[Update: Or nah] Jeremy Renner broke both his arms doing ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ stunt

[Update: Or nah.]

You can say what you will about Jeremy Renner as Hawkguy. Specifically, that he isn’t Hawkguy, was miscast as Hawkguy, and is written oddly as Hawkguy (though I don’t mind him as much as others do). However, what you can’t say is the dude isn’t committed to the character.

In an unfortunate instance of a fake superhero getting really hurt, Jeremy Renner fractured both arms while doing a stunt for Infinity War.

Renner told the story of how he fractured his right elbow and left wrist at Karlovy Vary Film Festival (via Variety). For someone with two arms in braces, he seems pretty determined to keep working, saying that the injuries “won’t stop [him] from things that [he needs] to be doing.”

That’s impressive, becuase although his Instagram shows him healing it also looks painful as hell:

“I’ll heal fast. I’m doing everything I can to heal faster,” he continued. Sadly, Hawkeye does not have super-healing, so in both the MCU and the real world, Renner’s going to have to get better on regular old human time.

We also don’t know exactly what stunt laid Renner low, but it had better have been a good one. If he doesn’t have a really badass moment to justify this, that’ll just be sad.
