“That’s not my job,” Renner told Business Insider on Tuesday, adding, “I don’t know contracts and money and all that sort of stuff.”

Jeremy Renner went on to say that he supports actresses being compensated fairly. But, he is just focused on his acting and his performance as an actor. “I’m a performer and I know human behavior,” he said. “When it comes to that sort of stuff I let other people deal with that.”

While, Jeremy Renner was probably being as upfront and open about his experiences in Hollywood, on Twitter people called for Marvel to replace the actor on all future superhero movies.

“I don’t know where it’s changing otherwise, but that’s something that I could do,” he said.

“Usually you don’t talk about the financial stuff, you have people,” Cooper added. “But you know what? It’s time to start doing that.”
