People everywhere are staying home to avoid the spread of the novel coronavirus, which means folks are doing their best to find new and creative ways to stay busy while staying in and social distancing. Many celebrities have been sharing their quarantine activities with fans on social media, and some are sharing tips and giving recommendations on how to spend your time at home. Others are just passing the time with some silly activities, which seems to be the case for Jeremy Renner. The Marvel Cinematic Universe star took to Twitter yesterday to show off his new character: DJ Sloth.

"D-D-D-DJ SLOOOOOTH," Renner says in the video. "This is ridiculous." In the video, the actor known for playing Hawkeye is rocking a full sloth costume. "In these CRAZY times for all of us, we're finding CREATIVE ways to keep our spirits up, body and minds active, and our hearts full. Much love to everyone out there! #threetoed #staysafe 🙏," Renner captioned the post. You can watch the video in the post below:

At the beginning of the month, Renner confirmed that he had begun working on the upcoming Disney+ series, Hawkeye, despite all of the issues that have reportedly gone on behind-the-scenes. The actor seemed to be preparing for production, which means it's unlikely it actually started before everything was shut down due to COVID-19.

Warner Bros. canceled the premiere of Superman: Red Son. The Game Developers Conference canceled its 2020 event after a series of company pullouts. London Book Fair was canceled. This year's SXSW was also canceled.

Upcoming Marvel Studios projects include Black Widow (release date TBD), The Falcon and The Winter Soldier in the Fall, The Eternals on November 6th, WandaVision in December, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings on February 12, 2021, Loki in Spring 2021, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on May 7, 2021, Spider-Man 3 on July 16, 2021, What If…? in Summer 2021, Hawkeye in Fall 2021, and Thor: Love and Thunder on November 5, 2021, and Black Panther 2 on May 6, 2022.
