IIRC his health wasn't the issue:
https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/jeremy-renner-blasts-disney-for-lowballing-him-for-hawkeye-season-2/article69529398.ece
“They asked me to do season two, and they offered me half the money,” Renner said. “I’m like, wow, it’s going to take me twice the amount of work for half the amount of money... Did you think I’m only half the Jeremy because I got ran over?”
I wonder if privately it was. He mentions twice the amount of work, possibly because he's recovering.
The setup from Hawkeye season 1 was definitely a passing of the torch, but maybe Renner isn't ready to fully pass it. We know Kate is an expert with her bow, but maybe she still needs help figuring out the spy and investigation stuff. Maybe the plan was for Clint to be more "guy in the chair" (hence the reduced pay), but this article is meant to be more, "I'm not retired yet".
They might have been trying to increase the amount of episodes. That's what they did with Walking Dead. Fired the guy who directed season 1, increased the amount of episodes for season 2 and reduced the budget.
Hawkeye season 2 better not be just set at the farmhouse.
still boggles my mind how bad they fucked up that show after 1 season.
The CDC episode is one of my favorites for the setup, and then it meant nothing.
