On Monday, Hawkeye star, Jeremy Renner paid a much-appreciated visit to ‌Jimmy Kimmel Live! The 52-year-old actor, who was injured in a snowplow accident, is on the road to recovery. 

He made this most recent appearance just a few days after his taped interview with Diane Sawyer. The Avengers star undoubtedly exhibits significant ABC/Disney synergy, but it could all just be a coincidence. 

During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Renner talked about the reactions of his famous friends, including Chris Evans, to his injuries. They both starred in Marvel movies as co-stars: Renner played Hawkeye, while Evans played Captain America. The Avengers, Infinity War, and Endgame are just a few of the well-known films, in which they have both acted.
