Right at the start of 2023, Marvel superstar Jeremy Rener was involved in a horrific snowplow accident that left him in critical condition and caused dozens of injuries. Renner tried to free his nephew’s car from the snow after it got stuck. He used a snow groomer, a huge snow vehicle with treads, to try to remove some of the snow.

The machine ran over Renner after trying to stop him from sliding on the snow. According to a representative, Renner suffered severe blunt chest trauma as well as multiple orthopedic injuries, including eight broken ribs, a broken right shoulder and broken ankles.

The actor was then hospitalized for over two weeks and the healing process took months. This injury shocked the entertainment world and caused great concern in the Marvel community, as Renner plays a significant role in the current Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Jeremy Renner is an icon best known for his role as Hawkeye/Clint Barton in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Renner is one of the original six Avengers, alongside Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain American, Thor and Hulk. Audiences saw all of these heroes stand together in the first Avengers film in 2012, even though Renner played Hawkeye for the first time Thor (2011).

Renner also landed a starring role as the mayor of Kingstown, a Paramount+ original about a fictional town where businesses rely on incarceration. Since the series premiered in 2021, Renner has been involved alongside co-star Michale Beach, who recently shared more information about Renner’s shocking accident.

Per The direct one, Beach said Renner died clinically after the snowplow incident in 2023. Renner’s heart literally stopped beating, meaning the actor died clinically as a result of his injuries. Luckily, Renner is doing much better now, and Beach explains how much he admires his co-star.

Jeremy (Renner) is a war horse, man. I mean, this guy broke 38 bones. He actually died, which I didn’t know until he told me, and he came back. And he says he’s not sure what it would be like. But he was ready. And he says every week he feels stronger and stronger. And there was no interruption based on his physical ability or not. He’s there and doing it. He is great. Yeah, he’s a great guy, man. And he’s really badass.”

Renner’s portrayal of Hawkeye proved popular enough for an entire spin-off series Hawkeye, which debuted on Disney+ in 2021. Renner has portrayed Hawkeye in a total of five Marvel films, including Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). He also portrayed an alternative Clint Barton/Hawkeye in Avengers: Endgame.
