Jeremy Renner maintains the power of a true superhero!
The Avengers actor attended the debut of Rennervations, his new Disney+ reality series about restoring secondhand cars for impoverished communities all across the world at Westwood Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles.

Renner arrived on the carpet with a cane and appeared with his family for pictures. The actor initially used a motorized scooter to help him through press interviews after a brief period of walking.
Even though he was recuperating from his wounds, Renner declared that he was committed to keeping the Rennervations debut on schedule.

“I was really adamant about them not pushing this thing while there was momentum with the brass at Disney, with us, with the timing of it in all of our lives. It just felt right,” Renner told Variety. “I look a little beat up right now, but I promise you this show is what’s propelling me to get better and makes me want to get better every day. I set out a goal to be walking this carpet. And here I am enjoying it. Otherwise it would have gone to an abyss with no date and lost traction and excitement and I would have been very, very, very frustrated. I’m very excited right now because we’re here.”
In an attempt to stop his 14,330-pound Sno-Cat from hitting his nephew on New Year’s Day, Renner attempted to leap back into the car but was struck by it instead and sustained life-threatening injuries.
After calling 911, Renner’s neighbors attempted to save the actor’s life while they waited 21 minutes for paramedics to arrive in the icy weather.

It is truly a miracle to see Renner power through a tough injury and still make it to the premiere of his upcoming show.
