Immediately after the accident , his life was in danger , but he underwent two successful surgeries and treatments. Six months later, he was able to appear on TV interviews and talk about the accident, although he was using a cane. As you would expect from a Hollywood action star, he has an incredible ability to recover .

To celebrate Jeremy Renner 's recovery, we'd like to take a closer look at the watch he wore in the movie.

The Russian nuclear missile launch codes are stolen by a terrorist known as "Cobalt." IMF spy Ethan Hunt ( Tom Cruise ) infiltrates the Kremlin to investigate the truth behind the incident, but at the same time, a bombing occurs and he is considered a terrorist suspect by Russia. In order to avoid being recognized as a terrorist organization by Russia, the IMF issues the "Ghost Protocol," a directive that treats Ethan as "a non-existent member of the organization" and has no knowledge or involvement in his actions.

Having lost the backing of the IMF, Ethan tracks down the whereabouts of "Cobalt" in order to prevent nuclear war with a team of just four people: female spy Jane ( Paula Patton ), hacking expert Benji ( Simon Pegg ), and data analyst Brant ( Jeremy Renner ).

"Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" (2011) is the fourth installment of the spy action series "Mission: Impossible" series. The watch worn by Jeremy Renner, who plays a data analyst who pursues terrorists with Ethan Hunt, in this film is thought to be a Rolex Submariner (Ref. 116610LN) .

Since Mission: Impossible is known for its intense action, the black Submariner, which is one of the most durable luxury watches and does not stand out as a spy watch, is a good choice.

Project Outcome is a top-secret CIA project that aims to create assassins with fearsome abilities by administering drugs to remodel the personalities and bodies of test subjects . The CIA's top brass, fearing that the agency's position will be compromised if information about the project is leaked, decide to erase the project data and those involved, at the suggestion of Rick Byers ( Edward Norton ) of the Bureau of Research and Analysis.

In order to destroy the evidence, those involved in Project Outcome are being eliminated one by one. Meanwhile, pursuers are closing in on Aaron Cross ( Jeremy Renner ), the hitman known as "Project Outcome's masterpiece."

The fourth film in the Jason Bourne series, which began with The Bourne Identity (2002), is The Bourne Legacy (2012). This is not a reboot starring Jason Bourne, but a spinoff action blockbuster that depicts the deadly battle between the organization and Aaron Cross, an assassin who was involved in a similar plot at the same time as Jason Bourne.

The watch worn by Jeremy Renner, who plays Aaron Cross in this film, is the IWC Pilot's Watch Double Chronograph Top Gun (Ref. IW379901) . This special model is named after the US Air Force combat training school "Top Gun." The lightweight titanium material allows the wearer to move freely and increases the mission's success rate and survivability, making this the perfect watch for a " physical assassin ."

ARRIVAL (2016)

One day, a huge mysterious object thought to be a spaceship appears in the sky above 12 countries on Earth. As unrest and anxiety spreads around the world, linguist Louise ( Amy Adams ) and physicist Ian ( Jeremy Renner ) are asked by the US military to decipher a voice that seems to be an "alien language" coming from inside the spaceship.

Louise continues to analyze the alien language, eventually entering the spaceship and meeting the aliens and beginning to communicate with them. As she begins to understand the alien language, she begins to realize that she is able to see into the past and future...

"Story of Your Life " is a science fiction novel by Ted Chiang that depicts the relationship between "language and world perception" and was awarded the Nebula Award for outstanding science fiction works. This novel, which was said to be impossible to film, was made into a film by Denis Villeneuve, director of " Blade Runner 2049 " (2017) and " Dune " (2021). " Arrival " (2016) asks viewers powerful questions: "What is time? What is life? What is love? What is life?"

Jeremy Renner plays Ian, a physicist whose role is to analyze and communicate to Louise, a linguist, the " shape and form of the world " as perceived by aliens. The watch he wears in this film is thought to be a Victorinox Airboss Chronograph (Ref. 241599) . Aerodynamics, which allows planes, which are lumps of iron, to fly in the sky, is a symbol of "physics proving impossible realities." I feel that the pilot's watch that supports it is a metaphor for physics unraveling the aliens' perception of the world, which is impossible for human senses to understand.

summary

What did you think.

He once said in an interview that he is "not the type of Hollywood party-loving celebrity," so his lineup is surprisingly solid for a star actor, including highly practical Rolex , IWC , and Victorinox pilot watches.

After the accident, Jeremy Renner's film and TV appearances were left blank, but he has finally decided to come back as an actor. The work is " Mayor of Kingstown Season 3 ".

" Kingstown " is a fictional town where the prison is at the heart of the economy. Set in this anarchic town, the hit crime drama " Mayor of Kingstown " depicts the fight between corrupt police and racists and the town's powerful McCluskey family. Since the series began airing in 2021, Jeremy Renner has starred as Mayor Mike McCluskey, who governs the town. The producers say they have begun production of the latest series, "Season 3," while waiting for him to recover from his injury.

The producers believed in his comeback, and Jeremy Renner lived up to that trust. I think this episode shows how much he is trusted by film and TV producers. I think it will be a while before he returns to action movies, but I'm sure he will meet the expectations of his fans someday.

see you!
