blackwing December 4, 2020 Share December 4, 2020 Hawkeye is one of my favourite comic book characters... I really hate what the movies did to him. The Hawkeye in the comic books is brash and hotheaded and wisecrackingly funny. He was often written like Captain America's younger brother, often rebelling against authority and wanting to do things his own way. The MCU Hawkeye was none of that... he was this ultraserious family man. Not sure why they felt the need to give him a family... his whirlwind romance with Mockingbird and subsequent divorce (then her "death" and later resurrection) was a central part of his character. He's also probably romanced more of Marvel's leading ladies than most (Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, 'Bird, Wasp (?), Spider Woman...) I'm hoping this series, which does seem to be based on the Matt Fraction run, brings a more lighthearted approach to the MCU Hawkeye. It would be really great if they actually could introduce him to Adrianne Palicki's Mockingbird, but it seems the focus is going to be a lot on Kate Bishop. Link to comment

I get that Hawkeye "died" and she took up the name when he was gone. But when he came back, she should have found her own codename. Hawkeye has been around since the 1960s so I don't understand why he has to share the name. Monica Rambeau had to give up the Captain Marvel name to Genis-Vell.

Since Hawkeye seems to be completely different in the movies than he is in the comic books, maybe this story will be different too. I'm guessing that Jeremy Renner is ready to move on, so maybe Hawkeye trains his replacement and then retires to be with his family? He can pass on the name because he isn't coming back. It could also be some sort of punishment or exile for all the bad things he did in the 5 years after the snap. Link to comment

This includes a show revolving around founding Avenger Clint Barton, also known as Hawkeye. Jeremy Renner’s Disney+ show wrapped filming just a few weeks ago, but fans are now even closer to getting the series. The directors, Bert & Bertie, recently shared an update with fans, and it’s a very tasty-looking one at that. The duo’s Instagram post show that the directors cuts for the episodes of the upcoming series are officially done, and the update also included some delicious-looking cookies. You can check out the post for yourself down below: * * *There’s no confirmed release date for Hawkeye as of yet (though reports indicate that it could drop later this year), but the fact that the directors have made it this far means fans are one step closer to being reunited with Clint Barton and meeting Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop -- and it's been a long road. For a while, Steinfeld was only rumored to be taking up the Hawkeye mantle, before it was finally confirmed that she would indeed be portraying the co-lead. * * *Joining Renner and Steinfeld in the Marvel and Disney+ series are Black Widow’s Florence Pugh, who will be reprising her role as assassin/spy Yelena Belova, Better Call Saul’s Tony Dalton, Oscar-nominated actress Vera Farmiga (portraying Kate’s mother Eleanor), as well as Les Miserables’ Fra Fee, newcomer Alaqua Cox (who plays the role of Echo), and Fargo’s Zahn McClarnon. While we don't know how these characters will come together yet, Matt Fraction's Hawkeye comics run may give viewers a better idea of what to expect. Edited May 31, 2021 by tv echo 2 Link to comment

Hailee Steinfeld was first linked to the role in 2019 but wasn’t confirmed until late 2020. Joining them are Vera Farmiga as Kate’s mom, Tony Dalton as Barton’s mentor, Jack Duquesne, Alaqua Cox as superhero Maya Lopez/ Echo, Zahn McClarnon as Maya’s father, Fra Fee as Kazi and Brian d'Arcy James in an undisclosed role. Black Widow’s Florence Pugh also returns as Yelena Belova as do the young actors who played Clint’s kids in Endgame. * * * As in the comics, Bishop is set to take on the mantle of Hawkeye, and this series will see Clint Barton take her on as a protégé and train her as an archer. As Jeremy Renner explained at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Barton’s goal is to train Bishop to be a “superhero without superpowers” and mold her into a “better version” of himself. With this, the show will take elements from Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye run (Lucky the Pizza Dog included). From here, Bishop will have plenty of room to grow and will eventually find her way into upcoming Marvel movies. * * * Aside from Clint Barton and Kate Bishop’s relationship, the show will also shed some light on a dark period in the founding Avenger’s life. At the tail end of the show’s SDCC 2019 panel, Kevin Feige confirmed that it will also “explore more of his time as Ronin.” Clint performed some dark deeds under his alternate persona, so any Ronin flashbacks are sure to be brutal. Fans are likely eager to get more insight into this time, and it’ll be interesting to see what the show reveals… and what Barton’s new mentee thinks about his past actions. * * *Hawkeye may not be here yet but, apparently, Marvel already has a considerable amount of confidence in one of its lead characters. Reports indicate that Marvel Studios is developing a spinoff series centered on Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez/Echo. Introduced in Daredevil comics in the late ‘90s, Echo is one of the few deaf characters in comics and is of Native American descent. The young hero is an Olympic-level athlete and skilled fighter with the uncanny ability to copy the movements of others. The character is definitely compelling and, if Cox can nail the role, her show should be interesting.

From here, Bishop will have plenty of room to grow and will eventually find her way into upcoming Marvel movies. I take issue with their interpretation "as in the comics", because this isn't really how it happened. In the comics, Hawkeye "died" in a Quinjet explosion. Kate Bishop, who was already an archer, took up the name "Hawkeye". Then Hawkeye came back from the dead (he was in some kind of alternate dimension I believe). He told her that she could keep using the Hawkeye name, which I have always found odd. Why wouldn't she have found another name out of respect? And they have had some adventures together. But I guess here in the MCU, the story is that Hawkeye is getting old and tired and wants to retire, so he trains Kate to be his successor. That's not at all how it is in the comics, where Clint Barton is still very much active and not going anywhere any time soon. I very much hope that we can see a lighter side of Clint here in this TV show. The Matt Fraction run of Hawkeye comics is fantastic, and filled with the quips and personality that really make Hawkeye who he is. It's really a shame what they have done to him in the MCU. 1 Link to comment

Although that hasn’t been completely consistent and the backstory has changed. There has been some criticism over MCU Hawkeye not being deaf or hard of hearing. The MCU is really pushing for more representation so this is probably a move in that direction as well as a nod to comic Clint. Plus Echo, who is deaf, is being introduced in the series. Assuming Clint having hearing loss is a plot point that creates a more natural intro for Echo. Link to comment

blackwing September 15, 2021 Share September 15, 2021 Loved the trailer... the Christmas scenes and the soundtrack definitely give off "Die Hard" vibes. I love that this show is clearly adapted from the Fraction run (even down to the title logo) and that it brings in the humour of that particular run and the fact that Hawkeye in the comics is one of the funniest and most irreverent guys in comics. As I mentioned above, I hated the dour and serious MCU Hawkeye, so this version of him is great to see. Too bad that this show is almost certainly going to be Clint Barton's sendoff. I wish this funny version is the version we had gotten in the MCU. I still think it was such a puzzling choice to write him the way they did in the movies. It's funny because I'm pretty sure that Iron Man in the comics is this serious guy without any humour at all, and yet MCU Iron Man is funny and cracks jokes. It's like the Hawkeye and Iron Man personalities were reversed. 1 Link to comment

I’m not sure why Loki is getting a second season though. Jeremy Renner has stated before that he kept hoping they would kill off Hawkeye because he didn’t like the role. So I’m sure he’s going to retire from the MCU movies like Downey, Evans and Johansson. It seems clear that the purpose of this series is to introduce Kate Bishop and when next we see her in an MCU movie she will either be part of the Young Avengers or offered a spot on the main team. 1 Link to comment

I don't think there really is an ongoing Hawkeye solo title in the sense of an open-ended series like the Avengers and the X-Men (and of course, Marvel keeps re-booting and re-numbering them all every so often), there's more like a series of limited runs. The Fraction run which kicked off Hawkeye's semi-regular/limited series runs featured both Clint and Kate. Then there was one which was only Kate I believe (with maybe a Clint cameo or minor support). I think the most recent Hawkeye limited series was called Hawkeye: Freefall and that one was about Clint. And I think there is an upcoming Hawkeye Kate Bishop limited series. So in the comics, Clint Barton is very much still active as Hawkeye, and Kate Bishop is also Hawkeye. I still have never understood why she wouldn't just take on a new name once Clint came back from the dead. But I guess that's the ongoing schtick, that they are both Hawkeye. Unlike in the MCU, where Clint is clearly on his way out. 2 Link to comment

I think it was canceled not too long after and I don't think there's a current Hawkeye Title featuring either character. I don't necessarily think that there's a passing to torch exercise with these characters but, I don't know what MCU has planned. Edited September 16, 2021 by Morrigan2575 1 Link to comment
