According to Deadline, Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) made his first appearance on the red carpet since his snowplow accident. He appeared during the premiere of the Disney+ series Rennervations, a series that will follow the actor giving back to different communities around the world. The show was completed before Renner’s sudden accident back in January. During the event, Renner was seen walking with a cane as he chatted with reporters who were told to avoid the topic of his health.

During an interview Renner told Deadline, “Working on this show is not work, it’s always a lot of fun, good laughter and really good causes. It really actually moves the needle a lot for people and it certainly moves the needle a lot for me in my life.”

According to Deadline, the upcoming series ‘’means the world’’ to Renner as he works to give kids opportunities so they could be inspired. 

Below are Twitter posts showing the interview with Deadline.

He continued to tell Deadline, “It’s a wonderful blessing to be united in beliefs and thoughts and actionability with others. To do things with kids and give them the opportunities. I’ve always been a big mouthpiece for kids and they deserve the opportunities. I think it alleviates the issues that kids get in trouble with later in life. Kids need to be inspired [and] need the opportunities to be inspired. They don’t always have the environment to have that and it frustrates the hell out of me. Kids are the best dreamers on the planet.”

According to Deadline, after the premiere, Renner received a standing ovation during a panel hosted by Jimmy Kimmel (Jimmy Kimmel Live!)which featured other members of the cast. During the panel, Kimmel asked Renner if he had any plans for the snowcat that ran him over.

Renner stated, “It’s a necessity on the property. Mom wants to light it on fire and have a big ol’ party. The thing is amazing. I love this thing. I just have to learn how to drive it better.”

Renner has made great progress in his recovery following the near-death experience.
