#mayor of kingstown
„I guess only the sense of trying to keep peace. Maybe the ferocity in the morality, in the code of it all. One’s done in tights and a bow and arrow, and the other one’s done in an ill-fit suit. I think the intentions are always good for both characters of trying to do what’s right and trying to keep peace. I think that would be the through-line.“
- Jeremy Renner on what his characters Mike McLusky and Clint Barton have in common [x]
„Jeremy joins the Armchair Expert Podcast to discuss where the confidence in his own masculinity comes from, how his first investments were in real estate, and how he was a makeup artist while auditioning for roles early in his career. Jeremy talks about how he bought a fleet of firetrucks to support volunteer crews in his community, what the experience of shooting The Hurt Locker was like, and how his relationship with the original six Marvel stars has evolved over the years. Jeremy explains why he took the Mayor of Kingstown role without reading a single line of the script, how never used to buy things for fun, and how he was always more comfortable on the stage than on film.“

„I don’t think there is light without the dark. A truth doesn’t exist without a lie, you know? My job is always to look at other people’s perspectives, and in general, I always try to remain very, very hopeful about even the bleakest situation. It’s coming through darkness or hardships or failures in life, where successes become real success.” [x]
- Jeremy Renner for Flaunt Magazine (2021)
“Some people just know me as Hawkeye. Some people go a little deeper.”[x]
- Jeremy Renner for The New York Times (2021)
“‘Hawkeye‘ is sweet, light fare. There’s some heaviness to it, don’t get me wrong. But comparatively, ‚Mayor of Kingstown‘ is going to hit people with a hammer.” [x]
Jeremy Renner for The New York Times (2021)
“This character is an interesting anti-hero, but it’s complicated, he’s a complicated character. He comes from the basic principles that I admire. I admire the selflessness in a job and I love the decisions he makes and doesn’t make, he’s a complicated character in a complicated world and there couldn’t be something more interesting for me to play than that.“
- Jeremy Renner [x]

Holding this town together is a family business. Meet the McLusky brothers in Mayor Of Kingstown, streaming tomorrow.
“[I] didn’t realize it until about halfway through Mayor of Kingstown … I am like, ‘Oh my God, I was just in this sort of Christmas vibe in New York’ [filming Hawkeye] and it’s like oh my gosh, this is really heavy. I think the idea that the Hawkeye thing actually really helped me, just helped transition the set vibe, if you will, to be a little bit lighter. I don’t know how you can crack jokes on a set like Mayor of Kingstown, but somehow, some way I did and we had actually a really good time shooting it.”
- Jeremy Renner on how Hawkeye helped him prepare for his role in MoK
„We get paid to give advice, so let me give you some. Wherever you’re from, you should go back. You won’t make it here.”
- Mike McLusky
This is tremendous, Renner!
I love the interaction between Mike and Iris, natural and not overact~ two damaged people heal each other…
P.s. the ‘u don’t own me anything’ thing bring me some clintasha spirit~ I think this is on purpose cuz renner is one of the excutive producers
Most excited and favorite scene in mayor of kingstown till now~
Mike, u do have some spirit of your brother -Aaron Cross
Mike can be in top 5 of the best fighter of JR’s characters.
Jeremy·always sleepy·renner
Mayor of kingstown is deep.
I love Mike McLusky
He just like the only human being, oh and bunny~
P.s. and they refer iris as a poisonous spider, and she probably came from Russia. She sent by the bad boss Milo, and Mike might probably save her from the bad guys…I mean, doesn’t it sound familiar? lol
Mayor of Kingstown s01e05:“Whenever I Get Mad, I Start Thinking Mitch. I Don’t Know Why. Once I Start, I Can’t Stop. And That Fucking Pisses Me Off.”
1st of all! Do not believe what they say about Russia vs Ukraine. No intention for any war act here, folks! That’s an absurd idea. US gov definitely wants to spoil your minds for its profit.
2nd. Glad to hear there is a new series with mr. Renner))) Hope it will be available online soon.
3rd. Now I am watching “Chicago on fire”, so I need help. Why there are some episodes with a lable “to be continued” in the end - but in the next one I can’t see any explanation what happened…??
