Inspired in part by Matt Fraction's 2012–15 Marvel comic book run, the Disney+ series - created by Mad Men and Bridgerton alum Jonathan Igla - finds Hawkeye in New York City.

If anything, it's the lightest of what Marvel has offered so far on TV. That's where we start the series - things that happened in the past catch up to him.”įrom Hawkeye to Dhamaka, What to Watch in Novemberīut Hawkeye is not at all heavy. Justified or not, it's a giant weight on him because he knew he was going outside the moral code of what he is. Everyone dealt with those losses in a different way - Clint went full-on vigilante. Renner said in an official Hawkeye production diary: “He lost his whole family in the Blip, and then he took his pain and rage and sadness out on every bad guy on the planet. Just like Johansson's Natasha Romanoff passed the torch in Black Widow and confronted her past, Hawkeye finds the former Avenger in a post-Endgame world doing the same (more reluctantly). Speaking of, it's seemingly end of the line for Hawkeye too. And so here we are, at the end of that queue, with Hawkeye. One could argue that Mark Ruffalo's Hulk has yet to get his own project, and you would be right, but The Incredible Hulk (with Edward Norton) is technically part of the MCU.

Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow got her own movie earlier this year. Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, Chris Evans' Captain America, and Chris Hemsworth's Thor had a trilogy of movies. That makes him the last of the original six Avengers to get his own MCU project, in a manner of speaking. After five supporting appearances across the Marvel Cinematic Universe - three of them Avengers movies - Jeremy Renner's bow-and-arrow titular superhero is getting his own Disney+ series later this week. Hawkeye is finally branching off on his own.
