While promoting Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, stars Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly have shared an update on Jeremy Renner after the fellow Avengers: Endgame actor was injured in a snow plow accident on New Year’s Day. Renner reportedly sustained “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries,” which he later confirmed to be “30 plus broken bones.” As he works to get back into fighting/Rennervating shape, the Hawkeye star has been supported by his fellow Marvel heroes.
“I talked to him yesterday, yeah, he’s doing alright,” Rudd says in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “He’s doing well. He’s the best guy, he’s awesome.”
Meanwhile, Lilly has visited Renner at his home, where he has been recovering since being discharged from the hospital following two surgeries.
“I walked in his house and got chicken skin because I was like, ‘Why are you mobile? Why are you mobile? What’s happening?’” the Lost actor tells Access Hollywood (via Variety). “I expected to sit at his bedside and hold his hand while he moaned and groaned in pain and wasn’t able to move. He was wheeling himself around, laughing with his friends. It’s a miracle. It’s a straight up miracle. He’s made of something really tough, that guy. You’ve always been able to see that in him and he is recovering incredibly.”
Of course, the Oscar-nominated Renner is quite an enterprising fellow, and it’s not surprising that he would tackle physical therapy with the same gusto as singing, house flipping, and running an app dedicated to himself.
“It was really intense. I mean, he had a near-death experience that was highly traumatic, and he was awake for the whole thing,” Lilly adds. “I’m still having moments where some of the stuff he told me that he experienced and retelling me the story of what went on and the things he could hear and the things that he could see.”
Though it’s remarkable that Renner survived the accident in the first place and he has a long recovery ahead of him, the Mayor Of Kingstown actor is clearly eager to “get back on [his] feet” and head back to work on his upcoming Disney+ series Rennervations.

Go figure, Anti-Vaxx Lilly thought over a month later, Renner would be in the same condition he was in the day after his accident.
I keep waiting for Paul Rudd to cash in a bunch of his white guy/nice guy priviledge and say, “Yeah, Keri Russell can do everything this bitch can do. Make it so”
“It’s a miracle. It’s a straight up miracle.”
She doesn’t believe in vaccines, and apparently she doesn’t believe that the body can do any mending of itself over the course of nearly six weeks.
It’s a miracle. It’s a straight up miracle.No, just modern medicine. Well, and presumably great health insurance.
“I walked in his house and got chicken skin”I definitely thought she meant he was offering appetizers. Anyway, that’s a gross way to describe goose bumps, but I’ll admit that “goose bumps” isn’t any better when you get right down to it.
“Chicken Skin” is an Eastern European knock-off of the “Goosebumps” series and every book published is a number-one best seller in Latvia.
You vill laff as haunted ventriloquist dummy wait in line two hours for toilet paper. Because, he dummy – he no need toilet paper!
“Reader beware, the State is monitoring your library activity.”
Haven’t they always…. Lol
So it was Lilly who said he was wheeling himself around. I read somewhere else that sounded like it was Rudd who said that, and I thought Rudd was setting up to take his Mac and Me joke to another level.
Quite possibly the greatest long running callback in comedy history.
You just know that at Rudd’s funeral they’re going to play a tribute video and it’s just going to be the Mac and Me clip.
You just know that at Rudd’s funeralDo you realise the mistake you just made?
He’s immortal, not unkillable!
Like Tolkien’s elves.
And after waiting in line at the visitation, you’ll find out that Mac is in the casket instead of Rudd.
I thought Rudd was setting up to take his Mac and Me joke to another level. Oh, I wouldn’t count that out. Rudd will be doing the talk show rounds for the new Ant-Man movie, and someone is bound to ask him how Renner is. “Oh, yeah, I went to see him and he let me take this video.” The bit writes itself.
I’m not someone who sticks their tongue out a little when they smile or laugh. But I’m fascinated by people who do — you know, just the huge variety of ways in which people’s faces work.
That his show is called ‘Rennervations’ makes the “Renning Hot” joke from ‘Glass Onion’ all the more plausible.
I guess “Jeremodeling” was taken.
