Jeremy Renner revealed that he left the 'Mission Impossible' franchise to focus on raising his daughter Ava. The actor starred in two installments of the hit film series.
Jeremy Renner revealed that he chose his family over his career when he left the 'Mission Impossible' franchise. His character, IMF agent William Brandt, was introduced in the spy franchise's fourth film, 2011's 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.' He reprised his role in the fifth installment, 2015's 'Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.' He did not return for the subsequent movies, and now he is explaining that he left the franchise for his daughter.
Renner remembered that his inner circle warned him that he could be fired from the MCU, but he stood his ground. 'I said, ‘Fine, recast me. I’m going to be here with my daughter.’ It was pretty gnarly,'' he told the outlet. Ultimately, the actor and Marvel were able to reach an agreement, and Renner retained his role as Hawkeye. Moving forward, Renner ensured that he would be able to visit Ava or have her come to see him every weekend while filming a project.
Acting and everything else goes out the window,' Renner said. 'Until my daughter says, ‘I want to hang out with my friends, and I don’t want to be around you so much, Daddy.’' Renner returned to work earlier this year after suffering traumatic injuries during a near-fatal snowplow accident in January 2023.
Happy 10th Birthday to you!!!! So very proud of you in every way. Your hugs and your love, have healed me so incredibly fast,' he wrote on a photo of himself with Ava that he shared on his Instagram Story. 'I stand up for you, and I am stronger than before because of you,' Renner continued. 'I am your Father, I am your protector, and I am only yours. I love you, Daddy.'
