As Jeremy Renner continues to recover from the snow plow accident that caused him “traumatic” injuries, he’s receiving support from friends, fans, and a whole host of superheroes. According to a statement from the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, Renner was “run over” by “an extremely large piece of snow removal equipment” on New Year’s Day. The actor reportedly underwent multiple surgeries, and was thankfully later able to post an update to Instagram from his hospital bed on Tuesday, captioning the photo, “Thank you all for your kind words. I’m too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.”

Several of Renner’s fellow Marvel heroes commented on the post, including Chris Hemsworth (“Speedy recovery buddy. Sending love your way!”), Chris Evans (“Tough as nails. Love you buddy”), and Chris Pratt (“Continued prayers your way brutha”). Paul Bettany, who plays fellow Avenger Vision, commented, “Love you mate. Sending you love and healing.” Cobie Smulders, a.k.a. Agent Maria Hill, similarly commented that she was “Sending love your way.” And Josh Brolin, who played the ultimate villain Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, wrote, “Close but no cigar. You’re blessed. Quick recovery, brother.”

Renner also received well wishes from a collection of Marvel directors, including DC boss and Guardians Of The Galaxy helmer James Gunn, who dropped a heart and raised-hands emoji. Thor: Love And Thunder director Taika Waititi commented, “My brother I love you,” while the Russo Brothers, who directed Renner in Captain America: Civil War and his last Avengers films wrote from their shared account, “Sending all of our love, brother, and hopes for a speedy recovery.”

Previously, fellow Avenger Mark Ruffalo posted on his own Instagram story requesting his followers pray for Renner’s “full and speedy recovery,” adding, “Please send healing goodness his way.” On Tuesday, Renner’s Hawkeye co-star Hailee Steinfeld (who plays his protegeé Kate Bishop on the Disney+ show) re-posted Renner’s hospital selfie to her own IG Story. “Come on partner!!! Thank God you’re healing,” she wrote. We are sending you love and prayers for a speedy recovery.”

Numerous other celebrities sent thoughts and prayers, including Jimmy Fallon, Vanessa Hudgens, Orlando Bloom, Isla Fisher, Kate Hudson, Heidi Klum, and more. DJ Steve Aoki commented: “Brother u r a superhero to all of us. U will get through this with flying colors. Love and positive energy to u!” Safe to say Jeremy Renner has a multiverse of support behind him.

    Well, at lease we know what DJ Steve Aoki had to say about this. Thank the non-existent lord above..

      If Jeremy Renner surviving being run over by a tank blow says anything, it’s that there is a God and their favorite Avenger is Hawkeye.

      • pete-worst-av says:

        The Avengers always win when Hawkeye is taking part in the battle. I think that says something. So shut up, god.

      • retort-av says:

        Hawkeye in the comics and the animations are actually pretty good character. His movie character is just lacking. That being said Civil war Hawkeye was my favorite performance because he was a bit more of a jerk and it worked like when He talks to Tony in the prison strongest Hawkeye dialogue ever. His golf joke was funny as well.

      You forgot to say Brother

    Oof. Just heard he was run over. Happened to a friend of mine about seven years ago, but an industrial forklift, not a snowcat. Took him a year in the hospital to recover and years of PT. Renner’s lucky, in a way, that it was a snowcat because those mostly use treads and spread the weight out better than wheels. A small consolation, I suppose.

    Someone should really explain to him that Lake Tahoe houses are summer homes, and there’s a reason most rich people don’t live in them year round. Just in case he didn’t learn that the hard way.

    • pete-worst-av says:

      The one time I’ve been to Tahoe was in the winter, and it was gorgeous. It snowed the whole time, and there was a covered hot tub out back that was a lot of fun to sit in during the slight snowstorm we got..

    • geralyn-av says:

      Lake Tahoe has a year round population of 40,000. So I guess lots of people need that explained to them.

  • browza-av says:

    We need a random seven year old to dress up like Hawkeye and visit him.

  • adamtrevorjackson-av says:

    and yet it was radio silence when he broke his back on the set of tag. typical hollywood!

  • scortius-av says:

    as the son of a man who ran himself over with a tractor when he was 9 years old, I sympathize.  He hit something when he was helping my grandfather and flew over the front of the tractor and it rolled on top of him.  Fortunately the ground was pretty soft and he escaped with just some bruises.

  • igotlickfootagain-av says:

    Apparently Scarlett Johansson dropped in to see him, but it landed with a thud.

  • yawantpancakes-av says:

    Say what you will about the MCU movies, but these actors seem to have genuine love for each other.
