Since 2012’s “The Avengers,” Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton has always been Marvel’s blue collar superhero, a regular guy with fabulous aim whose weapon of choice to defeat all manner of villainy is,a bow and arrow.
On the new Disney Plus series “Hawkeye” — the character’s first titular outing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Clint meets his biggest fan, Kate Bishop, a wealthy Manhattan native who has, since she was a child, devoted her life to becoming a superhero just like Clint.
Hawkeye starts a few days before Christmas. Clint is visiting New York City with his children to watch the all-singing, all-dancing Rogers: The Musical (yes, that’s a Captain America musical).
Of course, Hawkeye wouldn’t be much of a superhero show if it just concerned family and Christmas. There’s another thing – well, person – set to give Clint a headache. Hawkeye superfan Kate Bishop
In fact, ahead of the Hawkeye premiere, the cast and makers sat down for a global press conference and talked about everything Hawkeye. From the banter and bond between Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton and Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop to the things that make the series standout in the MCU
But more than anything fans are thrilled to catch a break from all the multiversal chaos and see the Avenger come back in action, on the same streets where he once fought with his teammates.
Needless to say, it adds a certain authenticity to the whole premise, bringing us back to the ground after time-hopping and alternate universes.
