolts. The Phase ends with Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool 3 on November 8, 2024.
