Jeremy Renner is busy firing plastics arrows at home for his Hawkeye preparation.

Set to reprise the role of super-archer Clint Barton in the upcoming Disney+ series, the 50-year-old star treated his Instagram followers to a sneak peek of the strict training regime yesterday (January 19).

He won't do much damage if he carries on like this, though.

Nabbed from Renner's TikTok account, the clip sees him armed with a toy bow and arrow as he takes out invisible enemy threats around the house.

"Yeah baby!" he yells at the end – clearly one of them hit its mark.

He knowingly captioned his post: "Quarantine training at home ... like an 8 year old #hawkeyeathome."

Loving the actor's sense of humour, one fan wrote in the comment section: "Waiting for the broken glass sound," alongside a laughing emoji.

"There is a child in everyone, please stay the way you are," added someone else, while a third person joked: "And this is why hawkeye is the strongest avenger."

Meanwhile, Marvel's stable of Disney+ shows finally began rolling out earlier this month, with the premiere of sitcom pastiche WandaVision.

In Digital Spy's four-star review, we noted: "The feel and tone of the show is a bold choice, but one that absolutely pays off. With a seemingly endless list of Disney spin-offs and re-imaginings of existing franchises, WandaVision has set the bar sky-high, and shows that there can still be room for creative flair and original storytelling."

Hawkeye will air on Disney+.
