Jeremy Renner, best known for portraying Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently opened up about his strong bond with his Avengers co-stars at the Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF). The actor revealed a unique connection he shares with the original cast—a matching tattoo that symbolizes their lifelong friendship.
Matching Tattoos with the Avengers
While speaking at a panel discussion during RSIFF, Renner disclosed that he, along with Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Scarlett Johansson, got matching tattoos to commemorate their bond. The tattoo, which features the A6 symbol, represents the original six Avengers. Renner revealed that the tattoos were placed on different parts of their bodies, adding a personal touch to the shared symbol.
Renner jokingly mentioned that Mark Ruffalo, who plays Hulk in the MCU, opted out of getting the tattoo. Back in 2018, Ruffalo humorously admitted during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that he was still “working up the courage” to get inked.
Reflecting on Avengers Memories
Renner expressed that being a part of the Avengers was “one of the most beautiful experiences” of his life. The role of Clint Barton (Hawkeye) not only elevated his career but also led to meaningful friendships. Renner elaborated on the depth of these relationships, saying:
“Playing Clint Barton and then finding, you know, five of my best friends I got to spend the next 12 years of my life with.”
He further added that the cast shared personal milestones, including “marriages, divorces, and kids,” while navigating the ups and downs of life together. Renner fondly referred to his co-stars as “family,” emphasizing how the Avengers extended beyond the screen.
At RSIFF, Renner discussed his journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and teased fans with updates about his upcoming projects. However, he remained tight-lipped about the possibility of reprising his role as Hawkeye in future Avengers movies. Renner’s last appearance in the MCU was in the 2021 film Black Widow.
The actor also spoke about how his role in the Avengers franchise transformed his career, making him a household name among fans. His portrayal of Hawkeye remains iconic, inspiring younger audiences and solidifying his place in cinematic history.
