Jeremy Renner was assisted by a cane and a motorised scooter as he attended his first red carpet event since his serious snowplough incident earlier this year.

The US actor, 52, appeared in-person at the premiere of his new Disney+ show Rennervations in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and was cheered by fans as he arrived.

He posed for pictures with multiple members of his family, though later had to pause briefly and use the scooter to continue with press interviews.

The event comes just over three months after the incident, which occurred on January 1.

Renner was crushed by his own six-tonne snowploughing machine as he tried to help his nephew near to his US home.

The actor broke over 30 bones in the incident and was air-lifted to hospital in Reno, Nevada.

Speaking to US outlet Variety, the Hawkeye actor admitted he looked “a little beat up right now” but said the show was “propelling” him to get better.

“I set out a goal to be walking this carpet. And here I am enjoying it,” he said.

“Otherwise it would have gone to an abyss with no date and lost traction and excitement and I would have been very, very, very frustrated.

“I’m very excited right now because we’re here.”

It comes after the actor appeared on his first late night television programme, Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, in which he was given a standing ovation by audience members.

Kimmel described him as “indestructible” and said there was now “no question” as to who the toughest Avenger was.

During an ABC interview with US journalist Diane Sawyer, which aired last week, Renner went into detail about the incident and his ongoing mental and physical recovery.

He said he had “no regrets” about what had happened and would “do it again” to save his nephew.

His new show Rennervations,  a four-part docuseries embracing the actor’s passion to give back to communities – arrives on Disney+ on Wednesday.
