Evangeline Lilly Brags On Fellow Marvel Star Jeremy Renner's Miraculous Recovery
"Ant-Man and the Wasp" star Evangeline Lilly shared a positive update regarding Jeremey Renner's recovery. On January 1, Marvel fans were saddened after Renner was seriously injured in a snow plow accident in Reno, Nevada. According to People, a source revealed that the "Hawkeye" star was helping a family member get their car out of the snow. "He was also helping clear out the snow of his neighbor's home as everyone up there had been without power for 24 hours, and there had been a large snowfall," the source shared.
Due to "blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries," Renner was rushed to the hospital, where he was said to be in "critical but stable condition" after undergoing two surgeries the following day, per Deadline. A few weeks after his admittance, "The Mayor of Kingstown" star updated fans on his recovery in a heartfelt Instagram post. "I want to thank EVERYONE for their messages and thoughtfulness for my family and I.... Much love and appreciation to you all. These 30-plus broken bones will mend, grow stronger," he wrote on January 21. But Renner hasn't been the only person to share an update on his miraculous recovery.
