Jeremy Renner shows off recovery via workout and walking videos
Excelsior! Hawkeye is making a comeback one squat at a time
Aux News Renner
Jeremy Renner is on the mend five months after the horrific snowmobile accident that left him hospitalized and nearly dead. After making stops on late-night TV and the premiere of his new Disney+ series, Rennervations, Renner is making strides. In a recent Instagram video, the actor shared his progress via squats, lateral jumps, and a short message.
“I’ve decided to push through the pain of progress (this damn shattered tibia) and take the new parts for a tiny test drive,” Renner’s caption read. “The body is miraculous… Even though I feel like the Tin Man, needing oil for all my new joints (hips, knees, ankles, tibia, etc). Encouraged after this warm up to press on (don’t tell my PT).”
He may be oiling up those joints, but it’s far from where he was a few months ago. Renner shared a brief montage of his improvements in another video because recovery gives you a lot of time to post on Instagram. Like the riddle of the Sphinx, the video begins with Renner on four legs (via a walker), then two legs without assistance. However, Renner defies the riddle, too, as the actor walks with a cane in his hand but never allows it to touch the ground.
Earlier this year, Renner broke more than 30 bones after a 14,330-pound Sno-Cat rolled over him as the actor rescued his nephew from the machine’s course. Since then, Renner’s recovery has been slow, though nevertheless impressive. Despite how close the situation comes to sounding like a superhero origin story for a character named “Sno-Cat” who survives the wreck with the help of a mech suit created by Stark Industries, being crushed by a 14,330-pound Sno-Cat is not an experience anyone should aspire to. It will probably kill you or break more than 30 bones. But, of course, Jeremy Renner has been proving himself one of Hollywood’s most resilient stars, returning to public life to the delight of his family, friends, and fans.

Holy hell. I know that rich celebrity can get the best surgeries and treatment, but he’s healing more faster than Captain America normal people after those accident.
Yeah, it’s still pretty damn impressive. I suspect that those crazy workout regiments that they make them do to be in Marvel movies have actually been extremely helpful in preparing him for this. It’s grueling, repetitive, and painful, but to a certain degree it’s got to be just a much harder, higher climb of a fairly familiar cliff.
Disney/Marvel are probably making sure he has the best doctors look after him. Not sure if they have any further Hawkeye plans soon but I suspect they are priming up a return of the OG Avengers here in the next few years and they will need their Hawkeye.
Does his beenis still work?
I like him, he seems like a good guy, and I’m glad he’s recovering. I’m sure it’s very difficult. But I…like, I need a better look at this house. I cannot make sense of it.
Everyone knows that Sno-Cat would get destroyed by The Snow Dog. I mean, he beat Prince By-Tor!
I know he has the best medical care money can buy, but based on what we know about the accident it seems completely insane that he’s this healed. Like he described his skull being fractured in such a way he could see his eye with his other eye. I might be a Renner/Sno-Cat truther.
I still want to know if they put the Snow Cat down.
