Happy Christmas!
The trailer and poster have arrived for the Disney+ Hawkeye series starring Jeremy Renner as the titular hero and Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop and, I must say, this looks much more light-hearted and fun than I expected as so far the MCU shows on the streaming platform have been fairly dark affairs… this straight up looks like fun.
One thing that has struck us though is that, despite all our thoughts, Black Widow star Florence Pugh is not credited as Yelena Belova who, after the events of Black Widow, we were sure was set to be a big part of this series. Still, her not being in the synopsis (below) doesn’t mean she won’t appear.
Disney+ and Marvel Studios invite you on an unexpected holiday getaway with Hawkeye, a new series set in post-blip New York City. Former Avenger Clint Barton has a seemingly simple mission: get back to his family for Christmas. Possible? Maybe with the help of Kate Bishop, a 22-year-old archer with dreams of becoming a Super Hero. The two are forced to work together when a presence from Barton’s past threatens to derail far more than the festive spirit.
Starring Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, “Hawkeye” also features Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon, Brian d’Arcy James and newcomer Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez.
Helmed by Rhys Thomas and directing duo Bert and Bertie, Hawkeye debuts exclusively on Disney+ on November 24, 2021.
