HAWKEYE Casting Call Hints At A Familiar, Villainous Face From Matt Fraction's Run Appearing In The Series

Hawkeye is expected to borrow a lot from Matt Fraction's memorable comic book run, and the latest casting call indicates that Clint Barton and Kate Bishop could end up facing off with The Clown!

Hawkeye is still looking for its Kate Bishop, but the rest of the cast is being filled out, with rumors about Echo already doing the rounds in recent weeks. Today, The Illuminerdi reports that a leaked casting call reveals that Marvel Studios wants to find a character to play "Arek" (a codename). 

A male between the ages of 20 and 30, he's described as having an Eastern European background, and the character is expected to appear in five out of six episodes of Hawkeye

The prevailing theory right now is that this is actually little-known Hawkeye villain Kazimierz Kazimiercza. A young Polish man who takes on the mantle of "The Clown," he first showed up in 2013's Hawkeye #8. An assassin hired to take Clint Barton out, it's possible that he could be among those gunning for the Avenger after the time he spent murdering criminals as Ronin. 

The Clown is a sinister baddie, and often teamed with the "Tracksuit Draculas" who are also rumored to be part of Hawkeye. Whether he's the lead villain is another matter, but Marvel Studios has taken its fair share of mostly unknown villains and turned them into A-List threats over the years. 

Whatever the case may be, this Disney+ series definitely seems to be taking shape after numerous delays.

They should get the guy who played Roman Polanski in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He's Polish and looks just like Kazi.

That Matt Fraction run is pretty good, I've got the omnibus.

Could be a good series.

Wouldn't it be funny if after having better Superman (in the form of Captain America) and better hero vs. hero movie, MCU would have better Joker than DCEU next?

Granted, Leto didn't set the bar high.

Tracksuit Draculas? I don't who they are, but from the name alone I really want to see them

Never heard about him until now, but bringing obscure characters to life is one of the things they do best.

Yes! Nikita Bogolyubov (Barry) would be perfect in this part.
