It’s Avengers to the rescue in the comments section of Jeremy Renner’s first social media post since he was run over by a snowplough on Sunday.

The actor underwent two surgeries at a Nevada hospital after he was hit by a 14,000lb snowplough, which he was using to help clear neighbours’ driveways.

The Hawkeye star shared a selfie from his hospital bed Tuesday (3 January) with the caption: “Thank you all for your kind words. Im too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.”

In the comments section were Renner’s Marvel co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt, who play Thor and Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, respectively.

“Speedy recovery buddy. Sending love your way!” Hemsworth wrote.

Meanwhile, Pratt commented: “Continued prayers your way brutha.”

Alaqua Cox, Renner’s co-star in the Disney+ Hawkeye TV series also responded with two love heart emojis.

Marvel’s directing team sent their love, too. Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi wrote: “My brother I love you [heart emoji].”

And the Russo brothers (Avengers directors) commented: “Sending all of our love, brother, and hopes for a speedy recovery.”

Other A-list well-wishers included Orlando Bloom, Kate Beckinsale and Heidi Klum.

Yesterday, the Hulk/Bruce Banner star Mark Ruffalo asked fans to send “healing goodness” to Renner.
