She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant. Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available. Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show. Her Alien: Earth coverage for ScreenRant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far. She was initially a finance and political editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism. During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it. Sign in to your ScreenRant account Jeremy Renner potentially just teased his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Avengers. Renner is getting ready to suit up as Hawkeye’s bow again for an upcoming Disney Ride. However, the longtime Marvel star's mysterious Instagram story could imply that he could be making an appearance in either Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars. The photo posted by the actor revealed a close-up of his iconic costume from the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. The post comes shortly after Kevin Feige officially confirmed that Renner will reprise Clint Barton for Avengers Infinity Defense, one of two new attractions being added to Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure. Announced during the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23 2026, the attraction will open in 2028 and take guests across Asgard, Wakanda, and New York City in a battle against King Thanos. Renner will be joined by several other MCU veterans on the ride, including Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man). Iman Vellani will also appear as Ms. Marvel, who greets guests before they go on the ride. Disney says the attraction will combine massive sets and sequences. For now, Renner is not officially part of Avengers: Doomsday. Disney's current cast list does not include him, and Renner said in October 2025 that he was not set to appear in either Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars. His confirmed theme park return does not change that. However, MCU actors have lied about appearing in films before, most notably Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire claiming that they would not be in Spider-Man: No Way Home. This increases the chances of Hawkeye popping up in an Avengers movie somewhere down the line, but the reports should be taken with a grain of salt. Despite Renner's status in the MCU remaining ambiguous, fans of the Avengers can still expect to see some beloved stars reprise their roles in Doomsday. Some of the returning iconic actors include Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, Paul Rudd (Scott Lang / Ant-Man), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Ian McKellen (Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), James Marsden (Scott Summers / Cyclops), Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier / Professor X), and so much more. Avengers: Doomsday will be released in theaters on December 18, 2026. Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled to premiere on December 17, 2027. Avengers: Doomsday Release Date December 18, 2026 Runtime 165 Minutes Cast Vanessa Kirby Sue Storm / Invisible Woman Johnny Storm / Human Torch Ebon Moss-Bachrach Ben Grimm / The Thing Avengers: Doomsday is the fifth Avengers film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will bring together heroes, new and old, to face off against Victor von Doom - played by the returning Robert Downey Jr. The upcoming film notably marks the beginning of Phase 6 of the MCU.
