Jeremy Renner hospitalized after snow-related accident

LOS ANGELES (AP) — ‘Avengers’ star Jeremy Renner is being treated for serious injuries sustained while shoveling snow, the actor’s rep said Sunday.

Renner, 51, is in critical condition although stable, the actor’s rep said. No further details on the extent of Renner’s injuries were available.

The actor has a home in Nevada, but it’s unclear where he was injured. Renner plays Hawkeye, a member of the Avengers superhero team in the sprawling Marvel film and TV universe.

He’s twice nominated for an acting Oscar, scoring back-to-back nods for “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town.” Renner’s portrayal of an Iraq bomb disposal specialist in 2008’s “The Hurt Locker” helped make him a household name.

2012’s “The Avengers” cemented him as part of Marvel’s big storytelling ambitions, with his character appearing in multiple sequels and getting his own Disney+ series, “Hawkeye.”
