The series reportedly will be around six to eight episodes.
Renner is a Marvel veteran, who first starred as Hawkeye in 2011's Thor. The series on the archer is one of many planned to hit Disney+, joining reported shows about Falcon, Winter Soldier, Loki, Vision, and Scarlet Witch.
There has also been talk on whether the streaming service will reclaim Netflix's Marvel shows such as Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and The Punisher or not, however nothing has been confirmed yet.
