"I'm doing a job that isn't really requiring a ton of stunts," Renner toldVariety of his Tag injury last July. "It's not an action movie; it's a comedy. It just happens to have a few stunts in it. So I don't have to beat a whole lot of people up or do anything crazy. So it won't really affect my job. It affects how I get dressed in the morning. I can't tie my shoes, but outside of that and everything else, I can kind of get by."

Jeff Tomsic (Broad City, Idiotsitter) is directing from Rob McKittrick and Mark Steilen's script, based on a Wall Street Journal article by Russell Adams. Rashida Jones, Leslie Bibb, Isla Fisher, and Annabelle Wallis also star in this comedy that promises to document a group of friends' annual "no-holds-barred game of tag." This year, the tag showdown is complicated by the existence of an unfortunate wedding.

Tag arrives June 15, a full two months after Renner bows in the lo-fi experimental film Avengers: Infinity War at an arthouse theater near you.
